Auricularia ornata

Auricularia ornata is a wood ear named by Persoon in 1827 from the Uranie voyage, recorded mainly from tropical Pacific islands and lowland tropical America. It grows on dead wood in hot, humid lowlands, including beach and atoll trees, and has not been re-examined in modern revisions.
