Auricularia subglabra

Auricularia subglabra is a Neotropical wood ear named by Looney, Birkebak and Matheny in 2013; the name refers to its almost hairless surface. GBIF records come mostly from Costa Rica, with a few from Colombia, Ecuador and Peru, at mid to high elevations. Little is published on its ecology beyond the description.
