Smoked oysterling
Resupinatus applicatus
A species of Grey oysterling.
The diminutive smoked oysterling fruiting body can be found growing on decaying wood and may present as either cup-shaped or convex. The genus name Rasupinatus is a Latin derivation meaning 'turned over' or 'bent backward.' Concurrently, Applicatus translates to 'close to' or 'near,' likely due to the smoked oysterling's stemless nature and its tight proximity to the wood.
