Proliferodiscus pulveraceus

The fruitbody consists of a shallowly cup-like apex atop a short stem. The cup may be up to a millimetre in diameter. The upper surface of the shallow cup is smooth and greyish-yellow. The rest of the fruitbody bears a dense covering of very short hairs, that give an impression of a furry or granular, greyish to bluish grey coating.    

 

Frutibodies often grow in groups and more than one cup may grow from the one stem. Sometimes a new cup grows from the margin or surface of an older one.

 

The fruitbodies are found on dead wood.

 

Look-alikes

There are a number of similarly small, greyish-haired, cup-like species. This is probably fairly distinctive if seen with cups growing on cups, but there is still much to be learnt about such small cup fungi in Australia.   

Proliferodiscus pulveraceus is listed in the following regions:

Canberra & Southern Tablelands
