Notes
This toothed fungus' habitat is usually littered with dead needles, and it is usually found growing together with other individuals of the same species. Its lack of gills makes spore prints difficult, leading to very little information of that regard.
Habitat
A very moist moss-covered exposed root underneath a Red Cedar. Environment littered with dead conifer needles and very limited in light exposure.
