About Exidia repanda Fr.
Exidia repanda Fr. produces firm, button-shaped gelatinous fruit bodies that are reddish brown and measure approximately 3 cm across. These fruit bodies usually grow in groups but do not typically grow together into a single mass. The upper spore-bearing surface is smooth and shiny, while the lower undersurface is smooth and matte. Each fruit body attaches to its growing substrate at a single point and lacks a stem. The spore print of this species is white. Exidia repanda is a wood-rotting fungus that most often grows on dead, still-attached birch twigs and branches. It is widely distributed across Europe, and has also been recorded in North America and Japan.
