Description
Hohenbuehelia grisea, known as the Shadowy Oysterling, appears in fall in woodland settings. It usually grows directly on decaying hardwood debris, though also has been found on debris including Black Walnut (Juglans nigra) shells. The species name grisea refers to its typical gray coloration.
The cap is thin, gray, and bald, with an inrolled margin when fresh. The tissues are semi-translucent and delicate. Gills are pale gray to cream, wavy, and interspersed with many short gills. It is sessile (directly attached the substrate without a stem) or features a short pseudosteme. The spore print is white.
