Description

The Little Nest Polypore (Trametes conchifer) is a common decomposer fallen woody debris that can be found from the spring through the fall. This fungus starts out looking like a small white cup growing out of fallen branches and twigs, and later extends to be more "shelf-like" with age, resembling Turkey Tail (Trametes versicolor) with concentric zones of dull colors. It can commonly be found growing on dead or dying Elm (Ulmus sp.). The consistency is tough, and the spore print is white.
