This one was growing on a dead log, recorded on 12/8/13. My field guide doesn't feature anything like this and i do not have any clue. I don't think this is a species of Fuligo, because I don't find any characteristics of Myxomycetes (slime mould) in your images. Rather I would suggest Basidiomycetes. Anastomosing honeycomb gills and your observation date reminds me of Serpula spp. I think this is Serpula similis (Syn: Merulius similis), usually seen on dead deciduous logs during the monsoon in Bengal. Thank you very much ... for id, for detail. My guess was wild, without any base. References: Myco Bank India Biodiversity Portal inaturalist boldsystems fungimap |
