Favolaschia calocera

The fruitbody consists of a cap atop an excentric to lateral stem with pores on the underside of the cap. The fruitbody has a fleshy texture, the cap is up to 3 centimetres in diameter and the stem may grow to a few  centimetres long. The whole fruitbody is orange and smooth.

The fruitbodies grow on dead wood and usually appear in large groups.

Look-alikes

This species is quite distinctive.

Bolete-like - but NOT a bolete

Species of Favolaschia and Filoboleteus will be included here because they have bolete-like features - fleshy fruitbody with stem & cap and pores on the underside of the cap. However, technically, they are not boletes and  they are closely related to the agarics (i.e. those species that produce fleshy fruitbodies with gills on the underside of the cap).
