Came across this down here in Totnes yesterday. on rotten hazel log.
I'm a bit clueless regarding crusts/resupinates.
at 50x mag it appears to have teeth?
Any ideas or do I need serious microscopy.?

Re: crust on hazel
Hi,
Don't take this as being a certainty, as I'm not very good with crusts either - but to me, this has the general look of Schizopora paradoxa - Split Crust.
Basidioradulum radula - Toothed Crust looks quite similar too, (but I think that one often has teeth more akin to Hedgehog Fungus).
I think microscopy would be needed to be anything like sure.
Regards,
Mike.

Common sense is not so common.

I had a look at the edges with a hand lens and there they look more like pores.
Pretty sure now it is Schizopora paradoxa.
Thanks Mike
