These are fascinating for their ability to shrink up and revive with moisture. I rehydrated my collection in a humidity chamber and the fruits expanded at least 3x and opened up. These are really more Cyphelloid than pleurotoid, at least in that respect, functioning much like cups in that way.

I didn’t even notice the mature tube slimes beside the immature ones when taking the photos so I apologize that I don’t have up close ups of them. Found on a dead log in a coniferous forest, along a disturbed trail. When I touched it, it oozed slime.

Mild smell and metallic taste.
