Caps, gills below, no stem & usually on wood [stemless mushrooms & the like]


 

The fruitbodies of most of the species in this group grow from wood, but sometimes that wood may be buried (e.g. dead roots). Some examples of fruitbody attachment are:

 

     Cap roughly semicircular and attached to wood along the cap’s diameter.

     Cap more-or-less circular but tapering to a narrow attachment point.

     Cap on the underside of dead wood and attached by its top.

     Cap like an upside-down cup, with the edge of the cup attached to wood.

I can see some very jagged gill edges, so perhaps a species of Lentinellus - but by no means guaranteed.

There seems to be a hint of brown spores on the gills - so perhaps a Crepidotus, growing from buried wood.
