Bulbillomyces farinosus (Bres.) Jülich, 1974 (a resupinate fungus)

Notes (MWS) A small "whitewash" fungus of damp fallen wood of broadleaved trees in periodically flooded places in lake- and streamside woods. It is usually found in the asexual form (anamorph) as white granules which are water-dispersed, but it also forms basidiospores when conditions are right.
