On dead wood lying on the ground in a suburban garden. The main photo shows what would have been a number of separate fruit bodies that, in some cases, have grown enough to start merging with their neighbours. In the second photo, as well as the scale bar, I have put in an enlargement of the area within the small white rectangle. The enlargement is in black and white because I wish to emphasize the cracking. Certainly, fruit bodies of other corticiod genera (but by no means all) may crack to some degree in dry conditions but a number of Peniophora species seem to do it to excess!
