Ceraceomyces eludens
The fruitbody is a sheet-like growth that appears on the underside of dead wood lying on the ground. The surface of the fruitbody has a dense, maze-like wrinkling (a surface technically described as merulioid) in shades of cream to somewhat brownish. Between the fruitbody surface and the dead wood there is a layer with a distinctly different texture. This layer (or subiculum) resembles thickish cobweb. Overall, the fruitbody is rather flimsy, is fairly loosely attached to the wood and has a somewhat waxy consistency.
