**Xylocoremium flabelliforme (Anamorph Stage)**

* **Mushroom Form**: The mushroom has a more irregular shape compared to its teleomorphic form, with the cap resembling a rounded mass of tissue.
* **Color**: The top of the mushroom is light brown in color, while the stem is darker brown to almost black.
* **Cap Size and Shape**: The cap measures approximately 1 inch (2.5 cm) across at its widest point.
