🎞️ #3391-10

The image shows a close-up of the underside of an Odontoid corticioid mushroom called Steccherinum ochraceum growing on a fallen stick. This is shown by its small size, tan to orange color, and texture.

Steccherinum ochraceum, also known as the "Ochre Cort" or "Orange Tooth," has a distinctive appearance with a smooth, white-to-ochre-colored cap that ranges in diameter from 1/2 inch (13 mm) to 4 inches (100 mm). The gills are crowded and decurrent on the stem, which is 1/8 to 3/16 inch (3 to 5 mm) thick. The spores are yellowish-brown to brown, roughly spherical, smooth, and measure approximately 2-4 micrometers in diameter.

Steccherinum ochraceum grows solitary or scattered on decaying wood of deciduous trees. It is found in North America, Europe, Asia, Africa, South America, Australia, New Zealand, and the Pacific Islands. It can be found growing at an elevation of up to 10,000 feet (3,048 meters). The mushroom has a strong, sweet odor and is edible but not considered palatable.

The image appears to show Steccherinum ochraceum in its natural habitat, which is on decaying wood. This suggests that the mushroom is growing on a fallen stick or log, possibly in a forested area with plenty of moisture and humidity. The tan-to-orange coloration of the mushroom is consistent with its species classification, and the texture appears to be smooth and slightly velvety. Overall, the image provides a clear view of Steccherinum ochraceum's unique appearance and growth habits.
