The top surface of the cap, which had almost completely been "scraped off".

Inspired by David's unidentifiable beetles, one of the most common fungi consuming species, Mycetophagus quadripustulatus (what's in a name : I like munching fungi and have four (orange) pustules ), is presented, this time living in/on a bracket of Daedaleopsis confragosa, fruiting on the trunk of a fallen birch.
