Did you get any more pics of the dedicated exidia sp. is it part ot the prunus' tree species specific ecosystem? If so what role does it play?

you best address any MTA or TSSE questions to the main man, but exidias are found on many deciduos trees especialy oak (mostly truncorum) and beech (mostly glandulosa)

Rob,

No, both black Exidia's are saprotrophic pioneers living on/of dead cambium and sap wood of branches or thin standing trunks of deciduous trees (mostly oak), which FB's break through the bark when fruiting. They for the greater part fruit in late fall and during winter.

Tony,

When fruiting on oak or beech, E. truncata is sometimes mistaken for Bulgaria inquinans, an ascomycete with black spores, that stick to your fingers and stain them black.
