Split Porecrust - Schizopora paradoxa
An annual resupinate corticoid with tooth like projections on the cream-coloured fertile surface. It is very variable.
Toothed porecrust (Basidioradulum radula) and other dentate corticoids are very similar, and microscopic examination may be needed to separate them.
