Description: Xylobolus frustulatus - the ceramic fungus. It forms a crust on debarked oak, digesting lignin and cellulose, leaving a honeycomb pattern of decay. Normally seen running along the surface of a log, I thought this growth was particularly striking along the cut face of a felled tree. Found in the Delaware River Gap National Park last summer.
