Foraging tips
- Substrate Preference. Focus foraging efforts on dead deciduous wood, especially fallen willow branches and logs. Check the undersides of fallen wood or areas where moisture tends to accumulate.
- Moisture Conditions. This fungus is most conspicuous and easily identified after rain or during periods of high humidity. During dry spells, it will shrink and darken, becoming almost invisible, only to rehydrate and swell with moisture.
- Seasonal Availability. Can be found year-round in suitable climates, but most abundant from late autumn through spring, particularly during mild, wet weather.
