Identificaciones de ethancrenson

Both the new anamorph (asexual) stage and last year’s teleomorph can be seen on this seed pod of the American sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua). In the anamorph stage, the tentacle-like fruiting bodies are covered with a light gray/white layer of asexual spores (conidia). Eventually the white/gray conidia layer will disappear and the fruiting bodies will turn into black strands.
