## Description[edit]

The cuplike to convex fruit bodies of the fungus are 0.2 to 0.6 cm (0.1 to 0.2 in) in diameter, and grayish-blue to grayish-black in color. The dry cap surface is covered with small, fine hairs. The mushrooms have no stem, and have a firm but gelatinous flesh. The mushrooms produce a white spore print.[3]

## Habitat and distribution[edit]

The fungus is saprobic, and grows on decaying wood.[4] It is widely distributed in North America,[3] Europe, and Australia.[5]
