Jelly tooth or Earpick fungus

The fruit body is jelly-like, tongue-, fan-, spoon- or shell-shaped, attached at the side, and usually a few centimetres across.

The top is finely hairy at first, then almost smooth, faintly granular or suede-like. The colour varies a lot: translucent white, watery grey, grey-brown or brown, sometimes bluish grey and occasionally almost black, even on the same stump.

The cap is 0.5–2.5 cm across, asymmetric, semicircular and often lopsided, with a bristly surface. It's brownish-grey at first, then dark brown to black.

The underside is covered in crowded, soft, translucent spines 1 to 4 mm long, white or greyish, which carry on down the stem.

The spore print is white.

The underside carries cone-shaped spines up to 3 mm long, whitish at first and later creamy-yellowish. This is what sets the earpick fungus apart from its relatives.

The stem is short, attached at the side or off-centre, watery grey or whitish. On flat surfaces it can be longer and more central, and sometimes it's almost absent.

The stem is 3–10 cm tall, very thin (1–2 mm thick), off-centre or lateral, with a hairy, dark brown surface.

The flesh is jelly-like, soft, translucent and watery.

The flesh is thin, leathery and dark, with no distinctive colour changes.

The smell is indistinct.

Faint, nondescript. Not sharp.
