Description
The fungus forms slimy or sticky club-shaped fruit bodies up to 3 cm (1+1⁄8 in) high with a cinnamon to reddish-brown "head" that measures 7–12 mm (1⁄4–1⁄2 in) atop a similarly coloured stalk that is 2–3 cm (3⁄4–1+1⁄8 in) by 1–2 mm thick. Its cylindrical spores measure 35–45 by 2 μm; arranged in a parallel fashion, they are borne in asci that measure 105–120 by 10–12 μm. The paraphyses are curled at their tips. Cudonia circinans is similar in appearance, but its stalk is not the same color as its head.
Range & habitat
Cudonia confusa is found in Asia (China and Korea) and Europe, where it usually grows in tufts in coniferous forests.
