I can't see what it is from the picture. On conks if there is a layer of rust-colored dust up top it is (its own) spores. If it's blotchy as in the picture, I don't know what it could be.

thank u, Niwita, i saw that powdery things occurring on some fruiting bodies, but not some others. I'm just wondering if that's a sign of unhealthiness? The rusted-look that you mentioned is actually due to the spores? that's awesome.. the conks can get so fully covered by the "rust powder".

Are those outside? 'Cause it looky likea bird/bat poop - but can't really tell from the pic. Sporing is more like "spray painted" rust colored.

You got me then - I pick wild and have seen a poop on them, but never anything excreted from the top.
What about Alan Rockefeller or one of the TI's in the hunting forum? They see lotta outdoor examples?

Looks like some debris to me, Reishi spores are rusty brown, and they do accumulate on top of the shelf, but more in an even coat of "dust" These look young based on the thickness and color of the margin, so they are too young to sporeulate

I love to trade wedges. Currently looking for a nice brick top and Pleurotus Eunosmus the Tarragon Oyster. I am also getting interested in the agaricus, so if you have a cool agaricus in good genetic condition PM me please
Sterility is a process that can be likened unto infinity, which is a long walk, the closer to the end you start before beginning, the more achievable the goal of infinity becomes. Remember, cleanliness in next to goddessness

Hard to tell from the pic but to me it looks like pieces of whatever substrate it's growing from. Possibly stuck to it as it grew out.

i would agree on some sort of debris or something stuck to the antler as it emerged from the susbtrate it is growing on.

EITHER dirt from substrate, or bacterial splotch.
But it looks more defined/edgy than splotch, so i will go with sub.

No. No, man. Shit, no man. I believe you'd get your ass kicked sayin' somethin' like that man.
