| The Marble Cap is also commonly called Elm Oyster. It has a 5-15 cm wide, convex to flat, off-white to yellow cap. This Cap may appear cracked with age. The stem is commonly 5-10 cm high by 1-2 cm thick, and coloured the same as the cap. It is sometimes hairy or tapering outward at the base. The Marble Cap habits deciduous trees with a fondness of Elm, Poplar and Sugar Maple trees. They tend to grow high up on the trees and are commonly mistaken as the common Oyster Mushroom. |
