Extract from Wikipedia article: Crepidotus variabilis is a species of saprophytic fungi in the family Crepidotaceae. It is commonly known as a variable oysterling in the United Kingdom and is seen there in autumn. May occur solitary, but more often in small scattered groups from summer to autumn on twigs and other woody debris of broad-leaved trees. Very common but often confused with Crepidotus cesatii.
Crepidotus variabilis is a small to medium-sized fungus with a fan-shaped or semicircular cap, typically 1-4 cm in diameter, and a wavy or lobed margin. It has a whitish to pale brown cap surface and a white to light brown spore print. The stem is usually absent or very short. In St. Petersburg, Leningrad Oblast, and north-western Russia, Crepidotus variabilis grows on dead wood, particularly deciduous trees, from summer to autumn. It is considered a relatively rare species in the region, but can be found in moist, wooded areas with abundant decaying wood.
