The Asian beauty fungus (Radulomyces copelandii) looks like a white shag carpet growing out of the cracks of tree bark. This crust fungus is often confused with Hericium species (Lion’s Mane, Bear’s Head, and Coral Tooth) because it has hundreds of slender white spines on its surface. From a few feet away, the patch looks like a young lion’s mane mushroom just emerging. There are some key differences, though, that are easy to recognize once you know what to look for.
