Leathery Grapefern (Sceptridium multifidum)Observer
smmckeeDescription
Because S. multifidum is listed as “endangered” in Ohio, Sceptridiums are confusing, and S. multifidum is variable, here is my reasoning for the ID– note the large, robust, broadly triangular, highly divided blade with relatively short, blunt, fairly uniform segments; the nearly entire margins and the blade remaining green (not bronzed).

Help appreciated!
iNat is guessing all over the place. I chose a taxon where the top suggestions meet - just for a starting place.
I'm also quite curious about the little pinkish/ orangeish blobs (best seen in photo 1). I didn't see them well at the time, and now I wonder if they're part of the fungus or some kind of larvae...
Update: went back the next day and took more photos. The blobs didn't move, so I assume that they're part of the fungus.

Interesting the way this had broken out in patches.
iNat wqas pretty sure Rigidoporus for the first photo and had various suggestions for the others. One frequent suggestion was Northern Tooth.
I decided to stay where the various suggestions meet. Could still be wrong.
Help appreciated.

iNat has various guesses. They all come back to this. I don't know enough about fungi to sort it out.

Accepted iNat's pretty sure because I didn't know and it looked reasonable.
I'm not certain that these are all the same species. They were all growing on the same log.
Help appreciated.
