Extract from Wikipedia article: Radulomyces confluens is a species of crust fungus in the family Pterulaceae. It was originally described in 1815 by Elias Magnus Fries with the name Thelephora confluens. Danish botanist Mads Peter Christiansen made it the type species of his newly-circumscribed genus Radulomyces in 1960.

Radulomyces confluens is a species of fungus that belongs to the family Pterulaceae. It is characterized by its effused-reflexed to resupinate fruiting body, with a smooth to velvety hymenium and cylindrical to allantoid basidiospores. In East and Central Texas, Radulomyces confluens has been found growing on decaying wood, particularly on hardwoods such as oak and elm, in a variety of habitats including forests, woodland edges, and along streams. The fungus typically fruits in the spring and summer months, producing small to medium-sized patches that can merge to form larger colonies.
Observations of the fungus Radulomyces confluens in East and Central Texas reveal its presence in bamboo forests. On February 28, 2018, in Hensel Park, College Station, Texas, the encrusting fungus was found on leaves, forming a crust-like layer. The fungus was observed to be growing on leaves in a bamboo forest, with a close-up view showing its intricate details. The observations suggest that Radulomyces confluens thrives in the humid environment of bamboo forests, where it can form a dense, encrusting growth on leaf surfaces. The fungus was consistently found in this specific habitat, indicating a possible association between the fungus and the bamboo ecosystem in East and Central Texas. The repeated sightings on the same day and location highlight the prevalence of Radulomyces confluens in this region.
