Hello,
yepp, this is Ptychogaster albidus again.
I have fotos of the anamorph, which is quite common in most areas with conifer wood, but I have no foto of the teleomorph. The perfect stage (teleomorph) is a polypore quite similar to Oligoporus stypticus (= SPongiporus st. = Postia st. = Tyromyces st.). It is very very rare and I have never come across it and I have never met one who has come across it ...
But be careful, it might happen that another species of Oligoporus-Spongiporus-Postia in perfect stage occurs on the very same trunc as the imperfect Ptychogaster - and they still don't belong together! In my area often Spongiporus guttulatus and Ptychogaster albidus grow on the same trunc. But they do not belong to each other! Spongiporus guttulatus is said to have no anamorph, but last year I found it! It is new to science that this species also has a Ptychogaster-anamorph! And as Sp. guttulatus has in young stage rose coloured margin, it was not surprising that the Ptychogaster-anamorph also is rose coloured! Here is a picture of this, were you can see the rose coloured Ptychogaster and the (old) teleomorph Spongiporus guttulatus.
best regards,
Andreas
