Exidia?

[BROCSMAN]

Could this be an old specimen of Exidia nucleata? I'm not sure what it is growing on, could be elder. If not what is it?

Unless side by side, I find separating E.nucleata from E.thuretiana in the field difficult if you cannot clearly see the white crystals inside.

Even though the 'blob' at the top seems to show a tiny white crystal inside, I'm going to go against my better judgement and say this looks like E.thuretiana to me.

The wood does look like Elder.

There are a couple of spots that look like nodules, but they're not clear enough to be sure. I suspect it's too far past it for certainty.

Thanks for the reply.
