March's Fungus of the Month is the elegant Plicatura crispa. For such a distinctive species, it's a shame we don't have an English name for it yet - why not suggest some ideas? You will find it on dead wood (including standing trunks and fallen twigs) of broadleaved trees, in particular hazel and beech. Usually located in rather humid woodlands.
