Bedena fêkî: 1-3 cm in diameter, black or black-brown, at first rounded, then the fruiting bodies merge into one tuberculate brain-like mass, extending up to 20 cm, adhering to the substrate. The surface is shiny, smooth or wavy-wrinkled, covered with small dots. When dried, they become hard and turn into a black crust covering the substrate. After rains, they can swell again.
Pulp: dark, transparent, gelatinous.

It grows on fallen and dried branches of deciduous and broad-leaved trees, sometimes covering a large area.
Widely distributed throughout the northern hemisphere, including throughout Our Country.
Appears in spring in April-May and, under favorable conditions, grows until late autumn.
Exidia spruce (Exidia pithya) – grows on conifers, fruiting bodies are smooth. Some mycologists believe that spruce exsidia and blackening exsidia are the same species.
Exidia glandular (Exidia glandulosa) – grows only on broad-leaved species (oak, beech, hazel). Fruiting bodies never merge into a common mass. Spores in glandular exsidia are slightly larger.
