Daire,
The leather you have on a tooth pick from Greg may be a Mushroom Leather from the Solomon Islands, the polyps extend to around 1/2 inch or more, it is a beautiful specimen. I got one at a meeting last winter from Greg, it was small and mounted on a tooth pick it's got a lot of growing to do but it's coming along nicely. I posted this picture but here it is again, Clowns love it, Greg said they would.
