I think this is Lobophora, but not sure how to narrow it down from there.
Found in Douglas-fir Western Hemlock forest.
Thanks!

Lobophora
Lobophora – probably either nivigerata or magnoliatoidata. I’ve sent six Lobophora from Port Alberni which looked like yours to the BOLD project at the University of Guelph for DNA analysis. They all came back as 100% matches for both L. nivigerata and L. manogliatoidata! Dick Wilson in Washington State had the same results for his specimens, so unfortunately I don’t think it's possible to go beyond genus at this point.
