I found several fruiting bodies of the Dog's nose fungus on a Black oak snag. The tree still had a bit of life left in it and had some green leaves. The young fruit bodies of the fungus are enveloped in a tan colored sheath, which opens up and peels away, revealing a black, glossy and moist surface, which is covered in tiny bumps, all in all looking and feeling very much like a dog's nose. My friend with his dog, Tina, was with me. The second and third photos show Tina's cute nose for comparison.
200x and 800x magnifications. Fruiting bodies seemed to only form on the abaxial leaf surface of Quercus bicolor.
