    Action: changed name from "Daldinia grandis" to "Exidia sp. "

    Reviewer's comments:
         "Daldinia grandis (=Hypoxylon thouarsianum)forms a hemispherical stroma which is hard and black. This appears to be a jelly fungus, most likely Exidia glandulosa though it's hard to say without looking at microscopic characters."
