Visual Description
Specimens of Amorphinopsis fenestrata (as captured in museum-image records) are typically preserved as thick, irregular encrusting mats/plates forming lumpy, foliaceous patches on a substrate. The surface appears coarsely textured and uneven, with wrinkled lobes and, in some views, small pore/opening-like areas. Preserved coloration is generally dark brown to blackish (with occasional lighter patches). Clear, intact branching architecture and oscula are not consistently identifiable in the sampled views.
