It was so weird looking I had to stop.
And large, it was at least a foot tall (0.3 Meters).
My brief attempt to identify it took me down many paths but rather than get sidetracked with that, I’ll say it is a fungus growing on a fallen log in a pine forest.
Gorgeous fungus!
I had really thought of it being attractive, but I guess in its own way it is.
Absolutely! I’m a fungi fan from way back 🙂 As a teenager I used to take a notebook and coloured pencils with me and draw the fungi that I found in our bush. There was an incredible range of colours, and to some extent, of shapes.
Wow, quite the fungus! I enjoy photographing them too but except for a very few, my ID skills are limited.
I wish there had been something to include in the image to show the size. It’s rather overwhelming how many types there are.
What a fungus, surprised to read that it is about 1 feet tall!
I know! I wish there had been something in the frame to show the relative size.
That really is weird! Still got an interesting form.
