I was hungry when I saw this fungus sprouting off a tree trunk: all I could think of was pancakes.
From the other side and a bit higher up, imagine a drizzle of amber colored maple syrup as you ponder the pine needle stabbing the biggest cake.
Pancake Fungus
Looks real tasty!
Looks like oyster mushrooms.
Thanks, Steve. I’ve just looked that up and it looks that way to me, too.
Very nice, Ellen! I enjoy photographing these, though I’ve never seen any in such fine shape before.
Thanks, Belinda! It was neat to be able to walk around the tree to maximize the light. Most interesting fungus I see are on trees standing in water with limited access.
Even nicer then!
Yum… I was just dreaming this evening about how delicious pancakes and maple syrup would be!
🙂
Very nice find!!
Thanks, Donna!
