More Fungi

I spotted these fungi in a nearby woodland. I liked the first one because of the earth tones of the brown leaves, the blues and greens of the stone, and some of the moss on the fungi with the whiter parts of the fungi. The second one made me think of mountains and canyons.

Fungi

I don’t know much about identifying fungi, but after some research I think it’s called a “Violet-toothed Polypore” or maybe it’s a “Turkey Tail” (I did say that my fungus identification skills were somewhat lacking)? If it’s the former the “violet” edge apparently fades with age, so I guess this must be an old one as I can’t see a trace of violet.

Nice looking fungus though – whatever it is.

Is it fungi season again?

I came across this interesting fungus directly opposite one of my favorite eateries: The Patio in Briarcliff Manor. I went with a friend, and we parked in a vacant spot just across from the restaurant. As I got out of the car, I noticed the fungus and thought that it looked interesting – so symetrical.
