Birch Bracket Fungus
Birch Bracket Fungus / piptoporus betulinus. Morley, Derbyshire. 07/10/20.
'TWO OF A KIND.'
By standing astride this rotting Silver Birch branch, I had a unique opportunity to photograph the two fruiting bodies from directly above. Because the branch was lying horizontally on the woodland floor, the plane of their emergence had been disorientated. They project outwards, left and right so that their undersides are still parallel to the ground. For this to happen they must have emerged when the branch was already lying in this position.
