Mossy Maze Polypore
I found what I believe to be Cerrena unicolor, otherwise known as Mossy Maze Polypore, in the woods behind Carleton Place (near the Seahawk villages). This species of fungi thrives on wood decay and the dead tree was consumed by the fungi which lead to white rot causing the wood to become soft and damp. The most interesting relationship this species has with its environment is its interaction with a type of wood-boring wasp. The spores are carried with the wasp's eggs and the fungi germinates.
