fungi finds...today...24/09/09
In the woods this morning..... the first is a bracket fungus, with a distinctly purple cast to the edges...and I don't see anything in my NE America/Canada Barron book on Fungi that looks like this...any help in ID would be greatly appreciated.
The second fungus is a Birch Polypore... Piptoporus betulinus which is commonly found (of course...) on dead birches...and I think it is programmed by the light/sun to grow horizontally to the ground., and thus at right angles to the tree trunk. I found this one today...on a downed tree...and the new fungus is still horizontal to the ground...but in line with the trunk.
Funny what interests a person... I found this VERY interesting. !
( maybe I should get out more....out of the woods !!! NO ! )
