Orange Pore Fungus - the multiplier

Orange Pore Fungus (Favolaschia calocera) is one of my favourites. As our NZ Autumn advances, we’re seeing more and more of it growing readily on rotting branches and logs in the forest. Yes, this multiplies alright, yet it’s super tiny. Of the examples in my photo here, the largest would be 5mm diameter maximum. I love taking photos of it when I see it, but it’s always down low, which is hard on my knees.

But like I say - Anything for the shot.
