Polyporus squamosus (Polyporaceae - Polyporacées)

 

Common name: pheasant-back mushroom.

 

It is a fairly good edible mushroom that must be eaten young, later it becomes hard and can then cause digestive disorders.

 

C'est un assez bon champignon comestible qui doit être consommé jeune, plus tard il devient dur et peut alors causer des troubles digestifs.

Every morning there are different patterns in the ice on my windshield.

I thought these were just water droplets until I turned on my windshield wipers and realized they were frozen. One taken from inside the car, one from outside.

Flickr Lounge ... Weekly Theme ... patters in nature.

Cryosophila roots. While Googling Cryosophila to get some ideas on what I might say about this picture I learned that "Species in the genus can be readily distinguished from related genera by their distinctive downward-pointing spines on the stem, which are actually modified roots. They are known as the "root spine palms". "

 

When trying to frame this photo I intentionally avoided areas where these aerial roots were looking more like a tangle of thorns. Now that I know that this is a distinctive trait of the genus I may need to try to capture that aspect.

HMM-- the theme for today, 7/15, is "patterns in nature" and this is one possibility for posting :)

A very pretty, and chilly, walk this morning.
