Over the last weeks we had some very nice conditions here in Holland. Not only foggy mornings but also dramatic skies and thunderstorms. This shelf cloud was coming in my hometown Amstelveen just during sunset. I was just in time to go to the open field to witness. A wonderful experience.
Many thanks for your favs and comments. I really appreciate that.
Polypores are a large group of fungi (aka "shelf fungi" or "bracket fungi") that are important decomposers of rotting wood. They are often seen on tree trunks and rotting logs.
I've never noticed "green" bracket fungus until photographing this log at Old Mission Lighthouse Park in northwest Michigan. In researching this phenomenon, I have found many pictures of the "green" bracket fungus, but no classification, or explanation for it.
I think that, because of a lot of rainfall this year and the ensuing constant dampness, green algae has grown on the log surface and extended its growth to the surfaces of the bracket fungus. Whatever the cause, the fungus has presented itself in a very colorful manner.

Nice thunder storm moves in with a gust front producing about a 40 mph wind. Lost power for about 3 hours after lightning struck a power pole very close by.

Laetiporus is a genus of edible mushrooms found throughout much of the world. These shelf mushroom (kippezwam) are most commonly found on wounds of trees, mostly oak, as well as eucalyptus, yew, sweet chestnut, and willow, as well as conifers in some species. Laetiporus species are parasitic and produce brown rot in the host on which they grow.

This was not a storm, it was just a cold front racing over the East Grand Traverse Bay this afternoon pushing the warm air. It was moving so fast and the temp dropped by 10 -15 degrees. It was just amazing to watch!
this wild looking shelf cloud formed over Lake Erie and moved inland over Cleveland Hopkins Airport ....scary looking stuff
Driving across far western Kansas on I-70, we drove under some thunderstorm cells and captured this shot of the associated shelf cloud. Unfortunately I did not have my dslr camera with my wide angle lens along, but this shot turned out OK with my Powershot camera. A dramatic sight indeed!
A shelf cloud ahead of a less than severe storm appears from beyond the trees as it makes its way into STL County, ruining the plans of Saturday grass cutters and baseball players.
Later in the day the next round of storms brought two week tornadoes into the STL area.

Found on a nature walk at the Bluebonnet Swamp Nature Center in Baton Rouge, these Shelf Fungi were thriving!
