(103/365) A backet fungus of some description growing on a hollow rotten tree stump in Doneraile Park. I was kneeling down on a carpet of Wild Garlic plants to take this photo, the smell was quite overpowering!
Fomitopsis betulina (previously Piptoporus betulinus), commonly known as the birch polypore, birch bracket, or razor strop, is a common bracket fungus and, as the name suggests, grows almost exclusively on birch trees. The brackets burst out from the bark of the tree, and these fruit bodies can last for more than a year.
Today I sifted through photos from the first half of 2020 that got passed over. This image was posted to Flickr on Oct. 25, 2020.

In November 2006 the Lehigh Line was still single tracked between CP Bound Brook and CP Potter and four-axle power still ruled on NS 212 and 214. Here we see NS 212 motoring through Piscataway behind a trio of four axles...two B32-8s bracketing a GP60.
NS 212:
NS 3528 B32-8
NS 7107 GP60
BNSF 6322 brings up the rear of the UCHELGS Herzog ballast train, as they dump ballast between French and Levy, NM. Bracketing the power are three former Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe semaphore signals at WSS Colmor. These blades may be from the early 20th century, but they faithfully continue to perform their duty protecting trains on the TWC portion of the Raton Subdivision.

Thank you to everyone who views, faves or comments on my photos, it is always appreciated.
(280/365) I'm fairly sure this is a Southern Bracket fungus "Ganoderma Australe". There were several growing in tiers on a mature Beech tree in the lane behind Kanturk Castle. The fruit body was about 7 inches across & the Ivy leaves are covered in a dusting of brown spores. For 115 pictures in 2015 #63 Fungi
Likely a new dryad's saddle, Polyporus squamosus

It was a beautiful sight like nature's art growing in our old tree stump.
Bracket fungi cause decay and rot in the heartwood of trees and produce bracket-shaped fruiting bodies on the trunk or main branches. These fungi usually lead to the weakening and eventual breakage or fall of affected trees. Source: www.rhs.org.uk/advice/profile?PID=98
Not sure of the ID of this species? Taken at the JFK Arboretum. See photo (2) for close up detail of the underside.
might be a rare Ganoderma carnosum ( Dunkle Lackporling ) growing on Yew
I don`t find Bracket fungi easy to identify and this one is no different !
What was unusual here was the fact it grew on an old Yew tree (in a cemetery) and I this is the first fungus I`ve seen growing on yew. Dorset
Other possibilities could be Beeswax Bracket / Ganoderma pfeifferi ( Kupferroter Lackporling ) ? Or Lacquered Bracket /
Ganoderma lucidum ( Glänzender Lackporling ) ? Or Red-belted Bracket / Fomitopsis pinicola ( Rotrandige Baumschwamm ) ?
On a dead tree stump at the edge of the forest two small intriguingly coloured and textured brackets - which I am unable to identify more accurately.
Trametes versicolor – also known as Coriolus versicolor and Polyporus versicolor – is a common polypore mushroom found throughout the world. Meaning 'of several colours', versicolor reliably describes this fungus that displays different colors. For example, because its shape and multiple colors are similar to those of a wild turkey, T. versicolor is commonly called turkey tail.

The fine bracket semaphore signals for Castleford West Junction on the Normanton line, pictured in October 1994 two years before they were replaced by colour lights. Situated at the western end of Castleford station platforms, they both indicated the same routes, the one on the left, from the normal up direction and, the one on the right from the down platform used mainly to turn back terminating multiple units.
The Signal arms on each of the left-hand dolls were for the Cutsyke branch to Pontefract, whilst the arms on the right-hand dolls were for the main line to Wakefield or Leeds, each with the distant arms for Castleford Gates signalbox below them. The route behind me was a freight only line to Milford Sidings.
A beautiful, bumpy, bokeh bracket seen in the ancient sessile oak and birch woodland of Padley Gorge, in the Peak District's Hope Valley!
