Noe, that's really cool, is that you? Any way it's phaeolus schweinitzii commonly known as velvet-top fungus.

I have added a new photo to have a reference of the size of the fungi

Emma although I have not very much idea about fungi I think the best places to see them are forest with a high humidity. Near my city the best season to see fungi is autumn, after raining days.

Gina I think that the second one is closer to this species. This afternoon I can add other pic of this fungi with a friend's head in a side, to show you the size of it

Noe, this one really a puzzle game for me, its can be a false turkey tail mushroom or a mature Sulphur Polypore.

In my quest and search for mushrooms and fungi , I hope i come across such specimens! Which is a good place to find mushroom and fungi?
I got lucky with Lichen. Lichen ,I read indicates good quality of air.

Thanks for the suggestion, Emma. Because of the perspective of the photo is difficult to see the size, but It is not a Lichen. It is a large fungi in a tree trunk.

Are you into Lichens yet? This looks like an orange Lichen.
