Thank you MichelBeeckman for helping in identification of this mushroom series. I find mushrooms fascinating and they are wonders of nature but I'm not an expert and appreciate any help I can get. Thanks so much!
This is a Stereum species, rather than a Trametes, because of the non-white hymenium (fertile spore producing layer). My suggestion would be Stereum ostrea or something very closely related. Beautiful photos, though :)
Thanks Gilma Jeannette Ospino Ferreira-Norman for the comment.
Love that 4th picture. Even though they are common it is nice to find them. Thank you for sharing, mary.gallo.m.
