A polyphore fungus growing in a large rain-forest tree showing multicolored fruiting bodies. They appear to start red and darken to purple over time.
This one is for Mark. Whenever I see fungi I am reminded how you have become a self taught mycologist last winter.
Thanks for the compliment Martin (I think). One thing I did learn though is check the fertile surface. You'll just have to go back to get another shot. It's only 4000kms :-)
Thank you Celine. I do not recall the tree but there were certainly oak around, as the location was between a town and the rainforest.
Thanks for your suggestion.
hi mate, i think it's a young Amadou, amadouvier or polypore marginé we call it. Nice ones anyway, was it growing on an oak tree?
