Thanks very much for your nice words Mustafa,imagine my surprise when i saw it the first time,i only know it from a spotting here in Project Noah and it was from australia,so when i found it i was just astonishing to find it in the other side of the world :)
Very interesting spotting, nice honeycomb pattern under the cap, also the top of the cap is very nice. The color is amazing as well, loved everything about this mushroom.

Congratulations António, this most interesting series has been voted Spotting of the Week:
"Just as plants and animals, fungi can spread through global commercial exchanges and have the potential to become invasive species. Such is the case of the Orange Pore Fungus (Favolaschia calocera), our Spotting of the Week. First described from Madagascar and South East Asia, and then observed in New Zealand in 1969, it was later reported in Australia, China, Kenya, and Reunion Island. In Europe it first appeared in Italy in 1999, and has since been found in several countries including France, Switzerland, the UK, Spain and Portugal. It is now considered an invasive species throughout much of its expanded range, and its spreading is being monitored as it is feared it may displace native fungi species. This spotting was praised for the quality of its documentation, including multiple shots of all aspects of the fungus".

Thanks Maria for your nice words
Nice series with all the different views of the fungus
Thanks Christine for your kind words,its second time i find One ,still very rare arround,but i think he will spread very quickly
Very beautiful!
@Thanks Mark,now iam realy interested in find the ID of the tree where the fungus was growing and iam going also to talk with my friends in the facebook mushrroms groups so we can compared our sittings , so we can gather more info about how they arrive here
@Thanks Amadeus.4 for your nice words
@Thanks Leuba normaly invasive species are bad for the new environement where they arrived,but other"invasions" are "absorved" without major problems(we have some bird invasive species that dont bring any problem) but we never know,the better is to not spread species arround the globe,is more safe for all,but they are beautiful :-)
@Yeah my friend iam the mushroom man,it would be a great cotume for Carnaval :) desgized of a Amanita Muscaria :-)
