Spotting

Description:

Shelf mushroom of unknown type, growing on a Kentucky red bud. The mushroom is hard bodied and dry. You can see the inner coloring at the front where a small portion of the mushroom has been removed.

Habitat:

Trunk of a Kentucky Red Bud in our backyard. The weather has been hot and humid, with slight rain in the las few hours.

Notes:

The really interesting thing is the blade of grass growing right through the middle of the mushroom from below. This stuff must be really fast growing.
