Basidiomycota
10-15 cm long, found on a fallen log, red with swirls,
Secondary Tropical Rainforest
after raining
I believe this is a Pycnoporus species displaying gravitropism where the bracket has grown on a standing tree, then the tree has fallen and so the fungus has grown out perpendicular to it's original direction in response to the rotation of gravity.
