Thanks Neil!
I thought this was a marine sponge or similar at first, and am quite shocked to see it's fungus. How amazing! An awesome spotting, Christine, and great photo series
It was gorgeous, and it peeled right off the wood. The underside was smooth and elastic-like - very membranous and awesome!
So envious! This one has been on my bucket list for a while! <3
