Spotting

Description:

Bracket polypores. Plumish red in colour, particularly pores beneath. Looks muddy in appearance, but substance exudes from within each bracket through small holes on the surface (photo #5). When the colour is saturated with editing, the 'mud' is red in appearance. Brackets anywhere between 06-12cms in width. A similar spotting I made in Sydney: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/373...

Habitat:

Found on rotting log at Ravensbourne National Park, at an elevation above 500 mtrs. Dense foliage and canopy, mostly native trees that I could see. Lots of leaf litter and quite damp due to recent rains or thick mist.
