I was surprised to find this fungus still in place nearly three months later. I've added a photo of the paled but reasonably intact cluster.
This is the first time I saw this. Thank you :)
Yellow fungus, It is the first time i see something like this. Quite interesting :D
Wow - it looks delicious just sitting right there.
Very intense color! Are you going to cook it?
