Hi I was wondering is anyone could help me identify this fungus that is on the branch of an oak tree. I know the green ones are a foliate lichen, but the fungus I don't know. This is from a tree in Northern California.
It's very beautiful! Do you know if it is smooth or has pores on the underside? My guess (assuming smooth underside) would be something along the lines of a Hairy Stereum. cheers frog
Hi Frog, Thanks so much for helping me. Yes, smooth undersides. I looked up other pictures of Stereums, and it is probably what I have.
Oh wow...what a gorgeous image! Hopefully when people view this they click to view in FULL! The details are amazing. You should submit this to the 'Botany Photo of the Day' here...
That sure is a nice crisp image. I don't know many fungi names, but sure enjoy taking photos of them. One reason that autumn and winter is my favorite season in the forests.
Thanks so much everyone. I am pleased this is an active board. C.Wick, maybe when I get used to posting I will do that.
