Habitat:Wood - Found in deciduous woods, growing on sides of a fallen rotting log. Gills: pores Stem: none Cap: tough thin brown/white Bruising: none Spore print: couldn't produce one or it's white as the paper it was sitting on General location: Pacific Northwest
I agree with you 4ager that this is Turkey tail: Your shots show the white pore surface, which is important to distinguish this from eg. Stereum and other "parchment" fungi. And thank you for noting this is on deciduous, as this is what they like.
Thank you Frog. I always thought these were larger in real life. They are really tiny and much like a butterfly in size. Very pretty.
Agreed - and I like the "butterfly size" visual :-) Like most things they start off small, a typical mature size would be 5-6cm across, and have seen them 10-12 cm across sometimes.
