RHH's photos with the keyword: shelf

This shelf fungus, the Red-banded Polypore, Fomitopsis pinicola, is very common in our northwest forests, and when out on a summer morning we often find them "sweating" - covered with drops of moisture even though there has been no dew or rain. This example of a "sweating" Polypore was photographed on the Lake Serene trail.

This is one of the shelf fungi often found growing on dead trees or fallen trees.

Photographed in Washington Park on the same day we found the white Fairy Slipper. I enjoy the colors and forms of the different fungi that are so common in the forests here. This is almost certainly the Turkey Tail Shelf Fungus, Trametes versicolor. ronaldhanko-orchidhunter.blogspot.com/2012/05/spring-in-w...
