Nectria cinnabarina, 'Coral Spot'

26 Oct 2009 186
This, narrow-trunked Aspen tree, growing down at Bebo Grove in Fish Creek Park, was covered in this amazing Red Tree Brain fungus. At least, that is what I assume it is - it looks very rounded and smooth, unlike what I usually see (i.e. tiny, wrinkled, brain-like fungi). Wish I'd noticed the fine string of sparkling water droplets on spider web when I was taking the photo - would have concentrated on that afterwards. Later: many thanks to Art (LeapFrog!) and Doug (dougwaylett) for the correct ID, Nectria cinnabarina 'Coral Spot'. Much appreciated.
