Desiccated fruitbodies

[David Humphries]

Even pretty well desicated fungi, can usually be identified via it's host & situation.

 

Useful exercise to consider looking at these fung when there not at their prime, as this is usualy when we come across them.

Helps expand the identification skills.

 

 

Here from a short walk around Burnham earlier today;

 

Chicken of the Woods - Laetiporus sulphureus, on an old dead Oak pollard.
