Fungi or Carving forum................I dunno

[David Humphries]

Carved this naive Heron (sic) out of Beech about 3 years ago.

 

Here it is now having sprouted some winter plummage

 

Not completely sure on the Id, but I'm leaning towards Trametes versicolor " Turkey Tail"

Guess it could be called "Heron Tail" now

Trying to use it in the comic sense Dave, suggesting that the carving is representative of a Heron in my minds eye but in actual fact looks more akin to a clumsy Terradactyl.

Nice carving.

Looks like a Heron to me, nice plumage.

 

Be thinking of inoculating some of my mushroom carvings with mushroom mycelium. Any one tried it?
