Silverleaf is a bracket fungus with a zoned and hairy-looking upper surface. It grows on trees and tree stumps, plum trees for preference. Plum tree leaves change to a silvery colour with an infestation of the fungus.
The furry appearance of the upper surfaces is what I find most striking about the fungus.
It’s been growing on this old stump by the lake in West Park for some years now. The pictures are of recent new growth, taken just before the start of the current cold spell.
