Spongy bracket fungus

Spongy bracket fungus

Large, unidentified bracket fungus growing near the base of an old oak tree. Its edge looked like a sponge and seemed to be exuding a clear viscous liquid.

I didn’t test to see if it had a sponge-like consistency.

UPDATE – now identified as the weeping polypore, also known as the oak bracket or as the warted oak polypore (Inonotus dryadeus).
