This fungus formed a mound-like structure yards from the Albert Road entrance to West Park.
CORRECTION, August 2013. This is NOT a sulfur polypore, but rather the not very similar looking giant polypore.
I was stone cold sober when I made the misidentification.
Pictures of this year’s return of the fungus to be posted soon.
One reply on “Giant, not Sulfur, polypore – West Park”
Ghastly!
And yet I find them fascinating. So many forms, colors, and the ability to grow the world over. Some are massive colonies and can cover hundreds of square feet underground. One, a little colony of purest white, grew through a 1/2 inch hole in the flooring of my chicken coop! Pretty, but it had to go! 😉
