here’s a quick little field sketch from the top of fremont peak in california! thank you all for the nice comments and new followers!
This past fall I came across these mushrooms on a eucalyptus tree. Knowing nothing about fungi and little about plants in central CA, I took down as many notes as I could, and later identified it as sulfur shelf mushrooms, or “chicken of the woods,” a common edible! Turns out the “decayed” part of the tree was where the fungus was digesting it.
