This fungi I found at the Utrechtse Heuvelrug National Park. I saw a lot of different fungi on that autumn sunday two weeks ago. I'm not an fungi expert, but my guess is that it is some kind of bracket fungus. But if anyone knows the correct ID, please let me know.
Thanks for looking.
Update November 17-th 2007:
Thanks to Harold (gerbilratz) for the correct ID, I could search for information about this fungus on the internet:
Trametes versicolor, often called the "Turkey Tail," has the dubious distinction of being the only member of the forest fungal fowl community not named for the full bird, but a feathery fraction. However, the Chicken of the Woods and the Hen of the Woods look nothing at all like chickens or hens, while the Turkey Tail does look (vaguely) like a turkey's tail.
The Turkey Tail is one of the most common mushrooms in North American woods, found virtually anywhere there are dead hardwood logs and stumps to decompose--and, occasionally, on conifer wood too. Its cap colors are extremely variable, but tend to stay in the buff, brown, cinnamon, and reddish brown range. The mushrooms are strikingly "zonate" with sharply contrasting concentric zones of color, and the surface of the cap is finely fuzzy or velvety. Often the zones represent contrasts in texture as well as color, so that fuzzy zones alternate with smoother ones. |

Excellent shot with great sharpness and details. They are beautiful fungi, with that shape and color and surrounded by moss. A marvellous composition.
Very well done.
