Here is the second photo of this lovely fungi. Here you see a large group of fungi growing on a dead tree. The fungi are at different stages. There were too many to get all in the frame. I hope I have it from the best side;) There were about 25 -40 growing on this dead tree stump.
You can find the previous post HERE
Auricularia polytricha it has been re-named to Auricularia cornea(new ID thanks to Fungiman)- Also known as wood ear or ear fungus, or Jew's ear.
Normally found on dead wood, or on dead parts of living trees. It forms flabby cup or ear-shaped brackets of a dull grey-brown colour, becoming a blue-grey colour as they age.
I used my high tech 4 ply tissue diffuser and a flash as there wasn't enough light to get a good shot of all the fungi.
PP. Paintshop to re-size frame and add scribble for TN. |

I can see it all better now - the dead tree is still upright on a lean, and the ears are growing along it. This is good Sue. Very intereating and informative. Thank you.
Woooow Sue!
What an amazing photo! Just wonderful. I never saw something like that!
I wonder if this means that some of my Auricularia have the wrong names. I've posted a few under the name Auricularia ploytricha that look a bit like this....
curiouser and curiouser....
