Grappling with a few harder-to-find-info-on fungi last night, including this polypore - Aurantiporus fissilis, the greasy bracket:It’s an irregular, soft, rounded bracket that smells mushroomy. Pores are large enough to be easily visible with the naked eye and the upper surface has a distinctive, rough texture. It starts off white, but yellows with age. It grows on dead wood, but often (as here) emerges from the dead wood of a wound on a living tree. -- source link
