Tinder fungus

in #gems4 years ago

I have passed this place many times. But I have never seen these mushrooms on the tree. He grew up in just a week.
Only a few days ago it was small, but now it is quite solid.
This is a tinder fungus. They grow mainly on trees, occasionally in the ground. The fruiting body of the tinder fungus looks like a round hoof-shaped growth, located in the form of shelves on the trunk of a tree.
They can be of various sizes and colors. There are both soft and hard tinder fungi, as if stiff. Before the invention of matches, people used dried tinder to make fires.
