some dry fungi

this is my contribution to #fungifriday by @ewkaw

back in the north here we are accustomed to seeing fungi quickly decay as they age but that is not what happens everywhere.

in some climates they dry out

revealing interesting patterns


mostly on the underside


these are polypores


i am not sure of their exact identity


obviously not edible but they are quite attractive in their own way


i took all of these photos in own indian garden during the dry season.


but the fungi grow during the monsoon


this one looks a little rusty

What interesting patterns these mushrooms have, great that you found and photographed these mushrooms dear friend @eolianpariah2
enjoy the weekend

The pictures are lovely
Are you also one of those people who eat mushrooms?

Looks like Daedalea quercina and Sarcodontia pachyodon.

thanks for the feedback. i am quite sure one is some kind of Daedalea but quercina is connected to oak (Quercus sp) and these are on some tropical evergreen logs in india

Interesting specie that Rusty Mushroom :)
