It sounds kind of exotic, but the reality is this fungus is dead common and I can vouch for the fact that it is alive and well enjoying life in the bowl of the quarry. Growing up the flank of this old tree, the fungi almost appeared to be providing steps along its limbs. Take a look and see for yourself.

Beautifully captured Mick! Almost coral-like in that final photo.

Thanks, I enjoyed trying different angles to capture them and was especially trying to get a layered effect and an impression of stairs. 😃

What a great find and fun to photograph. Polypores…edible?
The last picture looks like a flamenco dancer’s dress, all the different layers of it. Very cool.

I hadn’t been in the quarry for a long time so went in with The Hound. On noting the Fungi I returned the next fine day armed with a camera to capture the beauty I had seen. Glad you seem to think that I have done it justice. MM 🍀 (do not believe they are edible but am no expert)
