Top and underside of this beautiful fungus.
Gilled Polypore (Trametes betulina)
Gilled polypore is a widespread bracket or shelf fungus which grows on dead hardwood trees and aids in their decomposition.
The underside of this one.
The irregular "gills" on its undersurface are really just elongated pores, but nevertheless help to differentiate it from turkey tail (T. versicolor), which can bear a resemblance when viewed from above, but has typical pores underneath.
