Shelf fungus on tree by chocolate lily corner.
On the other side of same tree as above, visible from trail.
Found this rosy gilled polypore.
The "rosy gilled polypore" refers to Gloeophyllum sepiarium, also known as the Rusty Gilled Polypore, a common, leathery shelf fungus with distinctive rusty-orange to brown, maze-like gills (not true pores) on its underside, growing on dead conifers and lumber, and is inedible but recognized by its bright orange-banded cap and wood-decaying nature.
From the other side of the branch.
Underside.
This one fell off the base.
Maybe it was too dry all summer.
This was the fungus a year ago in January 2025.
