Fungi Friday: Many Types

#fungifriday is a photo contest hosted by @ewkaw.

In the forest behind the house there is a lot of fungi to check out.

This fungi is called Red Belted Conk and can be found on quite a few trees.





Red Belted Conk has many traditional medicinal uses. To name a few...treat headaches, bowel disorders and to stop bleeding. A tea can be made by boiling slices of the conk.

Not only can it be smoked, it can be used to start a campfire.


Fungi growing on this dead birch tree is called Birch Polypore

I have noticed some fungi, growing on the ground, has little bites taken out of it...perhaps by the squirrels.
