Go for it Carl!

The first picture is from a couple of weeks ago-- A fungus we'd never seen before. It turns out to be a very young Varnished Conc (Ganoderma Lucidum). They are a shelf fungus that will eventually be several inches across. I decided to name it "Carl the Conc" and keep watching as it grows.



The picture below is from Thursday. After just a couple of weeks, the "shelf" has become about 5 times bigger.

Go for it Carl! I'll get another picture in a couple of weeks. Oh yes-- see the tiny little mushroom in the lower right of the newer picture?

Como apenas visito el campo, no puedo apreciar la vista de los preciosos hongos.
Muy buenas fotografías.
