Trametes velutina

Description:

Also known as T. pubescensOne of my specimens still attached to its host log. It was one of a troop of brackets that were growing in a horizonal line along the underside of the fallen log. I joined the Queensland Mycological Society this year (2012) and I have begun collecting specimens of fungi to give to the Qld Herbarium for further study. These are some of my very first specimens and attempts at photographing them in the field and at home. BTW, fungi are protected and you need a special permit to be able to collect them.
