Fungi always fascinates me and I see a lot of different types popping up after the first rains of our wet season. This one is one of the biggest I've ever seen though.

It's stunning. I saw some unusual Fungii growing on fallen logs recently. The logs were used as an edging to stop cars parking on the nearby lawn and were very effective.

Fungi is a fairly common sight around our place when the rains arrive and I mostly spot them around or on tree stumps. Usually they're smaller than this one though.

Wow, that's a beauty BB, could be a type of bracket fungi? I have a tree stump in the garden and all round the base are orange coloured bracket fungi. But it is very cold, 2° and wet here...

I don't know much about fungi at all Janey, so I'm not sure what type it is. I always see a lot of different ones here when the rain arrives.
