Tree Brains From Outer Space

[K9Kirk]

I spotted these growing about 10 feet up a tree this morning.
Shot with my Canon 70-200 and a crappy, old Canon T6.

OK, must just be the shooting angle that makes them look eye level, for me anyhow.

Thats what I thought but thats the color. First one I've seen that vibrant, most are dull.

Yeah, I'm quite smart. Too smart for some you might say and myself at times too.😃

Thanks, Lez. IKR! Neither have I. Here's a line from an article on oak fungus that I copied: "The fleshy, moist conks produced by this fungus range from 2 to 12 inches wide, and are bright orange-yellow on the upper surface and red-yellow on the underside."

If you or anyone else is interested, here's the article:

Yellow Fungus on an Oak Tree

Oak trees are part of the Quercus genus, which contains more than 450 species of plants...
