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.

Nah, you just have to be one of the smart ones, like me.

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...
