Oyster Fungus – Pleurotus ostreatus.
Sunrise: 04.46 Sunset: 09.35
This is fresh Oyster Fungus growing on a dead birch tree in Hoo Woo. They begin to look a little tired within a few hours of appearing. I photographed these last night, and this morning they were already losing their vibrancy.
Pleurotus means “side ear”.
What a lovely specimen.
