Shelf Fungi

You might remember that last week I posted a picture of moss on a tree trunk.  This week, I wanted to share this picture of shelf fungi on a tree.  Its also called bracket fungi.  According to some sources, it can be used as a food in dire circumstance???  They will cause the wood to rot from within, so that explains why this tree is dead or maybe they formed after the tree was dead.  I do wonder how old these are.  Click the picture to enlarge it and notice how intricate they are. 

Til Tomorrow,
