Polyporales: A Fascinating World of Fungi Dyers Mazegill (Phaeolus schweinitzii) in Hampshire, England, UK, September. This vibrant mushroom displays a maze-like pattern and is known for its ability to produce various shades of yellow. A Red squirrel (Sciurus vulgaris) finds solace sitting on Chicken of the Woods fungus (Laetiporus). These bright orange brackets are not only visually striking but also serve as a food source for many forest dwellers. Sulphur Polypore or Chicken Mushroom (Laetiporus sulphureus) thrives in Coeur d Alene National Forest, Idaho, USA. Its vivid yellow color resembles that of sulphur and adds a burst of vibrancy to the forest landscape. The Red banded polypore (Fomitopsis pinicola) clings onto a tree trunk in the protected forests near Steinhausen, Baden-Wuerttemberg, Germany. Its distinctive red bands make it easily recognizable among other fungi species. In Hainich National Park, Thuringia, Germany, True Tinder Polypore fungi (Fomes fomentarius) find their home on dead Common Beech or European Beech trees. These mushrooms have been historically used as tinder for starting fires due to their flammable properties. Turkey Tail fungus (Trametes versicolor) adorns the trunk of a beech tree in Thuringia, Germany. With its colorful concentric rings resembling turkey feathers, this polypore adds an artistic touch to nature's canvas. Benzoin Bracket fungus (Ischnoderma benzoinum), found in Tyrol Austria showcases beautiful shades of brown and white patterns on its surface, and is often seen growing on decaying wood logs. Another sighting of the Red Banded Polypore (Fomitopsis pinicola), this time captured within Hainich National Park, Thuringia, Germany.
