Red Belted Conk (Fomitopsis pinicola)

I am still fond of dealing with nature photography stuff. Looking for nature objects are one way to appreciate the beauty on this earth as the real art of nature. Whatever it is, can be adopted as the manifestation of the true mother earth. Just like this abandoned toadstools that grow wildly and skipped frequently by our eyes. So, it came to my mind what it is properly called. If we look at its form, it is included sort of toadstool whose form is umbrella-like, and stalk. But, let call them in general name "Mushroom." They rotted quickly, and at one stage became slightly phosphorescent and make them unseen unless we are trying to find them out. I found them when I was on the way to look for another visible object in the bushes. These mushrooms are growing through the crack of rotten wood, they grow freely for certain period. If we look from distance, they have nothing to be proud of, but if we come closer, there was something that made me tempted, especially the color and the way they grow. The cap shows the orange color and white line at the end while the pox cannot make them lost its beauty. This fungus is a polypore that can be commonly found on hard wood. Named after the red belt of colour between the base of the fungus and the layers of growth above, Red Belted Conk (Fomitopsis pinicola) is fairly easy to identify. The cap of the fungus is often more red and might appear to have a slight varnish when young, which develops into a darker and woodier texture as the fungus matures.
