The Fungi World (157) : Birch Polypore
During my winter hike on the ‘Kalmthoutse Heide’ (one of the greatest National Parks of Belgium), I spotted this Birch Polypore.
The tree on which the fungus grows, was victim of a huge heathland fire last spring.
The white birch bark is totally blackened, but the spores of this fungus survived miraculously well the burning fire, resulting in this remarkable growth !
(in the background one can see clearly still visible traces of the fire)
Dutch name : Berkenzwam
German name : Birkenporling
Latin name : Piptoporus betulinus

I am always amazed that you find mushrooms almost everywhere.This one is certainly not an everyday Fungi.
Looks interesting.
