Just a big name for the Red-banded Polypore, a shelf fungus, that we see all the time on our hikes. My wife is fascinated by mushrooms and fungi and rarely misses an opportunity to photograph them. This is her photo, taken last spring on the grounds of the Au Sable Institute near Coupeville on Whidbey Island. The colors of this Polypore were enhanced by the rain which was falling at the time.
