Polyporus

   This is an over-under shot of Polyporus squamosus, the marginally edible shingle-top polypore. It grows on wood, forming a white rot, usually stumps, of hardwoods like box elder, siberian elm, willow, etc. It is pretty tough to chew, and it can be made more palatable by careful stewing. Man you must be hungry.
