polyporus umbellatus
The Umbrella Polypore looks like a little umbrella on the forest floor! Its unique shape and texture make it fun to find during a nature walk.
生息地: Forests, particularly near decaying wood and trees.
The Umbrella Polypore has many small, grayish-brown caps, often fan-shaped and overlapping, that emerge from branched stalks. Its clustered appearance resembles a large, bushy cauliflower or many small umbrellas growing from a central stem. It's distinctly large and multi-capped compared to most mushrooms.
