Orange-Brown Lacquered Bracket

I went to play a round of golf search for the little white ball in the bush with my brother last week. Next to the second green is a sawed off pine tree stump and it was covered in bracket fungus. I checked my The Wildlife of Southern Africa book and think it a Orange-Brown Lacquered Bracket.
They grow up to 500mm in diameter with a cap of up to 50mm thick. It can be found singular or in groups. When they are young they are corky (which these were) while they get woody -not to be mistaken with the Toy Story cowboy- when they mature.

I only realised today that it was my blogoversary last Thursday. I can’t believe that its been just over a year since I started blogging. Time flies when you are having fun.
