A pink fungus grows from the dark cut end of a cut log. The fungus is a series of brackets or shelfs that arise from the pink substrate. There’s a sliver of forest and sky visible in the top left.

For #FungiFriday I found this old photo from October 2013. This beautiful pink fungus was seen growing on the end of a cut log by the Woodland Trail in Fall Creek Falls #StatePark near #Spencer #Tennessee. My apps tell me it is probably in the Genus #Fomitopsis…

Wood decay under anoxia by the brown-rot fungus Fomitopsis pinicola - Nature Communications The degradation of dead wood by basidiomycete fungi relies on Fenton chemistry under aerobic conditions. Here, Röllig et al. show that these fungi can also thrive and degrade wood in anoxia, switching...

Characterization and phylogenetic analysis of the complete mitochondrial genome of Fomitopsis palustris (Berk. & M.A. Curtis) Gilb. & Ryvarden, 1985 (Polyporales: Fomitopsidaceae) Fomitopsis palustris (Berk. & M.A. Curtis) Gilb. & Ryvarden, 1985 is a well-known brown-rot basidiomycete. However, the complete mitochondrial genome of F. palustris from China remains uncharacteri...
