Colourful Fungus - Velvet-Top Fungus

In a previous post where I went for a lunch time walk around where I work, I came across the following fungus growing on an old stump of a Norway Pine (Pinus resinosa).


I have discovered what it is - it is called Velvet-Top Fungus (Phaeolus schweinitzii).



Phew. I'll be able to sleep at night now.

Cheers,
