I do not know much about mushrooms but I thought these were pretty cool growing on the side of the tree. Does anyone know what kind they are? Love the vibrant colors!

Those colors! Another example of Mother Nature’s artistic talent. 🙂
that is a Ganoderma genus possibly lucidum species. Known in Japan as Reishi, very medicinal. If you can obtain a fresh growing specimen next fruiting season it can be cultivated by an experienced person. the rather hard polypore fruit body when fresh can remain viable for awhile. Let me know if you get a fresh living specimen I can clone it…

Hi. I am not a mushroom expert, but I believe it is one of the Artist’s Bracket Fungus, maybe a Hemlock Varnish Shelf?
Very cool!! Thank you! There are so many different varieties!
