this is my contribution to fungifriday by 
with the snow covering the ground there is not much point in looking for terrestial fungi. but all is not lost for those addicted to searching for mushrooms in the dead of winter. there are always scattered aboreal ones growing year round on dead or dying trees .
that gray thing is not a fungi. i didn't notice my hat that fell off when i was bending over trying to photograph the underside of these.
a close up of the little guy protected underneath the big ones in the photo above. without the snow it is easier to identify. i believe these are all Ganoderma applanatum (Ganoderma applanatum) . they are quite cool to draw on and last for years. i will try to harvest a couple of these later on
but not this one they will have to be all pristine white to make a good drawing
for a minute there it looked like this snow covered log had a erection or sorts
so i brushed off the snow to get a better look at his junk
turns out that conk looked more like a young Fomitopsis pinicola or red belt fungus. there were more mature ones around but i don't recall seing one like this before
i am not sure what this one is
but i am pretty sure this is a Fomes_fomentarius or tinder fungus. they are common enough. they really are a good source of tinder. if you can make sparks and catch one with the dry pulp of this fungus, it will start smoking and will ignite if you blow on it.
