this is my contribution to #fungifriday by @ewkaw
back in the north here we are accustomed to seeing fungi quickly decay as they age but that is not what happens everywhere.
in some climates they dry out
revealing interesting patterns
mostly on the underside
these are polypores
i am not sure of their exact identity
obviously not edible but they are quite attractive in their own way
i took all of these photos in own indian garden during the dry season.
but the fungi grow during the monsoon
this one looks a little rusty
