Violet-Toothed Polypore

  There was one other nice treat from yesterday. This is at least the third time I've seen Violet-toothed polypore, Trichaptum biforme, which seems like a contradiction in terms. It truly is a polypore (characterized by having lots of pores on the underside. But it appears to have teeth. It's also supposed to be quite common, but not in my experience. Anyway, this is the one we saw yesterday.


This is the most spectcular-looking one I've seen. violet toothed polypore

And as it fades it looks more brown violet toothed polypore

In other news: I worked on things I was supposed to almost all day. Lots of frustration. I did find the master files for the project I needed, but they were somewhat outdated. Worked on getting that sorted out. I'm waiting for responses from a few people for other projects. I walked to the post office.

    Ann- quite striking

    Bean- gotta watch those toothy things. But this one is faking the teeth
