Day 59: Whodathunk it? Mother Nature has a pierced ear! It only makes sense that she'd keep up with trends, but I was still surprised to see her decked out in fine fashion on a little-used trail in Nisqually State Park. As for the fungal ear, it was not in a position for me conducive to examination of the underside, although it appears to display teeth rather than pores when viewed from this angle. This would suggest Cerrena unicolor, as opposed to Trametes versicolor (Turkey Tail) which has pores in the manner seen on many other species of shelf fungus.
365Caws is now in its 16th year of publication. If I am unable to post daily, I hope readers who love the natural world and fiberarts will seize those days to read the older material. Remember that this has been my journey as well, so you may find errors in my identifications of plants. I have tried to correct them as I discover them. Likewise, I have refined fiberarts techniques and have adjusted recipes, so search by tags to find the most current information. And thank you for following me!
