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.
