Day 4 of the hunt for the Inonotus
obliquus fruiting body.
8/18/08
Pisgah Woods
Checking dead birch with peeling bark.
Here part of the bark fell off and there is some yellow fungus on trunk.
Slime?
Close-up of slime. Could be Dog-vomit
Slime?
Taking more bark off, I discover a large
beetle about 1.5" long.
And a slug with distinct coloration.
