Radiant varicose vein - (Phlebia radiata) - Autumn arboreal mushroom, found in the Silesian Park on larch. The fungus has no special properties, except that it looks phenomenal, especially after rain. It can sometimes be found on wet coniferous branches or fallen trees in damp forests. He lives very briefly. Without sufficient moisture, it dies even after 24 hours and ceases to be attractive in terms of image.
The mushroom does not produce a hat, its thickness is difficult to determine, because it is not known how long to measure it, but let's assume that this specimen was about 10-15 mm. Young fruiting bodies are light pink, orange-red, ocher-yellow, fading over time.
The flesh is loosely attached to the substrate, sometimes with a protruding edge on which there are nodules. The surface of the mushroom is wrinkled.
The mushroom has no visible stem. Inedible, but it is more due to the lack of flavor than toxic and poisonous ingredients.
