Cinnabar Polypore in Bloom

 Dave showed us a beautiful Cinnabar Polypore (Pycnoporus cinnabarinus) in his July 30, 2010 post, and I found it interesting that this 'schroom is blooming this late in the season. These were on dead cherry logs in a pasture west of State College, and I took the photos in the rain this morning. Too bad they are not good edibles!

Yeah, too bad they aren't edible.  But they are easy to spot and add a little color, even on a rainy day.  And they serve as a reminder that we should be wearing some orange while out in the woods during hunting season.
