I always say these types of fungi are elephant ear because, obviously, I am not very knowledgeable when it comes to fungus among us. I see now the beautiful colors reminiscent of a turkey feather and I thank you. Now, I must google all these birch because I want to know the differences. I love birch and I am only familiar with the easily recognized paper bark but I am fortunate to now own a wonderfully wild lake property and I want to know every inch of it and plant on it. I have a feeling some other types of birch are growing there so again, thank you.Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07694829333592209275noreply@blogger.com
