Didn't know what these were for a while. They were pliable, and BIG. Underside white and smooth.
Polyporus badius.
These change appearance pretty dramatically over the course of their lives, very young ones are pale grey with a smooth rounded outline, from a distance they look like oyster mushrooms. They turn a dark reddish brown as they mature.
It's a mushroom blog! I am crazy for wild mushrooms, and all their friends and associates. I go hiking in central Missouri, looking for mushrooms, and find lots of other woodland citizens along the way. Heavy on macro-photography, with bite-sized fact morsels throughout.
