Angles captured. Three frames — a pink cap and a bright yellow bracket-like surface.

Morphology

A salmon-pink cap 5 cm across, and a bright yellow, lumpy, bracket-like surface on wood nearby. Confirmed on review as one mushroom rather than two.

Habitat & substrate

On and beside decaying wood.

Lookalikes & what rules them out

The pink and the yellow being parts of one fruitbody is not obvious from the frames and was supplied by the photographer. It suggests a fungus whose upper and lower or younger and older surfaces differ sharply in colour.

Notes

Recorded as one entry on the photographer's account of what was in front of him.

Found at Massasoit Rd area, Worcester, MA on Wednesday, 12 August 2026 at 18:41. See the full walk for that day's weather and everything else recorded.
