Horsehoof fungus

[Geuf]

I thought I'd share some pictures I made last month whilst walking. I've never seen fungi this big. Are those common sizes in the UK?

cheers!

woah mossive! what tree are they on?

I'm not sure I'd say it's common to find 'em that big, but it's not particularly unusual either, at least in my experience.

it's a bit unusual to find so many that size at the same time-that looks like a willow? thats normally the species I find them on, often that size but never so many.

I've never seen any that big in Norfolk.

This is about as big as they get in "my" wood.

I live in the northern USA. They will get very large indeed, but usually are maybe 4 to 5 inches wide. I have seen them 12-inches and though unusual are not exceedingly rare either.

Hell's teeth! Have never come across 'em this large. Must have come off a mighty large hoss!
