What is this?

Aye Up,

I happened across one of these last year, imaged it and then deleted the image accidentally.

This year it's taken me quite a bit of searching but I finally found some at a different location (last years didn't re emerge).

I'm hoping that it is a very rare, amazing-powers-giving foodstuff (like that which deer secretly eat 'cos I ain't having it that they become so powerful just eating moss etc! )

Looks like Yellow Stagshorn fungus.http://www.britmycolsoc.org.uk/mycology/have-you-seen-this-fungus/yellow-stagshorn/

Is it a yellow staghorn fungus, perhaps?

Aye Up,

Nice one Osprey - that's the one. :You_Rock_ Fancy it being called Stagshorn too after my quip!

I've just read up on it - not so rare then, quite common in fact, even if not in my neck of the woods.

Nowt about the super powers bit though.

Aye Up,

And SaraR

It's funny, I saw what might be the start of one of those last week and thought. "Who would bother bringing bright yellow paint into the forest?"
