Panus conchatus...




commonly known as Lilac Oysterling. This mushroom is a wood loving saprophyte, but unlike its succulent (and super delish) relative Pleurotus ostreatus, Panus conchatus is much tougher in texture and isn't an edible mushroom...but remains a valuable asset to the environment, nonetheless. The colors aren’t this vivid in nature but I thought it would be fun to exaggerate them
