Fungus This large fungus was growing on the ground in a mixed forest (mostly oak, pine, birch). The entire fruiting body was at least 20 cm wide and looked like it had different tiers/levels. The nearest tree (oak) was about 15 feet away. The undersurface had really cool teeth/spines, which bruised a brownish red color. <br /> <br /> I don&#039;t have an ID for this fungus, but I think that it is either Mycorrhaphium sp. or Phellodon sp. <br /> <br /> <figure class="photo"><a href="https://www.jungledragon.com/image/60207/fungus.html" title="Fungus"><img src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/media.jungledragon.com/images/3232/60207_thumb.jpg?AWSAccessKeyId=05GMT0V3GWVNE7GGM1R2&Expires=1759968010&Signature=slLp%2BJg0I3vXrKGM5v30J6pqX0U%3D" width="200" height="154" alt="Fungus This large fungus was growing on the ground in a mixed forest (mostly oak, pine, birch).
