      I thought so too and have never seen 3 caps fused and growing as one like this before. Definitely weird. Posted 6 years ago

The Shiny Cinnamon Polypore

A little vase-shaped polypore, recognized by its silky, cinnamon cap. It is frequently found in moss along trails. When fresh, the cap surface has a sheen and is delicately zoned with concentric bands of cinnamon brown. The flesh is tough and leathery, and when sliced open is rusty brown or even orange.
