  1. Ahem, did you see the bugs? Posted 5 years ago
    1. Ugh, only now! Caddisfly and one larger fly? Posted 5 years ago
      1. I didn't notice the caddisfly! Over on the left (on the fungus), I noticed the fly-like bug and a little to the left of that is a smaller bug. Posted 5 years ago
        1. Yes, I was thinking the small one is a caddisfly, but hard to see. Well spotted in any case! Posted 5 years ago

''Peniophora incarnata'', the rosy crust fungus, is a species of Basidiomycotal fungus in the order Russulales and family Peniophoraceae. It is a resupinate, or crust-like species, that grows on the surface of bark. In Scandinavia it grows on a range of deciduous hosts and less often on coniferous trees.
