With the poison ivy leaves out of the way, I was able to get back to the Varnish Shelf mushrooms to log a final photo of this year’s life cycle.

This photo was taken 5 ½ months after the initial photo in this series. It shows the trunk of a hemlock tree with 6 plate like mushrooms growing out of the bark, some at eye level, some knee and ankle level. They are dark maroon and tan, cracked and slightly droopy, their attachment points weakened on the tree. At the base of the tree are autumn leaves and bright green moss.
Same tree and mushrooms from the first photo but now it is 9 days later and the mushrooms have flattened and doubled in size. Less blubby and more plate like. The previous golden yellow has darkened to caramel brown and the white edges have yellowed. The bottoms are still white.
Seven large, flat shelf mushrooms growing out of a standing, dead hemlock. The largest is bigger than my outstretched hand. The tops of the mushrooms and where they attach to the tree are amber brown and they lighten as they get closer to the edge with yellow being the final color. At the base of the tree is a bright green carpet of moss. In the background are green shrubs, ground cover and larger trees.
Closeup of the bottom 5 feet of a hemlock tree with 7 round to blubby polypore mushrooms fruiting out from the bark. The young, tender mushrooms are golden yellow on top and white on the edges and bottom. The tree is in the forest with moss as its base and other trees in the background. The bark of the tree is darkened with rain.
