Hi Sherman & All, Apr 10, 2012
Outer skin didn't sound quite right for Ganoderma so I looked it up =
on Wikipedia where Gano derma =3D Shining skin i.e. the derma refers to =
the varnished outer surface of the fungus not the long since obliterated =
epidermis of the tree, log or stump.=20
It is indeed partial to Hemlock (I don't recall having seen it on =
anything else) but is apparently sometimes fonud on other conifers.

Subject: Re: [NatureNS] Early-blooming plant and unusual fungus
I meant to add in regards to DW's identification of Ganoderma tsugae, =
that the name relates to it being a fungus that is typically associated =
with Eastern Hemlocks. i.e. found on the outer skin (ganoderma) of =
hemlock (tsugae). Could you tell if the stump was a hemlock? Or were =
there hemlocks in the area?=20

Hello everyone:
I went for a hike yesterday on the new community trail in Avondale. =
It was the first time in a long while since I have such large patches of =
juniper! Near the start of the trail was a stump that had a fungus I =
have never seen growing out of it. In fact, on first inspection, it =
looked like someone had made them out of pewter and stuck them to the =
stump as a decoration. The effect was heightened as the "stalks" were =
the same diameter, right to the wood, as it didn't seem possible for it =
to be like that with no disturbance in the wood, unless it was held on =
with a protruding nail. They ever sounded hollow when tapped.
The other odd item I came across was a shrub in full bloom. It was =
waist high, and shaped almost like a candelabra, with the flowers on =
vertical sections of branch. I have seen comments from people that their =
daphne is in bloom in late winter, but never having seen a daphne plant =
I was not sure if this was an example. The plant was in an area that was =
growing in, so it's possible it may have been part of a garden in the =
past.=20
