So this one was confusing to me. At first glance I thought one of the Ganoderma species (yes a mushroom) and it is indeed a polypore with white pores underneath. But, it wasn't shiny, which *could* potentially check out if it's been dried out and what really stumped me is it was growing from the ground and Ganoderma typically grows on wood. So unless there was wood underneath that soil, I dunno

reishi ?

growing off a root?

@Binky got a clue what this is?

Bethesda in the new cat hammock. I put a "cuddler" bed on the bottom part (set it up on the kitchen table) and Yasuke likes the cuddler.

You have money coming out of your neck!

I lived is Council Bluffs, Iowa for about 20 years. Iowa is the first state that presidential candidates go to during presidential elections. Since I helped out in the Republican Party, I got to be in the front row. There were thousands of people there but Trump was only able to interact with the first two or three rows.

I'm really glad to see my first instinct on this one seems to be the consensus. Awful odd place for Ganoderma to be growing, though. It was growing out of the edge of a dirt bank at the end of my street. If y'all are really interested I think I took pics of the pore surface too.

I'll try to walk down there and take more pics this evening. It wasn't particularly close to trees but there's some oak and Grey pine nearby. Here's the pore surface and another cap photo that shows the bank in the background.

Fire in the sky. Taken this afternoon from the deer stand. The sun is setting, but is being relected off of ice clouds.
