Toothed Crust Fungus

DateWed 2014-02-05

From a couple of years ago: a white toothed crust fungus, possibly Irpex lacteus, on a fallen branch. The hook shape of the teeth is probably a result of the teeth continuing to grow downwards after the branch had fallen and the orientation of the fungus had changed.
