This is about one, and the only one, of the dozens of decaying Sycamore logs in my garden. The fungus species in usually, but not always, found on Elder [i]Sambucus[/i]. It is the Common Jelly Ear.

In December 2018 I found some cylindrical growths emerging. Only many weeks later did they become much like the normal outer ear shpe.

Recently, the form has become much more typical. Yesterday I photographed the colony which shows all stages to the soft jelly decay.

I repositioned the log for the photos.
