First Fungus Blip Of Autumn

Well what a horrid day weather wise - after such a great run of late summer days. The rain hammered down all morning and early afternoon.

Neither Katie nor Finlay are fans of rain - they put there paws down (all 7 of them) and make life difficult....so at the first sign of rain stopping I dragged them out for a walk.

No real blip inspiration, but I did find this fungus growing on a dead branch. It was very dark under the trees so I had to use flash to get a shot.

My knowledge of fungi is pretty limited (almost non-existent) but I think that this may be a 'bracket' fungus - but beyond that I don't know what it is!
