Cece Case found this fungus several weeks ago. It's a Dyer's Polypore.

This fungus helps decompose dead wood. It's also prized by dyers of yarn, as it turns yarn yellow or orange when young like this one, or a rich brown when older.

Thanks to Cece for allowing me to share her photo with you here.

Today is a gorgeous day on the Mendonoma coast. Blue skies, with occasional white, puffy clouds, and a warm breeze. There have been some amazing whale sightings recently too. Over a dozen Humpback whales were seen yesterday.
