Fistulina hepatica
Another common name for this parasitic bracket is the Ox Tongue fungus. If you cut through the flesh, it does look like a slice of prime beef; however taste is said to be not as good as the appearance. They grow on broadleaved trees, especially oaks and sweet chestnuts, from late summer into autumn.




It looks like a meat pie with gravy to me (the brownish-colored one) or cheesecake drizzled with strawberry syrup (the red-colored one). 🙂

Yes, it doesn’t look like something you’d find in nature, does it?
