Tinder Conk is a species of fungus that grows on trees. It has a distinctive "hoof" like shape. It is found on decaying trees and stumps. It typically grows on hardwoods such as birch. They carry their spores in the bottom side. I chose this picture because I liked how the fungus grew on the tree and added character and is unique in its shape.
