Artist's Bracket Fungus (Ganoderma applanatum)

This week we all went west – to Fort Victoria, Norton, near Yarmouth.  We were assisting Anita, the Ranger, in managing this lovely site.  There are two seasonal pools next to the main path.  We were asked to cut back the undergrowth surrounding the first pool.  Its original sign designating it as the Newt Pond was discovered under the plant material.  At the second pool, similarly, undergrowth was reduced and some of the silt at the bottom removed.  The second pool has a defined perimeter.  After tea break, we then all moved along to the far end of the site to the viewpoint.  Again, we had a good tidy up and removed any undergrowth that might impede the wonderful view across to Hurst Castle.

Thank you to Terry for the photos.
