Fomitopsis rosea

The Fomitopsis rosea is a fungi that only grows on dead trees that have been dead for 20+ years. They are a good indicator that the forest where it is located is an old-growth forest, because it's extremely unlikely to find them in newer forests.

This specimen was found in Trillemarka nature reserve in Norway.
