Field Notes

Description:

All white hoof-like carpophore on a living broad-leaved tree; some 12 to 15 cm tall and as much in length.

Habitat:

Here seen in rather rural or semi-urban setting: in a very calm small rural town not too far away from Geneva, in its big wooded park with large meadow. The town and the park are close to slopes of Jura and coasts of lake Leman (Geneva).

That's a nice spotting, Zlatan. A very handsome specimen. I love the name "ice man fungus" - it conjures all sorts of images.
