Thanks everyone so much and thanks Axel for the ID of my fungi! I have the greatest woods and fungi to go along with it.
I don't believe PSK has been approved here in the US but I hope it will be soon!
Is a beautiful typical Trametes, used for leucemia and other deseases
they looked like rock layers with those markings. amazing
LOL! It is my best fungi find I think so far. 3 acres of woods on the property I live with lots of rotting logs.
Looks like a costarican traditional clothing http://www.google.co.cr/imgres?q=traje+tipico+de+costa+rica&hl=es&safe=off&sa=X&biw=1366&bih=667&tbm=isch&prmd=imvns&tbnid=Az9QsUwVJIc6HM:&imgrefurl=http://www.alajuelenses.com/historia-simbolos-patrios-de-costa-rica-2.htm&docid=vIlvnbICPS9dOM&imgurl=http://www.alajuelenses.com/images/alajuelenses_simbolo_patrio_traje_tipico.jpg&w=145&h=165&ei=hn3NTs3FOszxggfstciHBA&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=648&vpy=376&dur=186&hovh=132&hovw=116&tx=87&ty=16&sig=100236192562792580706&page=1&tbnh=132&tbnw=116&start=0&ndsp=23&ved=1t:429,r:11,s:0
