I am curious. Anyone know what this guy is?

I’m curious as well and guessing maybe ~~ birch polypore, birch bracket, or razor strop ~~?

Fomitopsis betulina https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fomitopsis_betulina

Let me guess, you put this into some computer vision app and it guessed a polypore from a photo of a gilled mushroom because it saw birch bark.

Sadly no, I typed up the description on Brave search; it took a while because I used common words:

“Mushrooms that grow on tree branches sideways possible orange color” and variations of without using punctuation and the +/- symbols.

Now that you mentioned it, if there is a computer vision app you can recommend I would very much appreciate it. I’m not tech savvy and using an old iPhone if that helps. Thank you.

I use iNaturalist but it's pretty hit or miss (the bark thing is one kind of mistake I see it make frequently).

[–] Sh00Fly@piefed.social 4 points 2 months ago

Got it, thank you so much! I agree with your statement regarding the bark as I was looking at the photos from Wikipedia.

I’m delighted to see that iNaturalist works on birds as well; my references are mostly books and journals with questionable illustrations and photographs.

Thank you so much, you’re lovely!
