Fistulina hepatica, "Beefsteak Fungus", so-called from its raw appearance when young. It is common world-wide on rotting and living trees. It forms a broad tongue of rubbery tissue, growing laterally from a short base. Up to more than 200 mm wide and 80 mm deep, the cap is fleshy red to pink when young, exuding a red juice when cut. Underneath is a distinct layer of pinkish pores or tubes, which become more yellowish on ageing, and the cap becomes browner. Spore print pink. Mason's Falls, Kinglake National Park, 2007.
