A shelf mushroom, about 5 inches high and 4 inches wide is growing on a birch about 4 feet up the trunk. You can see it bursting through the papery bark. The mushroom is unusually shaped looking like a a croissant with its ends pointing downward growing atop a more normally shaped hoof shaped mushroom. The mushroom has intricate bands and thinner stripes of various shades of brown, many of them tan and cream soda colored. On top of the mushroom is a drawing of a woman’s head, complete with flaring fashionable hat.
