Green cheese polypore wild mushroom

After a wet summer, we went to hunt wild and edible mushroom in a local forest. It was my first time seeing this mushroom that needed to excrete excessive water from its body. The water droplets out of its body is their way of doing it. The dead leave in front of it makes a nice composition and color contrast between the dead leave and a lively fungi.
