Sappy fun guy.

We found this fungus clinging to one of the Mulberry trees on our side street. Sorry I can't get a better focus on it, the macro function on my camera is a bit poor.

I don't know if they grow in a wound on the tree, hence the sap coming out, or if the sap is something to do with the fungus itself.
Any mycologists out there?

Glad to say that abuelo seems to be o.k. A mild heart attack, but wanting to go home (but he's not going yet!) He will be a blip in the future, a very interesting history having been born around the Civil War.
