Very nicely seen, Mike. Interesting colours and lines.

How about cropping to horizontal (keeping the bottom half or a bit more)? That's where most of the action and colour is.

Good shooting.

wow -- acres of the stuff... all I can say is that it's a kind of bracket / shelf fungus, and a very colorful one.
beautifully imaged Mike, a real keeper!

Nice shot, especially the colors and textures in the lower half. Paul's crop makes sense because the upper area is brighter and draws your eye from the color below.

The family name for these fungi is Polypore, the common name is turkey tail.

A beautiful and unique grouping that is a pure joy to find out in nature. Nice shot dude! 8)
I also agree with the crop suggestion.
Interesting patterns and coloring!

Thanks for posting this one Mike. Have not seen these in awhile!

Very cool Mike. Beautiful colours & textures here.

Would personally just crop a small amount off the top - about 10%.
