Fungi Star?

Since star is the word for this week I couldn't help sharing this little treasure with you. Imagine my surprise when I looked down and saw this star like mushroom near the base of a tree. Crazy right? I know, who would have thought it possible but here is the proof. I cropped it with tightly letting a lot of the tree bark show because I loved the textural contrast this image shows. Doesn't the bottom bark look like amber liquid? I just loved the shine and subtle movement it created.
