They are brown and gelatinous looking in the winter or after heavy rains as they swell with water. There are also fallen leaves on the forest floor. Tinder Polypores. Each looks like a horse’s hoof - slightly curved toward the top with a flat bottom. Almost like ½ a bell. There are bands of muted colors on the mushroom including ochre, cream, dull orange, and white. Each is approximately the size of a large fist. There is also moss on the tree.
