shelf mushroom

 
This "shelf mushroom" was growing on a tree in the woods all summer.  This type grows on trees that are probably rotting inside, so there may be a new woodpecker tree in our future.  The mushroom looked vital from all angles, so I snapped photos thinking I would draw or paint it later.  Now, after some frosty nights, it is even more interesting.  Which one to draw . . . ?
