Genus TrametesObserver

Orange Shelf Fungi spotted on a downed branch just barely under the leaves. Found this down the trail that was just opened and I hope it stays a secret for a while!! I love that it is quiet and not well used. I know... I'm shameful. I like that it is my secret little hideaway.

Brown anole running for cover after I tripped over a vine near his basking area. Typical move. He let me capture a few shots before running under some leaf litter. Just after a bad flood, so I was quite shocked to see him at all!

I believe this is a Resupinatus Polypore, but I am quite often mistaken so any help here is appreciated. We were doing a fashion model photography shoot and bam! There she was, so we had to stop and capture her. Thankfully our model is a biology major so he is as interested in this stuff as we are.
