This is a Cinnabar Polypore (Polyporus cinnabarinus), found on a log in Larose Forest the other day. The vivid colours, like those of the berries of certain shrubs, stand out in the monotone winter world. I love searching for mushrooms, but in winter it is polypores that one sees, on trees, logs and stumps. These are, thankfully, rather common.
