Deer Shield / Mushroom! (Pluteus cervinus)
The Deer Shield is a #wood-rotting fungus that occurs mainly on hardwood #stumps. This fungus can appear at any time from late #spring through to late #autumn.
Although its caps are usually fawn or light brown, like the coat of a young #deer (referred to as a 'fawn' regardless of its colour!), some authorities say that the common name comes not from the #brown colour of the #cap but from antler-like horn-shaped protrusions on apex of the gill-face #cystidia (known as pleurocystidia) that can be seen under a #microscope!
