This mushroom is an example of such a freak, whose shape resembles a sea animal than a fungus.

The willow rosette forms on the trunks and branches of willow mainly very characteristic orange-brown sometimes greenish, radial-finger-like patches

The fungus likes the presence of another fungus, namely the yellow-edged bristle Hymenochaete tabacina, which is also found on willow

Willow rosette is a very rare species of fungus. In Poland, its positions are only in Pomerania. There are about 20 of them. It belongs to the species of large-oval fungi.
