I found this strange fungus growing in the crack in a log.
After a Google search I decided that it has to be 'Panus fasciatus' or a distant cousin ;)

This gorgeous normally shy bird surprised me by sitting quite willingly as I zoomed in for this photo. Normally they dart around from branch to branch. Perhaps it thought is was obscured from view :)
Previously known as Purple Crested Louries here in South Africa, the name has been changed to
"Purple Crested Turaco"
