And how did you spend your Christmas morning? Why trying to identify this fungus since you ask. And did you succeed in your mycological quest? Erm, no. The best I can come up with is that it's a bracket fungi (well, d'oh!) possibly an Alder Bracket though, as all the guides say, identification is tricky. These guys are sprouting out of that dead chestnut tree I posted a while back on the 'decay' theme day .
Here they are with a bit of colour.
The weekend in black and white should be here if it hasn't been consumed by all the seasonal goings-on.
I'm afraid I know nothing about fungi, but I love the textures of the wood. Seems like a well-spent morning.
ReplyDeleteMy mycology knowledge doesn't cover this particular fungi, but it does make for a fine b&w image.
ReplyDeleteA great b&w composition!
ReplyDeleteThe textures of fungi are fascinating. You capture them beautifully.
ReplyDeleteNow that fungi is an interesting shape, beautifully framed by the wood textures.
ReplyDeleteGreat textures and shapes
