SPIRAL, texture. new 08/07/09.

discs of new fresh-bracket fungi, (polyporus squamosus)-dryad's saddle) also known as the pheasants back mushroom. growing on the stump of an old dead elm tree (ulmes procera)-the tree stump is stained with purple dye, from the old decaying fungi. this tree stump and fungi, have now been destroyed by a fully paid up member, of the mass chainsaw brigade. all for the sake of 2 or 3 logs, it does not grow on any other tree-or place in this area. so no more pics of this for anybody to take next year or ever. the becks, langholm, dumfriesshire, scotland. view large.

    Great angle on these neat fungi. Rarely have seen so many on one tree. The little baby fungi growing off the parents are charming. Thanks for this wonderful nature shot.
