Squash mould abstract 3
Winter storage Squash, mould on skin detail
Several different types of fungi had colonised this squash,
and show differing interaction boundaries.
The squashes had been in storage since October.
This skin of this one had probably not been ripened
long enough in the sun before being stored.

Fascinating! An overlooked community up close. Did you take save the squash so you can watch changes over time?

I see a couple of faces there... and I am glad to see I am not the only one to photograph decaying squash ... what a weird bunch we are at times ! Looking through my archives, i see my photos taken on Jan 26 06, currently page 21 of my archives... I don't know how to post a link... I have such a lot to learn !

Great abstract, did you just slap it on the scanner?

Its hard to call moldy food attractive, but this comes close. I like the abstract quality. Very rich graphically.

Great detail and I love the concept.

Thank you all for your comments.
This was quite a large orange elongate type, of dubious parentage, as the seed was saved. A segment of skin with flesh attached was placed on the scanner, and the central area close to the glass was scanned.
I have kept the skin, but it will now dry rather than continue decaying.

Like this very much. It reminds me of Schiaparelli's maps of Mars.
