And Now for Something Completely Different

A 19-shot focus stack of a small portion of pine marten 'scat' that was covered in fungus. This was photographed using my Raynox DCR-250 mounted on my macro lens and shows about 2cm of the scat. The 'fluffiness' is due to the mycelium of the fungus, which consists of branches of tiny thread-like hyphae. The scat is clearly a highly nutritious substrate for the fungus.
