Fungi of beechwood: The Lumpy Bracket (Trametes gibbose) growing on live beech tree (Fagus sylvatica). It was quite high up and this is the best top view I could manage. I noticed it during my last visit to the woods couple weeks before but didn’t have time to stop and get a closer look. Lansdown, Bath, BANES, England, U.K.

I try to give ID where possible but often it is not an easy task in the world of fungi without special examination, and I am not a mycologist. So, if you feel that ID is incorrect, please do correct.

This is a telephoto of the previous image, I prefer it. Originally I thought all my landscape photography needed to be shot much wider. I find some scenes really benefits from the narrower focus. Bringing you further into the image, showing you more detail. I really do enjoy the telephoto side of photography more than I thought I would. It of course will be a learning experience to figure out when to use each lens, and where... always learning when I go out, always trying to improve every aspect of my photography, and take my viewers on a journey.

Even on rainy days there are still interesting objects to photograph.

Can anyone identify this bracket fungus? It's on a dead spruce stump.

Bitter Bracket - Postia stiptica Lower (fertile) surface with tubes and pores; watery droplets are exuded mainly from margin region and from the pores. Very bitter taste. It may turn ochre-brown when old. Usually on felled trunks and large fallen branches of conifers; very occasionally on the timber of hardwood trees.

Was glad to finally be able to photograph these signals in clouds, as under normal operating times, this shot would be completely backlit,

Usually in woodland I try to eliminate as the sky or as much of it from the frame. The obvious reason for this is that inevitability the sky, no mater what the day is like will blow out the highlights, as the dynamic range is too much. Sometimes to capture a scene you need to include a big lump of sky. You can’t really use a ND grad as it will darken the intruding branches and foliage, so you need to either bracket the scene or reduce the exposure. Given the great DR latitude of our modern camera more often than not from a 3 frame bracket I only use 2 or in the end go with the darkest one.

Couple of days back I came across this tall tree covered with lots of bracket fungi. Interesting!!! This is only a portion of the tree. Recommend large view.

Many thanks to all those who view, fav or comment my pictures. I very much appreciate it.

Part of a bracket fungus (I think) growing out, in the vicinity of a large tree that we had to have taken down a few years ago. Apparently there's still tree material down there in the soil. This was about as large as a plate. I like the colors.

This is probably Ganoderma.

Thanks for looking! Isn't God a great artist?
