Polypores are a large group of fungi (aka "shelf fungi" or "bracket fungi") that are important decomposers of rotting wood. They are often seen on tree trunks and rotting logs.
I've never noticed "green" bracket fungus until photographing this log at Old Mission Lighthouse Park in northwest Michigan. In researching this phenomenon, I have found many pictures of the "green" bracket fungus, but no classification, or explanation for it.
I think that, because of a lot of rainfall this year and the ensuing constant dampness, green algae has grown on the log surface and extended its growth to the surfaces of the bracket fungus. Whatever the cause, the fungus has presented itself in a very colorful manner.

Nice thunder storm moves in with a gust front producing about a 40 mph wind. Lost power for about 3 hours after lightning struck a power pole very close by.
Not titled after popular night club antics but more so for the fact that it seems to be a favourite past time for water to drizzle itself off something! Whale beach with Carlo, and an unusually high swell coupled with a big high tide!

Laetiporus is a genus of edible mushrooms found throughout much of the world. These shelf mushroom (kippezwam) are most commonly found on wounds of trees, mostly oak, as well as eucalyptus, yew, sweet chestnut, and willow, as well as conifers in some species. Laetiporus species are parasitic and produce brown rot in the host on which they grow.

Epidote shelf 1 of 2.
Well developed crystals of epidote, Ca2Al2(Fe3+;Al)(SiO4)(Si2O7)O(OH), crystallizing in the monoclinic system, are of frequent occurrence: they are commonly prismatic in habit, the direction of elongation being perpendicular to the single plane of symmetry. The faces are often deeply striated and crystals are often twinned. Many of the characters of the mineral vary with the amount of iron present for instance, the color, the optical constants, and the specific gravity. The color is green, grey, brown or nearly black, but usually a characteristic shade of yellowish-green or pistachio-green. It displays strong pleochroism, the pleochroic colors being usually green, yellow and brown. Clinozoisite is green, white or pale rose-red group species containing very little iron, thus having the same chemical composition as the orthorhombic mineral zoisite. The name, due to Haüy, is derived from the Greek word "epidosis" (ἐπίδοσις) which means "addition" in allusion to one side of the ideal prism being longer than the other.
This was not a storm, it was just a cold front racing over the East Grand Traverse Bay this afternoon pushing the warm air. It was moving so fast and the temp dropped by 10 -15 degrees. It was just amazing to watch!
this wild looking shelf cloud formed over Lake Erie and moved inland over Cleveland Hopkins Airport ....scary looking stuff

Driving across far western Kansas on I-70, we drove under some thunderstorm cells and captured this shot of the associated shelf cloud. Unfortunately I did not have my dslr camera with my wide angle lens along, but this shot turned out OK with my Powershot camera. A dramatic sight indeed!
These are some of my pigments. They are all dry powder and can be used for the wax but also I use them to make oil paints.
I really like this tiny graffito that I saw in a local coffee shop. the slightly curved 'spine' makes this seem almost alive.

An agave that has finished blossoming punctuates this shaded limestone shelf. In the distance is the canyon’s north rim.

Well, that's it for my long series on the great shelf-cloud that
we witnessed in June of this year, during a worldwide pandemic.
Was hard to believe that after 'this-shot' above, my first photo,
it would turn into the most amazing extreme-weather shoot
of my life. Incredible to see. Thanks for looking - End Series

Macro Mondays-Best With Holiday Is....Decorations!
My little Shelf Elf is one of my favourite Christmas decorations!
Looking downslope on the south side of Atigun Pass from Chandalar Shelf, in the Brooks Range in northern Alaska.
Below, in that dirt wide spot in the road, (chain-up area for trucks headed up Atigun in winter) is where 'the farthest north spruce tree' is located.
Treeline here is 2500 feet. In contrast, Alberta CA is 7500 feet, Colorado is 12,000 feet, and Ecuador, near the Equator, is 19,000 feet.
