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.

I like the colours, textures and variety of tree brackets

Thank you all who fave and comment on my photo'/video's,much appreciated.And thank you all for looking.

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.

Snowy Egret meets itself on the surface of Horsepen Bayou as it prepares for another strike on the hapless baitfish.

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.

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

Taken at Victoria Park, which is located in the town of Truro, in Nova Scotia, Canada.

A celebration of light & color.

Tech note: How to get a bit more depth of field, shooting close and wide open in low light? Focus Stack! Easy with focus bracketing & IBIS on the X-S10. A burst of 16 exposures with electronic shutter, handheld. None of the individual exposures have sharp focus on both vases. Load to layers in Photoshop, crop square, Double size, AutoAlign, AutoBlend, Crop back to original, Binate. Probably the up-and down-sampling are unnecessary, so will skip that in future. No adjustment to the image hue, saturation or lightness, but I guess it will still qualify for Sliders Sunday?

Bracket fungus on dead Ash

Thank you to everyone who visits, faves, and comments.

The appropriately named “Scarlet Bracket” Pycnoporus coccineus (garden fungi) is one of the most common and colourful brackets that can be found even in dry weather growing on sticks and wood. Orange scarlet in colour, these fan shaped, firm bracket mushrooms attach themselves along the straight edge to wood. Their size is very variable. Juveniles are a lovely scarlet colour; the underside is a deeper colour and consists of fine pores. As this fungus ages, the bracket gets larger. The surface colour also tends to fade with age and exposure to strong sunlight – in fact some old specimens are bleached to white, but usually the pores retain some colour.

The theme for “Smile on Saturday” for the 23rd of October is “mushrooms”. On one of my walks a few months ago when the weather had begun to change from winter to warmer spring, I chanced across these Scarlet Bracket mushrooms attached to the dead branch of an old prunus tree which had been heavily pruned. I was only photographing the prunus blooms and then I noticed this colourful survivor clinging to a branch. I was so taken with the colour in contrast to the pink of the blossom, the grey of the wood and azure sky that I decided to take a photograph of it. Now I’m glad I did, as I feel that it is perfect for this week’s theme. I do hope that you like my choice, and that it makes you smile.

Sous l'œil attentif,

Fleurs révèlent leurs secrets,

Beauté infinie.

Under attentive gaze,

Flowers unveil their secrets,

Infinite beauty.

View from underneath showing the pores. Not sure of the ID of this species? See photo (1) also. Spotted at the JFK Arboretum.

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?

The birch polypore only grows on Birch trees. This leathery bracket fungus has a rounded, coffee-coloured cap. This particular specimen was approximately 30cm across

Another of the cooperative subjects at Red Moss Nature Reserve. Fortunate to get a series of bracketed images before it flew off. This is 30 images focus bracketed in camera then focus stacked in Helicon Focus Pro.

I think this might be "Chicken of the Woods" one of several edible species of Laetiporus fungus. Visible from a public footpath in Nottinghamshire. The fungus and tree it is infecting stand on private land, so even if I was confident about my identification and its conservations status (which I'm not!) I would still leave it well alone!
