A bracketed, long exposure, landscape image of a forest in Perthshire, Scotland.

"What is this?" asks Danbo.

"Oh it's just a bracket doing nothing very much in the greenhouse." I said.

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.

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.

As seen Nov. 1st.

Relocated this Nov. 13 and its striking white edge was dark

The wood it is on is only 3.5 - 4" in diameter.

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.

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?

Exposure bracketing made in 2012 with a Fuji S100FS. I merged the Raws and reprocessed the dng with the latest version of lightroom, then finished with GigaPixel, all in less than 5mns; I get a much better and natural result than with the fusion process Photoshop of that era or Photomatix ... In conclusion, never get rid of his Raw files (as well as his negatives for that matter).

I treasure my finepix: the texture and colors are reminiscent of analog photographies... Matter of the heart.

Unfortunately, the greater demosaicers either do not accept the s100fs raf, or treat the signals as if they were coming from a Bayer matrix (possibly by analyzing them from a 45° angle). To my knowledge, only Silkypix (V11 so far) and Raw-Therapee exploit the additional pixel, but for a lower image quality than Lightroom (IMHO) and without any real improvement in the level of detail.

The good news is that the new Silkypix V11 (30$) improvements remains applicable to the s100fs raws, but the visible quality improvement is still not good enough for me.

Bracketing d'exposition effectué en 2012 avec un Fuji S100FS. J'ai fusionné les Raws et retraité le dng avec la dernière version de lightroom, puis ai terminé avec GigaPixel, le tout en moins de 5mns ; J'obtiens un résultat bien supérieur et naturel qu'avec le processus de fusion Photoshop d'époque ou Photomatix ... En conclusion, ne jamais se débarrasser de ses fichiers Raw (comme de ses négatifs d'ailleurs).

Je conserve jalousement mon finepix : la texture et les couleurs rappellent celles des photos argentiques... une affaire de cœur !

Malheureusement, les grands dématriceurs actuels, soit n'acceptent pas les raf du s100fs, soit traitent les signaux comme s'il étaient issus d'une matrice de Bayer (possiblement en les analysant sous un angle de 45°). A ma connaissance, seuls Silkypix et Raw-Therapee exploitent le pixel supplémentaire, mais pour une qualité d'image inférieure à celle de Lightroom (IMHO).

This is a bracket fungus growing on a large Ash tree and it's the 2nd year that I've noticed it.

In it's early stages it's an acidic yellow gelatinous ball shape oozing liquid.

I've tried to identify it and it would appear to be a Shaggy Bracket, or Ionotus hispidus (source: www.first-nature.com/fungi/inonotus-hispidus.php)

It's described as a bracket fungus that is found mostly on Ash and Apple and leads to white rot decay in the tree.

Some exceptional medicinal benefits though are attributed to this mushroom as a remedy to cancer, diabetes and stomach ailments and the lowering of blood glucose levels.

If anyone can confirm this identification I'd be very grateful.
