Growing on a living beech tree in Epping Forest. As far as I can tell this is a species of Ganoderma, probably Ganoderma applanatum.
Looking for an ID. I love the red drops, which aren't typical of the possible species. Stacked photo. Bola Creek, Royal NP, Australia.
Birch Bracket Fungus / piptoporus betulinus. Morley, Derbyshire. 07/10/20.
'TWO OF A KIND.'
By standing astride this rotting Silver Birch branch, I had a unique opportunity to photograph the two fruiting bodies from directly above. Because the branch was lying horizontally on the woodland floor, the plane of their emergence had been disorientated. They project outwards, left and right so that their undersides are still parallel to the ground. For this to happen they must have emerged when the branch was already lying in this position.
The little monument in the middle is bracketed by the other two.
I admit that we have been watching "Dark Winds" on TV, a show about Navajo Nation Police. It has reminded us a lot of our brief trip to Monument Valley.
To live here would be extremely challenging. It is scenic and interesting to visit, but stark and definitely not lush. It makes you appreciate what people went through to make this place their home.

The old bracket post signal at Deshler...the slide scanner did not like the "gray ghost" paint, but you get the general idea.

Bracket Fungi taken Yeadon Tarn
Simple, aerobic organisms (such as mildews, molds, mushrooms, smuts, toadstools, and yeast) which (1) unlike bacteria can grow in low moisture and low pH environments, and have their genetic material bound in a membrane, (2) unlike plants do not have roots or leaves, do not contain chlorophyll, and do not produce their own food, but obtain nourishment from dead organic matter.

It is also named as Shelf Fungi, are among the many groups of fungi that comprise the phylum Basidiomycota. Characteristically, they produce shelf- or bracket-shaped fruiting bodies called conks that lie in a close planar grouping of separate or interconnected horizontal rows. Brackets can range from only a single row of a few caps, to dozens of rows of caps that can weigh several hundred pounds.
They are mainly found on trees (living and dead) and coarse woody debris, and may resemble mushrooms. Bracket fungi often grow in semi-circular shapes, looking like trees or wood. They can be parasitic, saprotrophic, or both.
Some species of bracket fungi are cultivated for human consumption or medicinal use.They can also be used as a wick in an oil/fat lamp.

Photo taken: Tyresta Park, Stockholm
Only 20 kilometres from the centre of Stockholm lies one of the most unspoilt areas of natural beauty in central Sweden – Tyresta National Park and Nature Reserve.
Due to purported crew issues the unit sand train from the New Hampshire Northcoast left Dover much later than normal, with CSXT's ex Pan Am train DOBO not arriving in Boston until about 5 AM. This made for a rare opportunity to shoot the NHN power in early morning light as the crew went about their work and got their 21 empties ready to head back north as BODO. They are seen here pulled up on Main 2 of the Eastern Route just West of FX with the head end in Somerville while most of the train is still in the Charlestown section of the City of Boston.
This spot afforded a view of the parade of inbound and outbound trains arriving and departing from the Eastern, Western and New Hampshire Routes. Passing on Main 4 is inbound Keolis/MBTA train 100 from Rockport with GP40MC shoving on the rear. As for the NHN train it consists of GP38-2s NHN 3825 (blt. Sept. 1978 as CR 8244) and FURX 5509 (blt. Mar. 1970 as high nosed straight GP38 SOU 2801) bracketing GP18 NHN 1801 (blt. Feb. 1960 as CRIP 1341).
The large blue building immediately behind them is the MBTA's Commuter Rail Mainetenance Facility known to all as BET (Boston Engine Terminal) a legacy name harking back to the great roundhouse and shop built around 1930 and demolished in 1995 to make way for this modern facility which opened in 1998. Beyond that are brand new high rises erected in the last year on long empty land that once was one of more than two dozen Boston and Maine Railroad yards in the vast terminal complex.
In the foreground tucked in the shadows beneath the I93 ramps are a pair of derelict RDCs that once were the vanguard of passenger service in the Commonwealth and members of the largest fleet of Budd cars
(109 total) rostered by any one railroad. From what I've been able to find online these two cars are B&M RDC-2s 6213 and 6214 built Sep. 1856 and Feb. 1958 respectively. They were sold to the MBTA in 1976 and then by 1989 were both derelict at North Billerica when sold for scrap. While a couple sister cars and some old PC E8s were cut up the scrapper never finished and abandoned these two. For unknown reasons they were moved in a special train here in early 2003 and have sat ever since in a state of suspended animation decaying more and more with each passing year. If you look closely though, beneath the grafitti can be seen the linked B and M letters of the McGinnis era logos adoring the relics, one of the few visual reminders left of this once mighty hometown road. This car was engulfed by a massive fire in September 2022, but amazingly it has yet to be scrapped and remains here as a burned out shell.

This bracket fungus was (is) on a stump along one of my favorite paths. The pure white is real; this was taken a day after some rain.
D744 with four cars is "heading for the barn" as a conductor who held that same local job out of Dayton for many years used to say. The bracket CPL signal and its companion dwarf at North Troy continue to guard the interlocking for the time being.
A pair of Hudson Bay SD50s bracket a former Burlington Northern SD40-2 leased from NRE as they shuffle around the west end of BNSF's Eola yard after delivering an Illinois Railway train from Ottawa.
The sky would soon open up with a hefty storm as the trio rolled back home.
With a pair of clean CN General Electric ES44AC units, an NS 32D train rolls past the classic New York Central-style bracket post signals on the "Water Level Route" at Dunlap, Indiana.
Alas, these vintage signals were replaced later in 2015 as part of a project to add a third main track between Goshen and Elkhart in order to reduce a traffic bottleneck on that section.
Cambridge has to be one of the best places left in the UK to see large numbers of ancient sodium street lighting still in main road use. This elderly 1960s AEI 'Amber' sodium lantern, seen burning a 90w SOX sodium lamp and held aloft on an even older bracket, is typical of the many old street lights to be found in the City. Sadly, all of this will all soon be history, as the City is about to undergo a massive PFI funded street lighting renewal program.
Found on patio during spring cleanup. Placed the log on the patio when it was freshly cut, about 12 years ago. Hadn't paid any attention to it since. Wish now I had been tracking the growth of the fungus!
Sometimes I ask myself do I need all the equipment I have to take good pictures. I was out with the dogs this morning. I hit the beach as sunrise begins, letting the dogs of the lead I check the settings on my canon G10 compact I take a bracketed exposure of this chosen composition, telling Toby to get out of frame first. So no DSLR or CSC, no tripod, no filters and I get this picture. Of course IMO I do need (and want) this equipment, and would not go on a shoot without it, but here I’m just “out with the dogs”.
