The Flight of the Spoonbill

Location: Cley Next The Sea, Norfolk, England, UK
This bracket fungus had taken over a birch tree stump. We found it on the walk just behind the White Rose Centre, Leeds.
I used a dremel tool to remove the inside of the plastic bracket and to cut away extra plastic for it to fit properly

Taken at Kedleston yesterday, the red colour caught my eye, interested to know what it is. ( Inonotus dryadeus ? ) It was part way up the tree where a branch had broken off and rotted out.
This trip focused on the newly drained basement and some of the finer things on the upper floors of the HTJ.
Piptoporus betulinus, commonly known as the birch bracket or razor strop, is one of the most common polyporous bracket fungi and, as the name suggests, grows almost exclusively on birch trees. The brackets burst out from the bark of the tree, and these fruiting bodies can last for more than a year. Technically, it is an edible mushroom, with a strong, pleasant "mushroomy" odor but a bitter taste. It is said to have medicinal properties, and the velvety cut surface of the fruiting body were used as a strop for finishing the finest of edges on razors. Dried specimens have also been used as tinder, and this fungus was carried by "Ötzi the Iceman" – the 5,000 year old mummy found in Tyrol.[1]
It is a necrotrophic parasite on weakened birches, and will cause brown rot and eventually death, being one of the most common fungi visible on dead birches. It is likely that the birch bracket fungus becomes established in small wounds and broken branches and may lie dormant for years, compartmentalised into a small area by the tree's own defence mechanisms, until something occurs to weaken the tree. Fire, drought and suppression by other trees are common causes of such stress.
In most infections there is only one fungal individual present, but occasionally several individuals may be isolated from a single tree, and in these cases it is possible that the birch bracket fungus entered after something else killed the tree. These fungal "individuals" can sometimes be seen if a slice of brown-rotted birch wood is incubated in a plastic bag for several days. This allows the white mycelium of the fungus to grow out of the surface of the wood. If more than one individual dikaryon is present, lines of intraspecific antagonism form as the two individual mycelia interact and repel each other.

Custom DIY Triple Flash Bracket
Strobist info: 430EXII camera right with Stofen on FlexTT5 ..channel B
580EXII camera left & rear diffused with Stofen, on FlexTT5 channel A
Triggered via MiniTT1 & AC3 .. Channel A set to -.3
This is a derivative of my standard flash bracket, but wanted to make one to see how feasible it was as a DIY project.
IMO ... I would go for one of my Strobes before using 3 flashes & batteries ... but that's Me ...
An example of the Canon 35ML not focusing properly. I do like this shot though. It was kinda low light, but I used 400 iso film and the lens is a 1.9. I think something should have been in focus. It's possible the filter that came on the lens is the culprit. I'm in the process of finishing a roll in the camera. Half with the filter the remaining without. Now if I can just make myself go outside to shoot in this cold windy Portland day. At least the sun is out!
Canon AF35ML, Kodak Gold 400 expired

Always bracket when shooting fall colors. ;-)
BTW the picture was taken with a Pentax ME.
This little bracket is one of two that supports the Engine Compartment Cover. At some point the corner that it was attached to had cracked and it was plastered with weld as a repair. Not wanting to lose the bracket I carefully ground away the weld until I got down to original metal. It was painstaking work-- a little like an archeological dig. I'll weld in new sheet metal to replace the missing bit.
