This CNC machined aluminum bracket holds a Bosch 044 or similar sized pump. Also perfectly sized to hold the Radium in-line fuel filter.

Fomitopsis betulina (previously Piptoporus betulinus), commonly known as the birch bracket or razor strop, is a common bracket fungus. As the name suggests, it grows almost exclusively on birch trees. The brackets burst out from the bark of the tree, and these fruit bodies can last for more than a year.

Fomitopsis betulina has been widely used in traditional medicines. Agaric acid found in the fruit body of the fungus, is poisonous to the parasitic whipworm Trichuris trichiura. The fungus was carried by "Ötzi the Iceman", the 5,300 year old mummy found in Tyrol, with speculation that the fungus may have been used as a laxative to expel whipworm.

Bracket fungi include the tough, woody, shelf-like growths on the trunks of dead trees. Some species are serious parasites of living trees. The upper side often shows concentric striations that represent successive years of growth. Ages of 50-70 years have been recorded for some species. The lower surface is composed of numerous minute pores through which astronomical numbers of spores are released.

Aquellos maravillosos años con brackects que espero no volver a pasar nunca!

On a rotting log in How Tun Woods this morning,thriving in the current weather conditions.

Bracket fungi feed on wood, either as living trees or dead logs, and the brackets are their fruiting bodies. These form shelf-like structures singly or in groups and normally stick out from the trunk or branches though some develop from infected roots and appear at ground level. They can vary in size from a few centimetres to the giant polypore (Meripilus giganteus), which can reach 1m across. There are scores of different species including the gruesome beefsteak fungus that looks like raw meat and produces red juice when cut, and the more attractive chicken of the woods, which is bright yellow and a gourmet delicacy.

Not sure what the droplets are but beetles were eating them.

Taken handheld at 1/15 of a second. Which shows either that I have a steady hand, or that the optical image stabilisation in the camera is very good.

As per Bruce's suggestion...crop from bottom. I cropped a bit below the bright spot and then cloned. I think the suggestion was spot on...thanks
