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 often wonder where do the witches hide in the woods. 🤔

Fruiting bodies of the Turkey-tail fungus (Trametes versicolour) called due to it resemblance in shape and the presence of concentric rings. It is a very common bracket fungus that has attractive multicoloured zones hence another name, the many-zoned polypore. This one had algae growth over its neck (not uncommon sight) of an interesting shape. Primrose Hill Community Woodland. Bath, BANES, England, UK.

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.

Yet another visit to the Crossrail bridge, Canary Wharf. It's not easy finding a different angle on this well-photographed location.

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,

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?

Bracketing of four frames

I was driving on US Hwy 84 and was basically chasing the edge of a storm which started to produce a wonderful array of light scenarios. I saw everything from rainbows to lightning to these crepuscular rays.

I didn't think much of this picture when I took it and it was one of the last ones that I processed from the entire shoot. In hindsight I wish I had bracketed the exposure to get better detail in the highlights. I also wish I had done a timelapse of the rays moving across the landscape. Oh well...
