From Wikipedia -
Ganoderma is a genus of polypores which grow on wood and includes over 250 species, many from tropical regions. Because of their extensive use in traditional Asian medicines, and their potential in bioremediation, they are a very important genus economically. Ganoderma can be differentiated from other polypores because they have a double walled basidiospore.
Ganoderma are characterized by basidiocarps that are lignicolous, coriaceous, and either with or without a stem. They have double-walled, truncate spores with yellow to brown ornamented inner layers.
The genus was named by Karsten in 1881. Members of the family Ganodermataceae were traditionally considered difficult to classify because of the lack of reliable morphological characteristics, the overabundance of synonyms, and the widespread misuse of names. Until recently, the genus was divided into two sections - Section Ganoderma with a shiny cap surface (like Ganoderma lucidum) and Elfvingia, with a dull cap surface, like Ganoderma applanatum. Phylogenetic analysis using sequence information derived from mitochondrial SSU rDNA, have helped to clarify our understanding of the relationships amongst Ganoderma species. The genus may now be divided into six monophyletic groups -
G. colossus group
G. applanatum group
G. tsugae group
Asian G. lucidum group
G. meredithiae group
G. resinaceum group
In 1905, American mycologist Murrill delineated the genus Tomophagus to accommodate the single species G. colossus (then known as Polyporus colossus) which had distinctive morphological features that did not fit in with the other species. Historically, however, Tomophagus has generally been regarded as a synonym for Ganoderma. Nearly a century later, phylogenetic analyses vindicated Murrill's original placement, as it has shown to be a distinct taxonomically appropriate genus.
Ganoderma are wood-decaying fungi with a cosmopolitan distribution, and can grow on both coniferous and hardwood species. They are white-rot fungi, and have enzymes that allow them to break down wood components such as lignin and cellulose. There is significant research interest in trying to harness the power of these wood-degrading enzymes for industrial applications such as biopulping or bioremediation.
Several species of Ganoderma have been used in traditional Asian medicines for thousands of years. Collectively, the Ganoderma are being investigated for a variety of potential therapeutic benefits:
anticancer effects
immunoregulatory effects
antioxidant activities
liver-protecting effects
hypoglycemic effects
antibacterial effects
antiviral effects
antifungal effects
reducing blood cholesterol
inhibiting blood vessel regeneration (angiogenesis)
antifibrotic effects
protection against radiation-induced damage
reducing lower urinary tract symptoms
increasing endurance for vigorous exercise
Notable species -
Ganoderma applanatum - Also known as the Artist's conch
Ganoderma pseudoferreum - Responsible for the root rot of cacao, coffee, rubber and tea trees
Ganoderma lucidum - Also known as Reishi or Lingzhi
Ganoderma philippii - A plant pathogen
Ganoderma tsugae - A polypore which grows on conifers, especially hemlock; thus the common name, Hemlock varnish shelf. Similar in appearance to Ganoderma lucidum, which typically grows on hardwoods.
Original tool at far right has pin spanner pins rounded off and lock ring teeth rounded over. Hozan tool is nice and sharp. Park Pin Spanner does the trick for removal of the left hand threaded lock-nut/dust shield.
Remove screws labeled #1 first to remove the OBD-II plug, then screws labeled #2 to remove bracket, then remove cable end from bracket.
Polymer insulator brackets.. A glass 42 fits as it has 1" pin and know a polymer or other insulator with 1" pin hole goes on it..
Thank you Mr Nazeer Ummer for correcting me.
It is not mushroom, but 'Bracket Fungi' in the phylum Basidiomycota.
I found it on a log of old wood in Chinbrook meadow, London
I soaked the bottom bracket in a hot citric acid solution to remove the flux and then gave it a scrub with a gentle scrubby pad. It doesn't look as good in the cold light of day as it did last night. I can't tell whether some of the rusty colour is surface rust or copper coming out of the brass filler. There is certainly some copper around. It should do the job though.
Having seen this for the first time this year I am now falling over it all the time, it is a lovely fungi though.
Pennington Flash has had some good fungi coming up this year and it's still there if you look.
Here's a quick modification I made to the cheapo umbrella bracket from Ebay.
To make sure the flash was safe, I added a small blob of Araldite at the ends of the hotshoe plate. this would stop the flash sliding out of the bracket if the screw had not been tightened properly. To remove the flash from the bracket now requires the screw to be undone quite some way.
Hopefully this will reduce the chance of the flash falling out. Not that it's happened yet, but this seems a sensible precaution.
This photo was lit with the ring light on half power, while the bracket was standing on foam-core. I burnt out the slight shadow in CS2.
Explored! #299 [October 16, 2007] Thanks!
Dismantled the bike over the weekend and took it to Assenmacher's for a repaint last night. In another month it's gonna look new. I'm sure I'll post more pix at that time.
Meantime, a few details: The frame was custom built by Matt Assenmacher in 1975 and has about 85,000 miles on it, 70K of them by 1986 when I finally bought a car. The Phil bottom bracket's been there since 1978. The crankset's a Stronglight 99; most of its parts date from 1975 but the left crank arm and small chainring are replacements. The bike was rebuilt with what eBay sellers call "New Old Stock" last spring, but I put the repaint off until winter because I wanted to get it on the road.
Weather permitting, I'll still hit the road this fall, and maybe even winter. Just on a different bike.

Gerry and Nathan at C & G Finishes did a beautiful job painting my frame. It's flamboyant red stove enamel with extra lacquer. It looks really deep and shiny in real life and it's amazing in the sunshine.
The chain stay bridge is tapped M5 for direct mounting of a mudguard and the bottom bracket shell has a drain hole next to the threaded cable guide mount just out of view.

I came across a sales lot full of eclectic items which included these old Dodge trucks.
This HDR image was produced in Photomatix Pro and Adobe Elements using three raw images bracketed at -2, 0 and +2.
What is this bracket for? It looks like a rock climbing bolt. Is it a place for mechanics to clip in while working on the wings?
This bracket attaches to to the lower laser bracket and allows some vertical play. The low-medium density foam table makes it super easy to achieve a firm attachment.

I work on 10 sets of tensioners at a time. All the profiling and shaping is done with a hand file and a belt sander. Brackets are cut to length on a table saw with a carbide tipped blade. (Don't try this at home kids) Finally purchased a single flute countersink which eliminated all chatter marks from the countersunk holes.
I soaked the bottom bracket in a hot citric acid solution to remove the flux and then gave it a scrub with a gentle scrubby pad. It doesn't look as good in the cold light of day as it did last night. I can't tell whether some of the rusty colour is surface rust or copper coming out of the brass filler. There is certainly some copper around. It should do the job though.

Fungus on an old tree in the University Botanic Gardens. Not sure of their exact type, but they look like some sort of Bracket fungus - anyone?
They have been confirmed as Dryads Saddle (Polyporus squamosus) - many thanks to Chemival and Marianna. Interestingly (?), they are also known as Pheasant's back.
