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.
Order: Polyporales
Family: Fomitopsidaceae
Genus: Fomitopsis

The frame featured a Miche bottom bracket with Italian threading (36mm x 24 tpi). Unfortunately the lock ring is somewhat stuck and my lockring tool keeps slipping. The only concrete result of repeated opening attempts is a damaged lockring. No luck with a hammer and a screwdriver either. Liberal amounts of CRC-556 have been used. La lotta continua as the saying goes.
The spindle rotates quite smoothly and I assume the bearing cups are probably in fair condition at least, but new grease is definitely needed.
I loved the balanced design of this flash bracket after I saw it on "metropolicity"'s flickr page. I agree with him...it's awesome.

This huge (about 3 feet diameter) bracket fungus appeared on a dead mango tree behind our house. One day, I noticed that it was "smoking" and took this photo. It appears that spores are being released.
This pile of brackets and spacers are from the rear dragbox. The have been removed to allow riveting of other areas, but will shortly be 'final' assembled and riveted into position. Our midweek crew will give them a clean up and paint as they will largely be inaccessible once assembly is complete.
Went a bit of a fungus expedition near Pickering, came up with quite a collection. All on the Nikon D3 where the ISO versatility helps in the rather dark condityions and the trust5 manual 55mm f3.5 Ai Nikkor
A pair of missing brackets added to the Alfa's passenger side door. The brackets have a threaded hole to provide fitting for the door card, under the arm rest. Currently the door card is only fixed by the self tappers around the edge.
I use a flash bracket from Really Right Stuff (RRS) to keep the flash above my camera in portrait and landscape setting.
I was using the zoom bracket mode where it takes 3 pics at once...but slightly different zoom ranges. The images are smaller too. I think about 3meg.
My homemade twin flash bracket set for portrait orientation.
It is strong, fairly adjustable, and can do both landscape and portrait orientations.
