Bracket Fungi produce shelf- or bracket-shaped or occasionally circular fruiting bodies called conks that lie in a close planar grouping of separate or interconnected horizontal rows.They are mainly found on trees (living and dead) and coarse woody debris, and may resemble mushrooms
Growing on a living beech tree in Epping Forest. As far as I can tell this is a species of Ganoderma, probably Ganoderma applanatum.
Bracket Fungus common name "Dryads Saddle" (Polyporus squamosus). So named for its saddle shape. The name Dryads Saddle refers to creatures from Greek Mythology (see Wikipedia)
This bracket fungus was found growing on a rotting stump in Ashridge Forest, west of Beacon Road, Ringshall, Hertfordshire oppposite Dockey Wood.
Looking for an ID. I love the red drops, which aren't typical of the possible species. Stacked photo. Bola Creek, Royal NP, Australia.
Birch Bracket Fungus / piptoporus betulinus. Morley, Derbyshire. 07/10/20.
'UNDERSIDE.'
A very impressive bracket fungus I found in early October growing out from a dead Silver Birch trunk. Not quite the largest I've ever come across (width of about 24cms), but certainly one of the most attractive with that thick, rounded, undulating margin.
With it’s typical uniform train of JB Hunt double stacks, NS 21G sprints west on the “Water Level Route” towards the setting sun as it split’s one of the several remaining bracket signals on this portion of the line with Waterloo, Indiana in the distance. This train would become one of BNSF’s Q-NYCLAC trains in Chicago and traverse the former Santa Fe mainline across the rest of the United States to California, making it a truly “transcontinental” train.
The little monument in the middle is bracketed by the other two.
I admit that we have been watching "Dark Winds" on TV, a show about Navajo Nation Police. It has reminded us a lot of our brief trip to Monument Valley.
To live here would be extremely challenging. It is scenic and interesting to visit, but stark and definitely not lush. It makes you appreciate what people went through to make this place their home.

The old bracket post signal at Deshler...the slide scanner did not like the "gray ghost" paint, but you get the general idea.

Simple, aerobic organisms (such as mildews, molds, mushrooms, smuts, toadstools, and yeast) which (1) unlike bacteria can grow in low moisture and low pH environments, and have their genetic material bound in a membrane, (2) unlike plants do not have roots or leaves, do not contain chlorophyll, and do not produce their own food, but obtain nourishment from dead organic matter.

This shot was taken during my most recent session in the Adda river, along with Those unspoken words between us and Yes, yes... Look up!.
It was an unusual morning, full of surprises. The feast of colours occurred almost an hour before the official time for sunrise; I assume that it was due to the clouds being at a very high altitude. It was lucky that I was ready for that surprise time, albeit still walking towards the chattering banks of the river.
When I took this exposure bracketing, the early colourful moment was at its climaxing point; I had just captured an interesting dialogue between the sky and the humble gold of the buttercups in a nearby field, practically on the other side of the towpath (Those unspoken words between us). There was no time to move to another spot; all I could do was walk to the other side of the towpath, position my tripod, and shoot two or three exposure bracketings, one of which badly blurred (hurry, hurry up!). And alas, the heavenly fires were gone. After that fleeting, glorious explosion of rosy and purple light, the mood of the day progressed rather linearly towards a quiet morning bathed in a soft, veiled light that, combined with the mists from the river, lent the place a somehow ethereal mood. More photos about this evolution are to come in due time - which means in a long time, given my current state of physical and mental exhaustion.
It is always extremely satisfying to capture a sunrise, even when it is unsatisfying from a photographic standpoint. At the bare minimum, it means that I have had a little peaceful time in a nice location. You cannot really foresee what a new sunrise is going to offer. I remember slow, lazy, almost endless sunrises, and some gray, dull ones. I have also experienced some fleeting sunrises, lasting the time one needs to think, "oh, wow...". This one was of this kind, and ahead of schedule on top of that. I doubt anyone notified the sun about the proper time of sunrise that morning, lol. It might have easily been missed. I was lucky, and this is the best shot I have taken at that sunrise proper. I am not entirely satisfied with it, but I suppose I should be happy with what I got since I risked getting nothing at all...
I wish you all a good weekend!

I have obtained this picture by blending an exposure bracketing [-2.0/-1.0/0/+1.0/+2.0 EV] by luminosity masks in the Gimp (EXIF data, as usual, refer to the "normal exposure" shot). Along the journey - post-processing always is a journey of discovery to me - I tried the inverted RGB blue channel technique described by Boris Hajdukovic. It revealed many fine details in the clouds that previously had looked like a rather amorphous glow. I desaturated this layer a lot since colours didn't need any boost - indeed, I was struggling to keep that colourful sky at bay.
As usual, I gave the finishing touches with Nik Color Efex Pro 4 and played a bit with dodging and burning.

It is also named as Shelf Fungi, are among the many groups of fungi that comprise the phylum Basidiomycota. Characteristically, they produce shelf- or bracket-shaped fruiting bodies called conks that lie in a close planar grouping of separate or interconnected horizontal rows. Brackets can range from only a single row of a few caps, to dozens of rows of caps that can weigh several hundred pounds.
They are mainly found on trees (living and dead) and coarse woody debris, and may resemble mushrooms. Bracket fungi often grow in semi-circular shapes, looking like trees or wood. They can be parasitic, saprotrophic, or both.
Some species of bracket fungi are cultivated for human consumption or medicinal use.They can also be used as a wick in an oil/fat lamp.

Only 20 kilometres from the centre of Stockholm lies one of the most unspoilt areas of natural beauty in central Sweden – Tyresta National Park and Nature Reserve.
D744 with four cars is "heading for the barn" as a conductor who held that same local job out of Dayton for many years used to say. The bracket CPL signal and its companion dwarf at North Troy continue to guard the interlocking for the time being.
With a pair of clean CN General Electric ES44AC units, an NS 32D train rolls past the classic New York Central-style bracket post signals on the "Water Level Route" at Dunlap, Indiana.
Alas, these vintage signals were replaced later in 2015 as part of a project to add a third main track between Goshen and Elkhart in order to reduce a traffic bottleneck on that section.
