Piptoporus betulinus. At Tunxis Community College in Farmington, CT. This is unusual because it was growing in the ground instead of on a birch tree, which is their normal roost. Maybe the mulch is made from birch.

Seen on the Italian poplar pictured in the previous image. I haven't reached any conclusions about the identity of this one.

Example posted for Aaron Sneary, but anyone is free to rip this off. It's not mine originally; a guy at the local Lego store showed this to me a while back, and I wouldn't be surprised if someone else has used it before.

This is actually really effective, probably the tightest four-way SNOT technique I know of (other than the Travis Brick, of course). As you can see, the minimum span of the structure is 2 studs, 1 plate (12Lu, or exactly the height of two bricks) in each dimension.

The gap in the center is almost exactly the diameter of a standard rod, which is a good way to attach it to other structures. By "almost" I mean "not quite", but the discrepancy is so minor it's close to the tolerance in between bricks, and barely visible to the eye. Tight, though, as in PC-on-PC tight.

I'm really enjoying these misty mornings that create a sort of Blair Witch feeling in the middle of the woods. woooooooo!!!

I'm trying to put together a SNOT reference. Details on this technique can be found here.

Bracket fungi, on the trunk of an old dead elm. Hawick, roxburghshire, scotland.

Identification required, it was about 12" long growing on a rotting branch in leaf litter under beech and sweet chestnut trees

At Hilton Gravel Pits NR, Derbyshire.

I'm thinking it's a Birch Polypore which found its way upside down.

Love the variety of colours these come in.

DIY Flash Bracket

Ever wish for more flash power or faster flash cycle times through your umbrella?

Don’t have $100 to spend on the Lastolite TriFlash adapter? Nothing wrong with Lastolite products. They are very well made, but a student or beginning photographer may not have the extra cash for it.

If you already have a couple of extra cold shoes in your collection, you can spend about $10 for a 6 inch mending plate and a couple of 14/-20 bolts, nuts, and washers and make your own.

Strobes info:

Two Einstein strobes with softboxes. One on either side of the camera angled to minimize reflections from the smooth shiny plastic parts.

Seen on a great walk in Fish Creek Provincial Park today. This park, completely surround by the City of Calgary, is still an oasis for local flora and fauna. Never a dull moment in the park!

Bracket fungi, or 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. Some form annual fruiting bodies while others are perennial and grow larger year after year. Bracket fungi are typically tough and sturdy and produce their spores, called basidiospores, within the pores that typically make up the undersurface.

Could be Peniophora ochroleuca, if so it's rare, taken at Froggatt Edge in the Peak District and I'm waiting for a day with good weather so I can get a shot of the pores on the underside.
