Bracket Fungi - A Natural Abstract

Bracket Fungi - A Natural Abstract
Taken in my back garden. This fungi are growing on the decaying stump of an old apple tree. I was struck by the abstract nature of it when getting really close up.

Go large for best effect if you wish. Thanks for looking..............and have a great weekend..!!

You have made a really beautiful picture of the fungi Keith! A fabulous close-up.
You are so good at these unusual shots!
I didn't go where I was hoping to go today, but met my daughter up in Shaftesbury, where it snowed quite hard!

Take care and have a good weekend.

Superbe ! Trés bonne idée. Certains champignons de souche sont trés bons, mais je ne sais pas les identifier. Mais peut être faites vous comme nous. Nous adorons les champignons qui sont comestibles mais nous ne touchons pas a ceux qui poussent dans notre jardin. (Nous avons passé un accord de bonne entente) Amicalement. Jean Paul

Hi Keith! I saw this on Explore and had to dive in for a closer look and a big virtual hug and hello! This is just SMASHING! :) What a find! I've never seen this bracket fungus stacked up like this before or, if I have, it's never been perfect enough for a picture. Awesome cropping too. I just love this. You can really see the combination of velvety and smooth appearance too, as well as the gorgeous colors. No wonder it's also called "turkey tail" fungus! :) Nice job. Hope you're doing well my friend, you're always close in my thoughts! I do apologize for not coming by for more visits. I know you understand though! Take care of yourself!

I'm pleased you like this shot. I've been waiting for the fungi on the tree stump to grow big enough for a decent shot..........and hoping that the birds didn't destroy them!

Thank you all for leaving such lovely comments. Much appreciated :-)

Turkey tail a bracket fungi, has antioxidant qualities but I would personally see a GP.
You certainly got the eye for an opportunity shot like this Keith and quiet a gathering on one stump.

Glad you like this shot Güni..........the tree stump they were on has long since rotted away, so I won't be seeing them again.

Thanks for your lovely comments and the ID. Have a lovely evening, best wishes, Keith.
