Tree fungus gone wild on this fallen and decaying tree trunk — a recent park walk discovery. It made me want to keep moving. ;-)

Nicely done. That’s really incredible — I’ve never seen a rotting trunk taken over to that extent.
PJ, yeah, this is the most I’ve ever seen on one trunk as well — pretty impressive.
Are you suggesting, Earl, that if some of us older guys linger too long in these spots some of the “fungus” will start growing on us? Seriously, I agree with the “keep moving” part. If you want to keep breathing, you have to keep moving. Simple chemistry and physics.
Paul, LOL, yes I think that was probably what I was insinuating — keep moving, let there be no fungus among us. ;-)
The fungus certainly created a unique pattern and appearance. Nice closer in shot.
Don, thanks. I’ve never seen this much of it on one piece of wood before.
Man, there is all kinds of stuff growing there! It always amazes me when I think about early pioneers living in homes with this stuff growing on the outside and sometimes inside. We have moved ourselves indoors so well many of us never see things such as this. I assume you have moved on into the weekend and are enjoying it. Have a great Labor Day!
Hi Monte, You’re right about so many never seeing these types of sights…really a shame in my opinion. But then, that make these sights slightly unusual and a good photographic subject. :-)
Wow, I have never seen a log that covered before. I believe this is turkey-tail fungus.
Mark, “wow” was exactly what I said when I spotted this. Thanks for the fungus ID. I’ve never seen a log covered like this before either.
