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

Spain: Arrival Madrid
I look upon international coach air travel as slow torture. Put me on a long enough flight and I’ll tell you anything, promise you anything, simply to disembark. A large part of my view on this comes from being tall with long legs and the airlines shrinking the spacing between rows to get as many of us “cattle” as possible on a plane. Such flights are the only times…
Along the way, 60
Maggie pausing to take in the beach experience, Myrtle Beach, SC. She loves the beach! Lots of shadows and reflections in this iPhone photo…it handled it pretty well.
Fall Colors 2024 – Returning Home
We left Oswego, New York, and enjoyed the scenic backroads for two and a half days. Our journey took us south-southwest through New York into Pennsylvania, then south-southeast through West Virginia and Maryland to Virginia, near Richmond. Finally, we headed west-southwest toward our home in Charlotte, North Carolina. Somewhat strangely, autumn colors were only beginning…
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.
