I am a fanatic about fungus and photograph them whenever I can. My nieces and nephews now refuse to walk in the woods with me because I stop to fuss over every fungus. Now Willow the Golden Retriever is stuck with waiting fairly patiently for me to finish a photo session when we go tramping around our woods. I found this specimen very fascinating with its folds of flesh reaching out beyond its host, a fallen tree. And is that sort of a face at the base?!
And then I fooled around with the colors in Photoshop and produced this futuristic fantasy of a fungus.

P.S. Here is the song that may be the foundation of my fascination with fungus. I think as kids we drove everyone nuts with the inanity of this one!

Funny song. Fighting and Fungus' It doesn't take much to create a song.
ReplyDeleteFungus... a great F-word! I like how you played with your photo. :)
ReplyDeleteI am not really old enough to have heard this song first hand, yet it seems familiar!
ReplyDeleteI personally hate to eat mushrooms, but, like you, I love to check out fungi in the woods.
I don't know one from the other in the FOREST, so I hope I never have to FORAGE there!
