most interesting; never seen fungus like this one
Beautiful... but with a hint of creepiness. I'm very impressed with your eye for composition and color. Although this is a simple image, it's expertly framed. Nice job!
Another interesting fungus for the collection, you have a fine collection.
Very interesting have not seen this type of fungus.
Superb capture Andrea. God bless.
a strange fungi for sure Great capture
What a very fascinating fungus! Great capture!
OOOh that is funny looking stuff!!
Never seen this one. What a great shot.
Zoom a must! In zoom, this is a huge meandering metallic-looking imitation of a long intestinal tract. It's just fascinating. And it takes over the whole surface. Your capture gives a lot of light to it, and very bright leaves on top and bottom---you showcased it beautifully. I like the two little "spawns" at far right---like they broke loose from the pack and are making their way, solo. A beautiful capture of a strange, convoluted all-encompassing beast. Amazing to think it's right where you live. (And I saw your flickr collection: You really get a lot of variations! And they're all exotic, otherworldly creatures as well, and it's great to see them all in one place.) An eye-popper, this.
Superb Capture
Best in zoom. A great fungi pic.
Really amazing fungy.
Okay, I came up with a cool analogy for this incredible sight on this April Fool's Day, A. What we have here is a long salami, encrusted with oodles of black worms. A great shot of a growth that can be described as both fascinating and yucky.
It probably wouldn't be very tasty on a toasted muffin.
This is a fantastic photo Andrea BUT what a superb presentation over on FlickR! Outstanding.
cool looking
Admit it, Andrea, what you found is a bunch of smashed raisins. The filigreed leaf at the bottom makes a beautiful image all by itself. I also saw your flickr page. I've said it before, you could write a book.
An interesting fungi there are lots of beech woods around here but I have never seen this one.
