Putting the Fun in Fungi

Fungus growing from a dead tree

Dropping off and picking up my daughter from school each morning, I spied this rather large fungus growing out of a ten foot high tree stump. It had been repurposed to attach a supporting cable for a nearby utility pole. It was just high enough to avoid tampering, so it survived untouched for quite a while.

Close up, the image takes on an abstract quality. As is my usual practice, I also took several exposures with my iPhone 4S...
