BS Man about Palms Posted May 17, 2008 Report Share Posted May 17, 2008 Its hard to believe, but I would occasionally experience "palm overload" at the biennial, so I was looking for something different. After a while, I noticed there were lots of different "fungus" out there.... First, one of my Favorites...

BS Man about Palms Posted May 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2008 I like these... as Ashton said when he saw the "one", its neat to see the 3 stages of growth, death of plant, fungus grows on dead plant, new plant grows on fungus!

amazondk Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 Nice pictures. Around here they call them, orelha de pau, or tree ears. Fungi are a key element to rapid decomposition and recycling of nutrients back to the trees. The downside is when they start growing between your toes, or even worse between your legs. dk Don Kittelson LIFE ON THE RIO NEGRO 03° 06' 07'' South 60° 01' 30'' West Altitude 92 Meters / 308 feet above sea level 1,500 kms / 932 miles to the mouth of the Amazon River Manaus, Amazonas, Brazil - A Cidade da Floresta Where the world´s largest Tropical Rainforest embraces the Greatest Rivers in the World. .
