Description

I saw this on my first day visiting my sister Leslie in New York City. When I saw it I thought of Andrea and all her beautiful (and sometimes not totally beautiful, but very interesting) images of fungi. I posted mushrooms from Louisiana and now here is some kind of fungus from New York. I really need to find some in Texas. Happy Birthday, Andrea! Have a fantastic and fun filled day!

This tree is obviously a great host, perhaps he throws a good party.

They remind me of barnacles in some way. Thankyou so much, Lucinda!

I believe those are a species of bracket fungi (related to mushrooms) or something similar. Y'know, it's amazing what you pick up when you are stuck in the middle of nowhere on survival training! mostly squirrels in your backpack

This is really a great photo Lucinda, and it brought so many thoughts to mind. First that your never without your camera. lol And most important that you never stop thinking about your friends no matter where you are or what your doing and that says so much about you as a person. This is a very caring and thoughtful birtday dedi to your friend, as only you could come up with.

yes, wonderful capture for Andrea's birthday, she really does love fungi and other micro colonies. And I really like the pattern it makes along the bark. It's like little balconies. (And btw, does a NYC fungus go, "yo! duuuude!" or "fuggeddabbouddit! Owww!") (It could happen!) Lovely gift for Andrea, and I agree she shows us a lots of wonderful nature. Fine gift, Lucinda. And Happy Birthday, Andrea!

Beautiful image of mushrooms for the birthday Andrea! This year, perhaps because of the humidity mushrooms have sprung up everywhere. even in my garden!

Strange fungi. Nevertheless, a very apt photo for Andrea to ponder over during her birthday, Lucinda.

Hmmm, I haven't seen this kind before...I am in upstate New York, wish I had known that you were going to visit your sister, would have been grand to meet in person:-) You couldn't have picked a more perfect image for Andrea, she is so connected to everything earth! Beautiful shot Lucinda!

I know this is some kind of shelf fungus, but beyond that, I don't really know the breed. They remind me of crenelated pistachio shells, only bigger! Some of them look like candy. I love these things. I saw an interesting specimen while moving dental equipment (hmmm, why does that not surprise me) but I couldn't photograph it as I was working. Ugh. Anyway, this more than makes up for what I missed! I love shelf fungus textures, and the colors are always amazing. I'm sure you have them in Texas. If they're anything like the ones in the upper levels of the Midwest, they're probably all over the lower trunks of Cottonwood trees, if they're shady and moist. At least that's where I always found them at my maternal grandparents' home...there were some excellent specimens there: as big as dinner plates! These pistachio-shell beauties are just as intriguing, and yeah, gorgeous, and they're a perfect gift/dedication to Andrea.

Fantastic capture and although they are all the same type of fungi - they all look different. Which is so cool. Dana

These are fungi with an attitude so of course you found them in New York. Very cool and a perfect gift for Andrea. San Antonio may be too dry for these, like Southern California.
