There are many reasons that I love fungi.
I have featured them many times on this blog.
When one sees mushrooms, brackets and their kin
we know that something is dead or dying.
Beauty in death? Yes.
Everything must die.
Fungi takes the valuable organic molecules and recycles them back
to a usable form.
Decomposition is a renewing process.
I think these weeping conks are beautiful.
The dying tree is all ready sharing the wealth it harvested from the sun
during its growing years.
Giving back to its neighbors as it declines.
Beautiful isn’t it?

It certainly is. A perfect circle.

Beautiful, indeed. I like the recycling observation and the scale given by the 5p coin

I try to carry a coin in my pocket just to show scale. If I forget, I use my hand or my shoe.
I wanted my readers to appreciate the size of these. They are as big as hats.
