p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Fuscoporia ferruginosa, Rusty Porecrust, with Stereo


The fungus illustrated here is typical of a group commonly found in habitats such as the undersides of rotten logs. The collective group is called the resupinate fungi. Essentially, this means that they form flat sheets of tissue over the surface of their wooden substrate. You might think that they are Ascomycetes but they are more closely related to the Basidomycetes, the familiar mushrooms and toadstools. It is all based on how they produce and release their spores.

I have taken quite an interest in this group, photographically anyway. I previously posted some images of one of the more colourful ones:

and another one which seems to have attracted no interest:

https://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/1336342/

This is one of the honeycomb-like ones of the Poroid group of resupinates. Others of the group have less-angular openings.

I found this fungus under a well-rotted, somewhat crumbly, willow log in my garden.

Aware that the three-dimensional form of these, if only on an almost microscopic scale, may not be evident from an image, I decided to try a stereo pair. It came out rather better than I expected and I present a cross-eye and a conventional version.

Some of these images, and others not posted, very much remind me of stalagtites.

EM-1, Kiron 105mm, f11 1/320 ISO 400, twin RC TTL flash, hand-held. All at ca. 1:1.

And here are the stereos.

The first one is fun if viewed as a cross-eye.

The 4th image for me Harold. The stereo is not doing much for me when I cross my eyes. Not that 3d looking

Thanks Morris.

The best 3D for that pair is if you lean back, away from the screen.

Thanks, Brian.

It is interesting how forgiving stereo can be. For example, the horizontal spike on the right side of the frame is cropped off in one frame but this is not apparent in the combined image. (In this case, I could get it back in with manual alignment).
