An old, plastic-laminated table has been out in our garden for many years. A week ago my wife drew my attention to a very unusual-looking fungus on the back, top edge of the table top. That yielded many images and will be featured later this week.
When I got in close, I could see that a rather different, and even more photogenic, species was growing as colonies along the bottom, rear edge. So far, I have been unable to identify the species, in spite of its very distinctive brown spines. Like the other two species it is a resupinate (crust) fungus, with the structures inverted, the parts which would normally be the cap in contact with the substrate.
The first part shown was about 10mm across. At this magnification I used my Schneider HM 40 at f16 and x1.5 TC combo (FOV 6mm wide). For the lower magnifications I used the Olympus 4/3 digital 50mm f2, sometimes with the matching x2 TC, effective or actual aperture f11 or f9. All were lit with triple TTL flash with the EM-1 in manual mode, hand-held.
The stereos are crosseye.
