Here it looks like it is, fungi on a tree stump!
A closer peak and you can see the stripes and whorls and texture, a little fuzzy but pine cone-like? Sadly, it also reminds me of swirls of bacon (<---always hungry for bacon!)
The cold setting makes the fungus remind me of stone, like an agate!
It's so ruffly! Icing on a cupcake or an autumn tu-tu?
I like this detail and angle.
Pure texture here. Makes me think of something Martian/alien; a mars'-scape.
This one made me think of stylistic Chinese clouds.
Just likin' the lichen! Reminds one of coral sea reef.
...with sea urchins!
Lots of them! on a stony ocean floor.
Moss/sea urchin city!
Monolithic acorn caps!
The colors, Duke!
Just stumped by the texture. A bit circle labyrinthian.

I love fungi! In the redwoods i used to teach kids about decomposers, the FBI (Fungus, Bacteria, Invertebrates)and go for fungus hikes. Your first few photos i know as "turkey tail". And lichen is amazing, you wouldn't believe it! thanks for sharing!
Great post! I love your various takes on the same image. And yes, that really does remind me of bacon too!
Love the Pattern! O,so your are of Chinese origin ?? :O
I'm 3/4 Chinese, 1/4 Japanese, and "Made" in Hong Kong. :>:>
@liz: Ooh! Thanks for the IDing of the fungus! Learning is a good thing! Isn't lichen edible? It's like nature's cotton candy!
@Sylvana: Thanks for fanning me! Glad you like the images and there's no escaping bacon and it's infinite presence (or our ability to see/crave it from anywhere) is there?!?!
@VeryFatPiggy: Nature is just so photogenic, why can't we all be that way? :( Yep, my parents are from Taiwan, and I consider it Chinese, though some Taiwanese might say otherwise. I'm too culturally sideways to know better. Wow, you've got a lot of culture in your background! *sigh* the Chinese Japanese thing gets complicated sometimes doesn't it? I wish we could all get along, but my mom has issues because her mom lived during a difficult time in Taiwan. Either way, I think it's cool you family got together and you're a great representative of both worlds!
