PHOTO LOG


(page 15)

 

five thin, roughly disc-shaped floppy fungi on the side of a log, with black centers, dusty black edges, and spotted vibrant orage coloration elsewhere. there seem to be some more protuberance-ish mushrooms of similar coloration on the back of the log   close up of the orange-and-black fungi, one in center right of frame, one in each left corner (the bottom one partial), a bit of one in the top right corner   similar floppy disk mushrooms on a smaller log, these with a smoother color gradient: dark in center to a pale orangey-brown to pale beige at the edges   close up of some kind of rough-surfaced dome on wood, with fuzzy attachment edge. not sure if fungus or egg sac   curled up dried leaf resing on moss, some some stubby tubular boils extending from its spine. fungal? not sure, but took the picture in case they were.   a pale brown mushroom cap, split open so that a sliver of gills is visible   millipede running on road surface, pairs of legs moving together in alternating directions   ghost pipe flower in soft focus (freaky goth white-and-black tulip looking plant that saps its nutrition from fungal rhyzome networks rather than using sunlight, for the unaware)   a stacked pair of deattached beige shelf fungi, fairly orderly pattern of small, slightly darkened spots radiating from their centers   mottled patches of bright white fungus on a cut log (wood rot?)   blobby looking, thick, pale orange shelf fungi atop wood   several little spotted puffball fungi in a bark crevasse   Shrine for a lego pirate minifigure constructed of fungal chunks and sticks on top of a large shelf fungus. Some plasticky looking gold and crystal loot is scatttered about the floor fungus chunk around the pirate. Resting on the shrine structure is a wooden plaque, painted black, engraved with a compass rose, the word WARNING, and the letters U N K V upside-down vertically.   Close-up of the pirate figure. Perhaps this isn't exactly a shrine, after all- one of its arms and one of its legs are bound in a plasticky silver chain.   A spider plant resting, extending by ts stem from its unseen parent, on a rough-looking wooden windowsill. It has three open white flowers along the stem, and two unopened. To its right in the far foreground are the leaves of a mother-of-thousands succulent.   A large sawfly (easily mistaken for a wasp, as I did) standing on sidewalk pavement, a pigeon horntail. Its head, thorax, and upper legs are deep red to burent orange, while its abdomen is black with pale yellow markings. Its wings are black and the rest of its legs also pale yellow. It has a deep red rod (apparently not ovipositor) protruding from under the end of its abdomen. The full-size picture is barely bigger than the thumbnail because my phone wouldn't focus well, sorry.   Cicada, with fresh pale copper skin and pale green-laced wings, perching on a tree next to two moulted shells. One of them might have been its.   Another cicada on another tree, similar in coloration but with more vibrant green wing lacing, perching just to the right of the moulted skin I had just seen it crawl out of   View from inside a rain and dust-spotted window with a strikingly lit grasshopper clinging on the outside. Its forelegs are arranged in a dabbing position.   Broken log with two protuberances sticking out near its broken end at left frame. In center frame, between and to the right of the protuberances, is a large patch of foliose lichens, pale greens, greys, and cyans. Behind the log in softer focus are mossy ground and various pieces of driftwood.
