Bracket Fungi, Again.

Barry Kirsten in the previous post reminded me of the visual virtues of bracket fungi. Here's my attempt:

An interesting image, too. As I looked down the image I was intrigued by the bark pattern and wondered what the host species was, as many fungi are host-specific I believe. My question was answered by the caption - Banksia. I'll have to do more of these as there are many types with interesting patterns and textures. And as you pointed out previously, Maris, they cooperate nicely in windy conditions. :D
