@dkellogg Thank you, David.

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Great textures.

[Susan Wakely]

I am guessing that this invasion of fungi is on a dead tree. Nice detail.

[Phil Howcroft]

is the fungi good for the tree mags ?

[haskar]

They look very nice but it means that the tree is weakened.

[Corinne C]

a very nice capture of this interesting tree.

[Shutterbug]

Love the interesting fungi on the trunk. Did the tree still look healthy?

[~*~ Jo ~*~]

Lovely find and capture

[FBailey]

Happy New Year! I have never seen a tree this covered before

[Kathy A]

It sure makes that trunk look attractive

[Mags]

@mittens Thank you, Marilyn.

@wakelys Thank you, Susan. I'm not sure if the tree is dead or not. I'll know this spring if no new leaves pop out.

@phil_howcroft The tree is probably sick. I'm guessing!

@haskar Thank you so much, Haskar. I'm sure you're right.

@corinnec Thank you very much, Corinne.

@shutterbug49 Thank you! I'm not sure since it has no leaves right now.

@ziggy77 Thank you, Jo.

@fbailey Thank you very much. I've never seen this fungi on an upright tree before.

@kjarn Thank you, Kathy.

[Antonio-S]

This winter i see this in trees, walls, floor, etc

[LManning (Laura)]

They could be barnacles. Hope the tree survives!

[Mags]

@antonios Thanks so much, Antonio.

@ljmanning Thank you, Laura. I'll have to go look at it and see if it looks like it will survive.

[KoalaGardens🐨]

[Bill Ososki]

Fungus among us, lovit

[Kerry McCarthy]

Very pretty capture of the fungi. Nature's way of decomposing dying things, I guess.
