Sulfur Polypore September 2019 |
||||
|
||
| Beside a seasonal creek, a sulfur polypore blooms. | ||
|
||
| This one usually appears every September. | ||
|
||
| A tight fold where two lobes expanded and met. | ||
|
||
| It reminds me of the meeting of two techtonic plates: The Pacific plate slides under the Continential plate: oceans are heavier than continents. |
||
|
||
| What I find fascinating is seeing such a defined "foot" extending from inside the tree. |
||
|
||
| This "foot" taps into the heartwood of the tree drawing nutrients to sustain it. | ||
|
||
| As a polypore matures, the undersides of its lobes "sweat" a clear liquid. | ||
|
||
| Wonder what it tastes like? | ||
|
||
| A happy time, for the emergence of this polypore announces the Fall season. | ||
