And here is some spalted Maple. Spalting is term for the wild shading and colors the mycelium creates as it begins to digest the wood.

And just thought it was rotting.

reply

amyb8888.bsky.social•68 days ago

I love spalted maple, prettiest wood of all!

reply

cedarsavage.bsky.social•68 days ago

This is one of the small bowls that I make. Look a bit better when they are done.

I like spalted Birch better I think.

Amy, may I borrow your picture to do my weird mushroom transformations?

amyb8888.bsky.social•68 days ago

I don’t know what you mean. If you want to use the photo somewhere, no. If you want to create some kind of artwork inspired by it, absolutely!

Looking at the ferns,this guy is a dantie.. growing from a fallen tree stump.

reply

amyb8888.bsky.social•68 days ago

Yep, it’s a fallen log. I’ve found them there three years in a row, so I go back and check it regularly during the season.

reply

poppamanman.bsky.social•68 days ago

Surene,had to look it up!!.
Sorry

reply

poppamanman.bsky.social•68 days ago

Spectacular, I'm sure it's so surine there?

reply

angie0224.bsky.social•67 days ago

Knowing my own woods, I would say those are not ferns but a type of moss generally classified as a fern moss. Makes this one even more dainty!!

reply

amyb8888.bsky.social•67 days ago

Yep, it’s moss. I missed that he wrong ferns without the word moss. Reading too quickly!
