Along the bike path I came across this interesting thing on the ground. It's hard to tell without a reference, but it is about 10 inches in diameter. It is a tree stump onto which a fungi know as "Turkey Tail" has thoroughly and completely covered. This fungi is like the cleanup commitee as it feeds off of decomposing trees.
I think it's fascinating the way it grows around and around. It's almost pretty - like a wooden flower - or maybe I'm just desperate for any sign of spring.
At least there's bare ground - that's some hope anyway.
