Funguary Week 1 - Decay

Hosted by @feefal

Schizophyllum commune aka the Splitgill mushroom is a wood decaying fungus capable of degrading polyurethane, a common household material found in everything from foam sealant, shoe soles, and furniture such as cushions and mattresses.

Not only does it have the ability to turn polyurethane into a clean, organic matter, but its mycelium has also been found to make sustainable substitutes for plastic packaging.

Some gorgeous splitgills that were very difficult to photograph, hanging above me while I was standing on slick rocks at the edge of the creek. And what I think are some young, unopened birds nests.

The splitgill mushroom for funguary! I loved the textures on these guys!
