As penance for my deprecating remarks about the sumac tree and to show my arborist beliefs are egalitarian, I'm going to trumpet the beauty of tree fungi.
When I walk through our woods, I'm always on the lookout for interesting fungi. I'm never disappointed.
The photo shows a fungus which I removed from a tree, shellacked it and now use as bric-a-brac on our front-porch coffee table. (The coffee table is an old chicken coop. It's an East Tennessee thing, folks.)
Hail to tree fungi, I say.
There must be a fungus among us.
