The #FlickrFriday #Fall challenge
The Fall, as our American friends call it, is the main fungi season in the UK. Fungi are what they are, a distinct family in the kingdom of life, full of contradictions. They exist from the microscopic scale to one which is about 9 square km in area, thousands of tonnes in mass and has its age disputed in millennia. They sustain plants and may destroy them. They create our bread, and make it go mouldy. They provide medicines which have saved millions, but may be a serious health hazard. They may be delicacies or lethal. They are the least studied, least understood and most misunderstood of organisms. It's thought that 90% of them remain unknown to science.
These specimens appeared on a log in our garden. They seem to be Oak Bonnets, pretty much the commonest fungal species of ancient broad leafed woodland. We see only the fruiting bodies of a much larger organism concealed unseen within the log. It's like being able to see the blackberry, but not the bush; the acorn, but not the tree; the rose but not the stem. The fruiting bodies disperse spores from which the fungi of the future will emerge before withering away. But the organism has not died. It continues to grow unseen throughout the year before its fruiting bodies emerge once more.
The concealed part of the fungus is an extensive threadlike structure called mycelium, itself built of bundles of even tinier threads called hyphae (hi - fee) which, among other things, act as plant roots do, but far more efficiently. Hyphae may be one fiftieth the thickness of a plant root and a hundred times longer. Here the unseen hyphae are deploying enzymes and acids to break down cellulose and lignin which are the main constituents of wood, obtaining the nutrients they need. Fungi are among the very few organisms with this capability. Eventually these fungi and perhaps others will reduce this log to nutritious soil.
HDR was used to create this image in order to capture the stems which otherwise would have been in deep shadow.

XIN KA ER GENERIC FLATBED TRUCK MAISTO COPY 1/64
The Hot Wheels Team Transport series has been no stranger to being shamelessly copied by some Chinese toy makers but i've never seen the Maisto equivalents being knocked off before!
Drum rolls please for this Maisto Flatbed Truck copy made by Xin Ka Er who are more known for their cheapo Hot Wheels copies!
For the very low price paid its actually rather well constructed with a heady mix of metal and plastic plus decent amount of detailing and intricate premium style wheels. Like the Maisto original it doesn't appear to be based on any real truck in particular but has a modern U.S. flavoured bonneted cab design as well as a fully functioning flatbed.
Part of a two vehicle set sourced directly from China.
Mint and boxed.
