#SnagTree

#ThickTrunkTuesday
This 2nd growth #DouglasFir #SnagTree is still standing after many wild Westcoast storms. Snag trees are essential for healthy #forest #ecosystems. They provide food, shelter/habitat for wildlife & their roots are still connected to family of forest trees, mutually aiding each other.

A towering, weathered, Douglas fir tree dominates the image, featuring a rugged trunk & gnarled branches extending outward. The scene is captured in black and white, enhancing the intricate textures of the tree's bark and the surrounding foliage. Dense undergrowth and other trees are visible in the background, contributing to the tranquil yet wild atmosphere of the forest.

When it's too early for flowers, but warmer than freezing, you might find beautiful #mushrooms... Not just on the forest floor, but rising up, between old bark and rotting wood, #fungi breaking down matter, both horizontally and vertically. #snagtree #decomposition #mushtodon

An upshot of fungi growing from a dead snag tree. The fungi form a series of slightly overlapping discs. They have no visible stems. The underside is all beige gills that meet at the point where the fungi grows from the tree.
