Weathered wood displays irregular rings and natural textures. The scene captures the earthy tones and organic forms found in nature. Tiny details, like scattered debris and etched lines, add depth to the composition.

By the side, there were #stumps of several felled #trees which had been left to #rot and #decay. They make a #habitat for #ferns, #lichens and #fungi.

Dead #trees are not wasted timber dollars - they are sources of food for literally thousands of beings in a #forest #ecosystem, from tiny microscopic beings to insectivorous birds. Standing dead trees are known as snags, while a fallen dead trees are nurse logs. A cut or natural stump can serve the same #ecological function as a #NurseStump.

Nature wastes nothing. If there is a nutrient source to be had, there is a being to benefit from it. Nurse logs, standing snags & nurse stumps play hosts to all sorts of mosses, lichens, fungi, insects & arthropods, many hidden deep inside, as well as other living beings that prey on them.

Nurse #stumps are still deeply rooted; new plant, tree & fungi life grows out of their tops. Nurse stumps & dead stumps that have no new growth atop are like anchor systems for living trees growing in forests. You destabilize the ecosystem when you remove them from their natural #environment.

A moss-covered stump stands in the foreground, resembling a small table, within a lush forest. Tall trees with textured bark and patches of moss rise in the background, while fallen leaves and various green plants cover the ground, contributing to the vibrant atmosphere of the woodland.

This is not progress.
This is not civilized.
We need to protect remaining #OldGrowth #AncientForests. They're our 2nd largest #CarbonSinks - after the giant kelp forests in the oceans. #Clearcutting forests should be banned.

Morning Stumps - A couple of old logging remnants on the Brother's Creek Trail this morning. I was lucky enough that my catch-my-breath spot had this view, just as sunlight poured in from the side.

A photograph of two large stumps in a forest, with sunlight illuminating them from the left. The stumps appear to be remnants from old growth logging, and are both very tall.

Specialized #stumpgrinding equipment and skilled technicians 👷‍♂️ are an amazing combination for efficiently grinding down #stumps 🌳 🔪 of any size, leaving behind nothing but #wood chips and mulch.

Rotting tree stump with fungus of different colors that resemble the beginning of a Picasso painting.

Spotting an #ill or #dangerous #tree in your #garden 🏡 is alarming and means you need to take #steps to help the tree 🌲 get better or remove it before it falls and hurts someone or damages your or your #neighbours #properties.

@Cheeseness let's create more of those #habitats --> "#Skinks enjoy large areas with a lot of leaves and soft soil. They are normally found around hot and dusty areas that have many #trees and #stumps."

So, knocking over some old Aspen stumps to make way for the goats' electric fence, I accidentally stumbled upon a wasp nest.

Note to self (and potentially others): If you ever plan on knocking over old stumps, check for any activity first. It hurts getting stung.

Also, the way they started swarming I thought it must surely be a honeybee hive. But alas, it was not.

In the red circle: Wasp entering its hive. We only see its tail.
Blue circle: The hive entrance is ground level.

Zoomed out photo of the previous photo. Red and blue circles represent same thing.

My boots are odd to the right.

Whatcha gonna do with all that junk
All that junk inside your trunk

I'ma get get get get you sunk
Hold some carbon with my stump

My stump my stump my stump my stump my stump

My stump my stump my stump my lovely wooden lumps

A tree stump in a forest in early spring.

I was really depressed seeing countless #OldGrowth #tree #stumps all over North #VancouverIsland . Like an endless graveyard of ancient forests. Hurt my #nature loving heart a lot. These are 2 of too many OG stumps scattered all over #vanisle North. They're clearcutting more of the last OGs on North Island as I type. These are #CrimesAgainstHumanity & #ecocide crimes by #BCNDP #NewDeathParty & enablers.

Deer Shield / Mushroom! (Pluteus cervinus)

The Deer Shield is a #wood-rotting fungus that occurs mainly on hardwood #stumps. This fungus can appear at any time from late #spring through to late #autumn.

Although its caps are usually fawn or light brown, like the coat of a young #deer (referred to as a 'fawn' regardless of its colour!), some authorities say that the common name comes not from the #brown colour of the #cap but from antler-like horn-shaped protrusions on apex of the gill-face #cystidia (known as pleurocystidia) that can be seen under a #microscope!
