The bark of this giant tree that had fallen across the road and been cut in two, then left with the chunk covering the road removed, became a host for other plants and fungi to thrive on.

Just a few blocks away, we found this other bark—this one less welcoming to intruders.
For the Travel theme “bark!”
In the rain forests of the Pacific Northwest, they call fallen logs that host other plants and fungi “nurse logs.” I always thought that was a particularly appropriate label! Love the mushroom shot!
