A Jewel-Like Crust Fungus Phlebia radiata

We found this on a tree stump during a fungus foray at the weekend.

The bright orange, petal-like objects are extending growth.

The stereo is crosseye.

EM-1, Olympus 4/3 50mm f2 macro at f6.3 for the first and f11 for other closeups. Daylight. for first shot, others by twin flash, hand-held.

Not a great success at first upload. It refused to load my first image properly, posting it as a footnote.

Anyway, the site seems to now offer direct hosting from computers but will not accept an image address from another host site as an upload option.

Thanks, Brian.

I note that, unlike in the previous platform, we can now edit discussion titles. (I left the 'h' out of_ Phlebia_). There seems to be a bug in the italic feature.

Just a quick test of italics in response to your report of problems.
OK, it does work, but it's fiddly. I haven't found a way yet to select text then apply bold or italic. Instead, I have to hit the format button and type the text starting at where the cursor is. I think this is a bug and needs to be reported.

Thanks, Richard. I have reported it.

What really bothers me is that I can't post my images as I want to. Out of three new "discussions" since the changes, two have failed and I abandoned the third in disgust. I had no such problem with the old website. Having struggled with it, I have abandoned posting here.

Thanks, Phil,

Some images will not display wide open and are footnotes which have to be clicked on to view.
