Nevermind the 'Perfect Pinkness' from that previous poem. This Astonishing fungii appeared in my backyard, appearing as mushrooms always do... unexpectedly.
It's growing on the trunk of a eucalyptus tree that was cut down a few years ago. It's amazing... but then Nature ought to keep all of us sentient beings in a constant state of amazement, if we only pay attention.

That is just amazing to look at John. Thanks for posting the picture. If I saw something like that in my garden, I'd be out drawing it!
WOW. I have mushrooms in my yard too, but they're much more ordinary looking (so ordinary that the gardener mows them down each week...but back they come). Yours are truly other-worldly!
How lovely. They look almost like polished agates, don't they?
Oh, bracket fungus, lovely! They will probably be like that for ages, they tend to dry out. In fact I think you can pick them and dry them, and use them for house decorations, but they are much prettier left where they are like this!
