The Elfin Ladder III: (Addendum)

Seascape on ‘Artists’ Conk’ (Shelf Fungus)

In Elfin Ladder III I disclosed that my elfin ‘ladders’ are really shelf fungi. One species of shelf fungus is the Artist’s Conk:  Ganoderma applanatum.

This seascape is painted onto an Artist’s Conk.  It’s by artist Joanne MacDonald of Nova Scotia and is exhibited on the web site of erstwhile Yorkshireman John Crabtree: Mushrooms and Wild Flowers of Nova Scotia, who very kindly gave me permission to display the work on my blog.  John’s site is a mine of information regarding the fungi and flora of Nova Scotia.

Here are links to some other fungi artists:

Deborah Everett Wildlife Artist

Enjoy!
