Geotropic fungi

[David Humphries]

It did, but this was over 30 years ago and my just bought first Praktica mirror reflex camera was only used for shooting lots of pictures (slides) of my toddler daughter .

 

 

 

Fair enough, right priority......................well just about

The start of a year old failure adapting to it's new alignment and begining to become geotropic.

 

Fully expect this Phellinus igniarius to be a fantastic example, in a year or three

So we have to wait for another three years to see some results ?

Some interesting photos here. Geotropism generally refers to the directional growth either toward or away from gravity. Tropism meaning to turn and geo meaning earth, downward root growth can also be known as gravitropism. Geotropism is triggered by cell expansion due to the influence of auxins manipulating the directional growth of cell tissue. It's not that black and white but I don't want to be the one who turns this good thread into a bore fest for those who came here to see some good photos. 😁

Well............perhaps a little over three years

Should be mightily impressive in another few years......
