It's a crazy one isn't it.

 

I turned the log round slightly to get better shots.

The original orientation was with the older bigger bracket facing slightly down and to the side, not up as in the shots.

I can only think that the waves of the new surface are being created by the need to shelf horizontaly but also to try & cling to the under side of the parent bracket.

 

Poor confused little gano layer

Nice , how crazy can they get . In the playground of the school, where my wife used to work, was a poplar trunk with G. lipsiense on it. Over the years, the trunk was turned over several times with the result, that in the end the newly formed brackets were attached to the original parent FB's in seven different positions or directions.

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 .
