Without Wings - a photo on Flickriver

Without Wings

earth-bound mushrooms...no idea what kind, but I liked the composition and the out-of-focus echoes.

After a bit of tough going on the mushroom identification front, I think I have an ID on this - it's probably a Fomes fomentarius or commonly known as the Tinder Fungus, Hoof Fungus, Tinder Polypore or Ice Man Fungus because Ötzi the 5000-year-old Iceman found in the Italian Alps was carrying pieces of this same mushroom. It was commonly used as tinder for fire making.
