EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Frank Sommariva showcases the True Tinder Polypore fungus, scientifically known as Fomes fomentarius, thriving at the base of a fallen Common Beech or European Beech tree in Hainich National Park, Thuringia, Germany. The image captures the intricate details of this higher fungus species belonging to the Basidiomycota division. The fallen beech tree provides a perfect habitat for this unique fungus, which is also referred to as tinder conk or hoof fungus due to its historical use as fire-starting material. Its presence adds an intriguing element to the surrounding woodland scenery and highlights nature's ability to recycle and repurpose even in death. The composition of the photograph emphasizes both the delicate beauty and resilience of this polypore fungus. Against a backdrop of decaying wood and vegetation, it stands out with its distinctive shape and coloration. The upside-down position of the fallen beech tree further accentuates nature's unpredictable yet harmonious balance. Sommariva's expert photography skills capture every detail with precision - from the texture on the surface of Fomes fomentarius to each individual pore that releases spores into its surroundings. This stunning image invites viewers into a world where fungi play an essential role in forest ecosystems while showcasing Mother Nature's artistic prowess. Overall, this print serves as a reminder that even in life's final stages, beauty can still flourish amidst decay – offering us insight into our own impermanence within nature's grand cycle.
