EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Colin Varndell showcases the vibrant and diverse world of Many-coloured polypore fungi, also known as Many-zoned polypore (Coriolus versicolor) bracket fungi. Taken in Wiltshire, UK in November 2010, this image captures the essence of European nature at its finest. The intricate details of these botanical wonders are beautifully displayed in this photograph. The variously colored tiers of the fungus create a mesmerizing display against the backdrop of an autumn English tree stump. Each tier represents a different zone, adding to the biological complexity and charm of this species. While their colors may be eye-catching, it is important to note that these fungi are not edible and serve primarily as saprophytes – organisms that decompose dead organic matter. However, they possess medicinal properties that have been recognized for centuries. Colin Varndell's expertise in capturing natural beauty shines through in this remarkable shot. His keen eye for detail allows us to appreciate the intricacies and unique characteristics found within our own environment. This print serves as a reminder of Britain's rich biodiversity and highlights the importance of preserving our natural habitats. It is a testament to both Varndell's skill as a photographer and nature's ability to inspire awe and wonderment.
