A rather too big pine tree was cut down at the back of my garden last year. Fungi have been eating the stump in various waves.
As the fungi digest the sugars in each ring of the tree, they grow a little bit. What results is a mushroomogram of the tree rings, a series of spreading fungi with rings, quite like the rings of the old tree. It's quite uncanny.
The fungi are fungipomorphizing the tree.
