Habitat Piles
Tree Graveyard
Habitat piles, if undisturbed, provide very good habitat.
This is a designated area for old tree trunks. Many different species of fungi and animals can found among the trunks.
Ganoderma pfeifferii fruit body displaying geotropism.
Geotropism is the term given to when something orientates its self in relation to gravity. This photo shows the fungus, which is perennial, is turning a newer fruit body so that the pore bearing surface is down. This enables the spores to drop out by gravity.
