A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Slime mold and/or fungi growing on the exposed stump surface of a recently felled dead or dying coconut tree (2nd photo).
The coconut (Cocos nucifera) tree had been growing in a large yard & garden in the equatorial tropics of northern New Guinea.
I had the tree, in fact, two coconut trees felled as a precautionary measure. Dead or dying, they were both struck by lightening in the same storm and probably the same bolt.
