Dry rot fungi has occupied this space for months, however, a change is happening. Mycetoza, which are neither animal nor plant, have secretly entered the bodies of the hosts and are slowly sucking the essence out of them. With each snowy tree a sign of victory, a forest of snowy trees has formed to announce the end of the war.

Taken at Daren Experimental Forest Station in Taitung in July 2013. While on a walkway, I came across a piece of rotted wood. From a distance, I saw what looked like a clump of mold, but when I got closer, I discovered that it was actually Ceratiomyxa on the body of its host Orbiliceae. It resembles an animal during its early stages of life, moving slowly, but freely, and feeding. But, as it matures, it becomes static and releases spores to foster the next generation. The fungus absorbs nutrients through hyphae, which decompose the cellulose and lignin within the wood or the organic matter within the soil. This image was captured using a Panasonic GF1, Canon FD with 50mm f/1.8 lens, natural lighting. Contrast was strengthened using SILKYPIX software due to the light color created by the lens.
