Hi Trekkers,

When I saw this scene on an old conifer log with the species Forked Staghorn (Calocera furcata (Fr.) Fr.), the 1st time in my life, it reminded me to a micro-choir with the micro-maestro (hence the title). The species is much more rare than the well-known Yellow Staghorn (C. viscosa, my photo on TN), and although both grow exclusively in coniferous forest, their ecological needs differ. Calocera furcata's only growing on big-sized logs / trunks, which are rotting on the ground from a few years, while C. viscosa has a more ruderal lifestyle, growing on fallen small branches, cones, even in needles. That's the reason why C. furcata, although widespread and is having circumboreal distribution, is considered rare and endangered everywhere.

Photo was shot in the Gougane Barra Forest Park, in full sunshine what I got in the spruce forest for a few seconds only. That's the reason of using ISO 80, f/4.5 and 1/250 sec. in a rather shady forest. Fruitbodies were growing on a fallen log above the swamp. No PP was necessary except cropping and re-sharpening after re-sizing to the TN standard.

Thanks for looking.

Hi Laszlo,fantastic pic showing this curious species,like yellow hands coming from the ground,a very lucky meeting and the best way to take it! About my tunisian butterfly,i understand that the blurred leaf isn't good to see,but i was with an organized group and no time to make better. Have a nice day and thanks,Luciano
