The Orange Grove
Among the fallen timber of an Australian forest floor, a colony of Orange Porecap fungi emerges in extraordinary miniature, each cap about a centimetre wide, yet carrying an architecture of breathtaking complexity. The central specimen reveals a surface tessellated with raised oval cells arranged in concentric rings, giving it the uncanny silhouette of a solitary tree in full canopy.
