Very lengthy fungus growing out of dead wood, La Isla Escondida, Colombia Collected by our guide and brought back to the lodge for photography. Given how thin it was, we really needed a steady surface to properly focus on it. We collected two of such species, as you can see in the closeup shots. <br /> <figure class="photo"><a href="https://www.jungledragon.com/image/71838/very_lengthy_fungus_growing_out_of_dead_wood_-_closeup_la_isla_escondida_colombia.html" title="Very lengthy fungus growing out of dead wood - closeup, La Isla Escondida, Colombia"><img src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/media.jungledragon.com/images/2/71838_thumb.jpg?AWSAccessKeyId=05GMT0V3GWVNE7GGM1R2&Expires=1770854410&Signature=8u3btw0YwHvbpaCuMikFmLutECc%3D" width="94" height="152" alt="Very lengthy fungus growing out of dead wood - closeup, La Isla Escondida, Colombia Collected by our guide and brought back to the lodge for photography.
