I came across this Pheasant's Back mushroom while scouting in the woods last week looking for subjects and specimens last week. I had no idea of how complex the building structure of this mushroom was until I viewed in through the camera's magnification.

Mother Nature designed this mushroom with an amazing network of inner connecting mazes which not only shows her beauty it shows her engineering mastery.

This is a focus stacked image taken with the camera and lens setup shown in my other recent posts.

As always, thanks in advance to all who view and for your comments, suggestions, questions and critique.

Not an expert and maybe yours is the same but I thought a Pheasant Back Fungus looked like this.

I believe that you are correct and I miss identified it. I've since been told that it is most likely belongs in the family of Trametes that live on dead trees. I'm lucky that I don't pick and make meals out of wild mushrooms! Better that I get mine in a can at the local grocery store.
