A fungus, like a mushroom ?

Looks like a tube of plastic padding has gone bang.

Actually it looks like one of the rocks in that cave I blogged about.

And the winner is: Trev. How on earth did you know that?

It is obviously a tinder fungus: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fomes_fomentarius

Growing out of the pottery pipe which was the home of a black snake in the past, so the snake has to find another one next to it....


and here the view from the other side

No guessing allowed!! You do not win todays prize!

My first thought was a fungus, but thought that was too obvious and assumed it was a rare geological formation.
But, am I alone in finding the apparent teeth of the black snake really, really disturbing?

What Teeth, is it not just the markings on the face, mind you maybe some on the inside.

TLR, you may need to adjust the contrast on your screen or something.

These perhaps "pretend" teeth are very clever from Mother Nature, a better image here:

Either way, I found it unnerving. Wonderful pics though, Max, thankyou.
