Wow! Almost more fungus than stump at this point! What a beautiful formation. 🤍 One of the largest I've ever seen.

A Tree Killer

Polypores, also known as bracket or shelf fungi, sprouting about 20 feet (6 m) up on a tree in a shady corner of the Gardens by the Bay. Photo credit: Eleanor Chua.

Most Polypores are said to consume the wood of the trees they inhabit, eventually leading to the death of the infected trees, quite unlike those soil-dwelling species that actually play an important role in nutrient cycling and carbon dioxide absorption by forest ecosystems.

Round 3 will begin tomorrow! Surprisingly, more people wanted closest relatives to be matched up this round (which was voted against for round 1). I paired the very closest first and worked backwards from there, so some of the matchups aren’t particularly close. The polls will be posted in no particular order.

Here’s something I drew, which I’m including for no particular reason other than attention✌️

Leif

"Leif is one of the protagonists of Bug Fables, they're a cordyceps fungus inside a moth host. They've been in some other tournaments (notably the graveyard gambit tourney, for zombie characters). There are other cordyceps in Bug Fables but since Leif is a protagonist they're the most qualified for polls in general. They're an ice wizard who uses plural pronouns (we/us/our), has Fungus Autism(m), and their favorite things are food, cute creatures, and card games. They had a wife and kids, they don't know what glasses are, and sometimes they speak in keysmashes. Not to be biased but they're the best character ever made” - Submission 46

“*slaps roof of moth* This mans is SO full of 'shroom (which is. A major spoiler for the game, but hey! He's a fungus (cordyceps) and I lobve himb)" - Submission 67

"He may not look like a fungus, but he's actually a moth zombie reanimated by Cordyceps fungus. He is both bug and mushroom:)” - Submission 104

"Lief sweep let's gooooo" - Submission 139

Caduceus

"He heals wounds with fungus and makes tea from dead people which is, like, basically what mushrooms do" - Submission 97

"my sweet son. my baby boy. love and cherish him" - Submission 136
