Fungus Art

Fungus Art 

Dr Abe V Rotor

Silence is all I hear, save a gnawing fungus on the wall;

No, that is mine, I said, you will ruin my humble painting;

Wind and rain, cruel glare of sunlight and all join the fray. 

Years passed.  Look! a masterpiece rose from its hiding.  

Fungal mycelia ramify over a section of a wall mural painted by the 

author in 2016. The mycelia spread at a corner crossing over an image 

of a boa  constrictor coiled around a tree limb, adding a queer effect to 

the composite scene. 

Fungal mycelia scale a tree painted on the wall in a mysterious 

design,  an example of joint expression of Nature and man.
