Adding a few photos that may (or may not) fit the category...

I think I recognize that huge burl. Is that the one on the NPT between Cedar Lakes and West Canada Lakes? Biggest one I have ever seen.

Just a little further south along the old path to Beaudry Brook & Jones Brook near Calamity Brook (a.k.a. Wagon Wheel Brook). That burl seems to get bigger every year.

The fungi appears to be a Varnish Conk, either Ganoderma tsugae or G. lucidum. Some call it Ling Chih, (mushroom of immortality), and is much sought after by some.

Thanks for ID Geogymn.

I wasn't sure what it was called, but would've bet the farm it was poisonous.
Here's a couple more photos of that same fungi:

Drinking tea made from that type of mushroom right now! Love those pics, definitely one of the most beautiful of ADK fungi.

Maybe not crazy, but a "burly" tree I saw last weekend.

More fungus among-us. Wilcox Lake Wild Forest

From a few years ago...don't mean to resurect an old post, but saw this picture last night going through some old files and thought I'd share.

Here's yet one more tree-on-a-rock photo... this tree caught my eye because it looked like it was resting, with its legs crossed, on the rock:

I love looking at burls and have a folder full of burl photos on my PC.

Take it easy,

Calamity Brook Knot! It does attract attention!

Wldrns · 11-26-2014, 08:04 AM

Found this while hiking in the Partnach Gorge (Partnachklamm) in Bavaria last month. Someone put the antlers there, the rest is a natural wood formation.

RichieC · 11-26-2014, 07:35 PM

THis was pointed out to me by a friend while I concentrated my shot in another direction. But then that's why they call it fishing and not catching.

Tick Magnet · 12-30-2014, 07:25 AM

This tree does cross-fit. You can tell because it's ripped.

A couple more strange trees from 2014.

Not really "crazy" trees, but I liked the blanket of snow.
