Trametes versicolor frills and flares, nature's whirling dervishes.  
Ruffled soft pencil shavings, striated moths' wings.  
Velvet ripples, they beg for tactile exploration, though I resist.  
Acid lime and seina and sepia tones draw me in, an announcement:  
something still yet grows in the damp shadows of this forest floor.
