Title: Tile Fungus
Post by: Shortsighted on October 25, 2024, 02:10:07 PM
As everyone knows, ceramic tile, or clay tile can serve as a substrate for fungal growth.  Well, I discovered a line of amber-coloured fungus growing on a log in the Rouge and therefore I took a photo of it.  That got me thinking about fungi in general, including tile fungus.  I therefore used some digital filters to create some tile fungus by transforming the log fungus into a rendered print and then shaping the print into a tile pattern.  Voila, the outline of fungal fruiting bodies as a motif for a tiled wall accent.  A different kind of tile fungus for sure.  Put this ins your tiled shower and you might not even see the real fungus on the grout.  I always say there's nothing like a good distraction.
