Big fleas have little fleas upon their backs to bite 'em,

And little fleas have lesser fleas, and so, ad infinitum.

 
And so, it turns out, do fungi.

Here's a fungus, photographed yesterday in the field (we call it “Camelot” because our friend Artur helped to create it) that the donkeys are using. Either its own spores have germinated, or it has another fungus biting it on the back.

Fungi break nature down into its component parts, so this is a melody of decomposition.

The gills are alive...
