Fungus as Art? (1 Viewer)

[John A Roberts]

Fotohaus Basel has just listed online a Swarovski 8x20 Pocket model from 1990 that’s seen better days.
What's of most interest are the striking images of the internal fungus!

p.s. The Swarovski 8x20B Pocket model was introduced in 1989, with the 10x25B following in 1992.
They were made until 2013, when they were replaced by the CL x25 Pocket models.
All of the original series was sealed but not filled with nitrogen until mid 2003,
when the designation was changed to BN.

Wow!
But adding these pictures in the description of the advert makes this a trustworth seller imo.

edit: just saying, this is a serious comment. That is as it should be

You could almost guess the species of fungus from that. The buyer can’t complain if not being told what they’re buying…. I assume it has lead to a lower asking price??

Hi Peter,

Yes the initial bid was set at €10.

Fungus is art in another way.
(Just to keep it on topic, I bring binoculars along on mushroom forays)
