Alien chest-burster?

[decorum]

Why Alien chest-burster? Because that was my first thought when I saw it.

I'm fairly sure I know what this is but any input is welcome.

Fungi looks to be a young Birch polypore.

I know very little about fungi, but that was my thought too - thanks.

I agree with Birch polypore, but don't get your face too close, just in case

 

[decorum]

Nah, this'd be the one you might want to be wary of - if it had legs!

For comparison

A piece from my collection which is another one of my hobbies

Yup, that's the wee xeno-morph beastie I thought of Silverback and quasi-confirmed when I looked up! (post #5)

Here is one of my favourites - lifesize Kane bust with hugger limited to 250 pieces ( 5orry for the partial thread drift but I am sensing a fellow fanboy )

No need to be sorry, I think that you've explained the thread title to perfection - and certainly better than words could!

A gieger fan or just sci fi?

 

[Silverback]

Giger fan thru n thru with a collection value exceeding the new cost of your average family saloon (Silverback checks very carefully around for Mrs. Silverback before owning up to that )

These three guys art captured my early(ish) imagination. The first was Escher: http://www.mcescher.com/ then came Salvator Dali:

I blame Rainbow - and Bungle in particular!
