Ambrosia Maple is created by ambrosia beetles that create small tunnels in the wood; fungi accompany the beetles and the fungi create a variety of colors around the tunnels. The end result can produce striking patterns. (Not to worry: the beetles and fungi are destroyed by the heat involved in kiln drying the lumber.)
