It was awesome to look this fungus from the bottom. The big branches and the trunk were covered with it but the tree foliage looked good; the fungi was in the shadows because the leaves. I had to up the ISO to get a better photo and fix later with the software.
Those of us with a fascination for the odd and unusual, will love bleeding tooth fungus (Hydnellum peckii). It has a weird appearance straight out of a horror movie, as well as some potential medical uses. What is bleeding tooth fungus? It is a mycorrhiza with serrated basal spines and oozing, blood-like secretions topside. A mushroom with a flair for the dramatic that is native to the Pacific Northwest.

A mushroom with two common names, it is also known as the Poached Egg fungus. Very common, edible after washing to remove gluten. I've tried these and they're not worth the effort.

You always see that when not looking for the Fly Agaric you will find one. Never seen one with this size and I was lucky that the light was perfect.
Have a great weekend and many thanks for you're comments, favs, views!
For the Macro Mondays theme "stick".
While walking with a friend in the forest we found this weird looking fungus on a small twig covered with moss, so I could pick it up and tried to look under it to see if it was stuck to the moss, which it did. (She assured me that it was a fungus, a very rare one and unfortunately forgot the name, so if you know...)
I also touched it carefully with one finger and the surface was sticky too, as you also can see.
I was happy I found this one, because in this way I could stick to my mushroom series and join the MacroMondays challenge ;-)
Happy Macro Monday everyone!
A white fungus grows in an environment with dead and rotten leaves.Late autumn season with less colors.

Aleuria aurantia
[ commonly known as Orange Peel Fungus ]
Near..............
Garn Boduan is an Iron Age hillfort and hill near Nefyn, on the Llŷn Peninsula in Wales. In a survey in the 1950s the traces of over 170 round houses were identified on this site, and around 100 round houses are still visible on the ground. Between 100 and 400 people may have lived in this fort.
Porcelain fungus
Oudemansiella mucida, commonly known as porcelain fungus, is a basidiomycete fungus of the Physalacriaceae family and native to Europe.
O. mucida is a white, slimy wood-rot fungus and is strongly tied to rotting beech, where it grows in clusters. It is in season late summer to late autumn, and tiny fungi can then sometimes be seen parachuting from high branches, when they are dislodged by the wind on breezy days.
Distribution and habitat
Porcelain fungus is native to Europe, and specific to beech wood, where it appears in autumn on dead tree like trunks and fallen branches, occasionally on dead branches high up in living trees. It is saprobic or weakly parasitic to living beech trees. While it has a strong tie to beech, it has been found growing on oak on rare occasions.
Oudemansiella mucida occurs throughout northern and central Europe, where Beech is found and in its habitat this fungus is a common specie. When O. mucida is found on a beech tree, it usually outcompetes other fungi locally by means of a powerful anti-fungal agent called strobilurin.

Mucidule visqueuse
La Mucidule visqueuse (Oudemansiella mucida) est un champignon basidiomycète que l’on rencontre souvent en automne, en touffes ou en petits troupeaux sur les troncs de hêtres vivants ou morts. Comme leur nom l'indique, ces champignons sont recouverts d'une couche de mucus.
Description
Le chapeau (3-10 cm) est blanc, éventuellement gris pâle à petites rides, d’abord hémisphérique lorsqu’il est jeune, il s’étale en vieillissant, la marge est translucide. Les lames sont horizontales, de couleur blanche avec une arête brunâtre. Le stipe est blanc et gluant (3-7 cm) portant un anneau blanc à petites cannelures souvent gris blanc dans sa partie inférieure. La chair est très mince, élastique sans odeur ni saveur particulière.
Habitat
Elle pousse, de la fin de l’été à l’automne, sur le bois des feuillus (particulièrement sur les hêtres) vivants ou morts, affaiblis par une cassure ou une blessure (orage ou tempête par exemple) ou sur ceux qui sont récemment tombés.
We cut down a dead tree last summer and didn't pay too much attention to the stump... all of these beautiful fungi appeared after a large rainfall..
Malta Gozo.
During the occupation of the Knights of Malta, unauthorised access to the tiny rock was punishable by three years’ oarsmanship in the galleys! Why? Because there grew an endemic fungus which was highly prized for its medicinal properties.

I had lots of kind comments from my last post on Thursday and although I do usually reply to these can I say thank you again they do make a difference to my day. I do hope you are not reading this straight away and are out and about enjoying your weekend. For me the excitement is over, we’ve been to Lidl to do a shop and picked up some lovely pastries to go with our coffee back home, that done and the photo I’m posting already processed I’ll have to find something else to do. I can see if the cat has turned up that could waste a few minutes. They're is this little tabby that started to nap in our greenhouse through the day, sitting on some old gardening glove on a bench in there. As it was getting regular I cleaned up the bench and placed a little dog mat on the bench. I started to leave some Felix treats on the matt and after a while I went out to visit it, unsure at first it left greenhouse before I arrived but then followed me in to get the treats. Now it see’s me coming and comes to meet, always following me to the mat for the treats. It even has fresh water on the bench so it’s made it a home from home and it’s helped me get through some rough times with the leg pain. I hope you like today’s photo back in the woods. Obviously it was the orange sulphur fungus that caught my eye but know I wonder if it’s a distraction.
The lines and curves in these creamy coloured fungi are accented with a rich brown edge. I was pleased with the detail in the lines on the underside of the fungus in the forefront. These organisms are growing on what remains of an extremely large Carolina Popular.
