I found this one already lying on the ground, so I could make a good image of the lamellae of the porcelain fungus. It's a beautiful structure.

Yellowstone National Park
From the 2021 archives
You may have read of the terrible flooding in Yellowstone National Park. We were so fortunate to go last year when all we had to worry about was a heat dome and crowds.
Thanks, as always, for stopping by and for your kind comments, awards and faves -- I appreciate them all.

"His first thought – what felt like his first thought ever, it formed so slowly in his brain – was that she looked like a doll. Just like a doll. Her eyes were large and bright and feline; her hair
was chestnut, brushed to a hardwood shine, parted sharply and flowing to her thighs; her lips were cupid’s-bow-cute; her head was tilted to one side on a long, long neck. She had skin that had never seen sunlight, and wore no expression at all.
He noticed her. And she noticed, and kept on noticing, him.
Stanley looked down for a third and longer time. It wasn’t polite to stare. Not at girls. Or anyone. But especially not girls. Not even girls who looked like perfect porcelain dolls.”

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.

"Porcelain"
In my dreams I'm dying all the time
As I wake its kaleidoscopic mind
I never meant to hurt you
I never meant to lie
So this is goodbye
This is goodbye
Tell the truth you never wanted me
Tell me
In my dreams I'm jealous all the time
As I wake I'm going out of my mind
Going out of my mind
Far be it for me to question the experts but these were massive! The biggest here was certainly 10cm but elsewhere I would say easily 12cm. Regrettably, I would need a ladder to confirm it. They certainly grow bigger than 8cm Mr Jordan!
This Bennington-style porcelain door knob was shot at a building in Brattleboro, Vermont.
The Bennington pottery first produced richly swirled clay knobs in the mid 1800s. Paired with small rosettes or back plates, they make a stately, yet understated period style door set. The durable glazed knobs were firmly fastened to a solid iron shank in antique iron finish.
The production of porcelain at Meissen, near Dresden, started in 1710 and attracted artists and artisans to establish one of the most famous porcelain manufacturers, still in business today. Its signature logo, the crossed swords, was introduced in 1720 to protect its production.
When I wander my own ways as I do now,...I never feel more alive than when I have the camera in my hand and I kiss the sky at sunset !
It is then that I lie beneath imaginary worlds and I listen to the light that burns the clouds and turns the sky into porcelain !

Porcelain Fungus growing high up in the grounds of Chatsworth House, Derbyshire.
Info.
Oudemansiella mucida, commonly known as porcelain fungus, is a fungus of the Physalacriaceae family and native to Europe. A white, slimy and wonderfully shiny wood-rot fungus and is strongly tied to rotting beech, where it grows in clusters.
BTW. I'm away for a few days so I'll catch up with you ASAP! Many thanks for all your lovely comments and faves...always very much appreciated :)
Oudemansiella mucida, the Porcelain Fungus, is specific to beech wood. It appears in autumn on dead trunks and on fallen branches, and occasionally it also grows on dead branches high up in living trees.
Provided that the skin is thoroughly washed to remove the mucus (or peeled from the caps), these mushrooms are edible, although their slimy covering is probably enough to put most people off. Only larger caps are worth collecting, because the flesh is thin and insubstantial.
Hold your horses, hold, hold the border
Don't come closer, don't, don't let go of me
I'm like porcelain
When You're with me, all, all I know is
Just about a million ways to harm you
all the things I shouldn't say
Are the things that, when I want to make you happy, comes out of me
What if I dropped, dropped the steering
Closed my eyes, drove, drove faster
I'm like porcelain
When I love you, all, all I know is
We have got the power of destruction
You can always let it fall
But when we try to work on something solid, it is too God damn hard
Give it a thought
It takes a lot
To trust that someone else will catch my fall
It takes a lifetime
Breaking goes fast
When everything that matters is made of glass
I'm like porcelain
I'm like porcelain..

Gemaakt in de bossen rond Paleis 't Loo in Apeldoorn. Het verval is begonnen maar de schoonheid van deze porceleinzwam is nog steeds zichtbaar. In de glans van de hoed zie je de weerspiegeling van de lucht, de bomen die verderop staan en het mooie mos waar de hoed op rust. De linker rand lijkt van glas gemaakt. Druk op de 'L' toets voor de vergroting.
Made in the woods around Paleis 't Loo in Apeldoorn. The decay has started but the beauty of this porcelain mushroom is still visible. In the shine of the hat you can see the reflection of the sky, the trees ahead and the beautiful moss on which the hat rests. The left edge seems to be made of glass. Hit the 'L' button for the magnification.
