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.
Elephant in Hampshire Woodland
Yesterday on a forage for fungi, as the light was fading, I came across what I thought was a large cream-coloured fungus. I even took a photo. Then I realised there was more to it. It turned out I was photographing the underside of this little elephant. So I set him straight and had some fun. Happy weekend everybody!

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.

♂ Onychogomphus costae (Sélys, 1885) de Agramón, Albacete.
En buena compañía, (Pipa, Ricardo, Gaona, Manolo y Josevi), conseguimos ver y fotografiar a la apreciada O. cazuma, O, forcipatus, etc y esta maravilla tan delicada que parece de porcelana.
"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.”

Moby: this whole presentation is perfect. Porcelain is the second song.
Happy Monochrome Monday, everyone!

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.

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 !

Good week ahead !
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.
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.

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.
