"Tremella mesenterica (common names include yellow brain, golden jelly fungus, yellow trembler, and witches' butter is a common jelly fungus in the Tremellaceae family of the Agaricomycotina.

It is most frequently found on dead but attached and on recently fallen branches, especially of angiosperms, as a parasite of wood decay fungi in the genus Peniophora.

The gelatinous, orange-yellow fruit body of the fungus, which can grow up to 7.5 cm (3.0 in) diameter, has a convoluted or lobed surface that is greasy or slimy when damp.

It grows in crevices in bark, appearing during rainy weather. Within a few days after rain it dries into a thin film or shriveled mass capable of reviving after subsequent rain.

This fungus occurs widely in deciduous and mixed forests and is widely distributed in temperate and tropical regions that include Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, North and South America. Although considered bland and flavorless, the fungus is edible. Tremella mesenterica produces carbohydrates that are attracting research interest because of their various biological activities. - WiKi

 

"Gele trilzwam (Tremella mesenterica)

De gele trilzwam is een trilzwam uit de familie Tremellaceae.

De gele trilzwam is het gehele jaar door, maar vooral in voorjaar en late herfst, te vinden op takken van loofbomen en struiken. De soort is algemeen in België en Nederland.

Het vruchtlichaam heeft een doorsnede van 1 tot 5 cm en is onregelmatig hersenachtig geplooid. Het komt tevoorschijn uit spleten in boomschors en is eerst geel en later bleekgeel gekleurd. In droge toestand verandert de substantie van geleiachtig tot kraakbeenachtig taai en ook donkerder van kleur." - WiKi

Or: Brain Salad Surgery

Waldorf salad, probably. The brainiest salad out there? Maybe for a melting skull that is pondering about The Meaning of Life... It certainly was a surgical challenge to extract a whole, undamaged kernel from those particularly small and hard Brandenburgian walnuts. There are many methods for opening and shelling walnuts and keep the nutmeat intact, and I tried something new after several failed (but delicious and healthy – walnuts are brain food, aren't they?) attempts: I soaked a few nuts in water overnight (to soften the shell) and then used the nutcracker from the top, not along the shelling line like I usually do – for the shelling line I used a knife. Sounds like quite the massacre, I know, but it worked :) As for the ice "cube"... Sorry, but I couldn't resist. I had to buy icecube trays online for this theme anyway, because I don't use ice in beverages (and therefore I didn't have an icecube tray at hand). And when I saw those skull-shaped trays, I knew I had to get them. I also ordered more traditional cube- and orb-shaped ones, so now I'm properly equipped when it comes to all things ice ;)

 

What I had in mind, of course, was a crystal-clear, perfectly-skulpted skull, and a perfectly placed walnut. At least I got one nicely placed brainy walnut (or nutty brain?) and a fairly recognisable skull out of four attempts. And boy, these ice skulls melt fast (and they move while doing so! Creepy...). I have images where you can see more of the walnut, but by the time more of that was visible, the skull was molten almost beyond recognition. So I chose the image where you can only see a little bit of the "walbrain" emerging from the skull, still covered by a thin layer of ice, and I hope that's enough "In Ice" to qualify for the theme. A rather charming small detail is the tiny (walnut) "hornlet" that appeared on the skull's forehead first – oh dear, who knows whose skull this once was... ;)

 

HMM, Everyone, and stay safe and cheerful!

 

Nüsse, ganz besonders Walnüsse, sind ja sehr gesund, Nervennahrung pur, besonders gut für die kleinen grauen Zellen – und ein halber Walnusskern sieht auch noch so aus. Aber eigentlich fing alles ganz harmlos an: Ich wollte was für's Thema machen, da ich aber nie Eiswürfel verwende, hatte ich auch keine entsprechende Form im Haus. Und mangels anderer Beschaffungsmöglichkeiten blieb mir nichts anderes übrig, als mich beim großen Piranha-Fluss umzusehen, wo mir prompt diese Schädelformen angezeigt wurden. Dabei hatte ich doch bloß "Eiswürfelform" eingegeben. Ob das was mit einer Suchanfrage für ein anderes MM-Thema ("Spiky") zu tun haben könnte? Und andere Leute bekommen lustige Tierformen angezeigt, wenn sie nach "Eiswürfelform" suchen? Egal, ich konnte natürlich nicht widerstehen, habe aber Alibi-halber auch noch Würfel- und Kugelformen mitbestellt. Denn wer weiß, was mir demnächst sonst noch auf die harmloseste Suchanfrage vorgeschlagen wird...

 

Was mir hier natürlich vorschwebte, war ein perfekt geformter, kristallklarer Schädel mit einem darin perfekt platzierten Gehirn, aber das wollte mir als Eiswürfel-Neuling noch nicht so recht gelingen. Immerhin hatte ich am Ende ein Exemplar, bei dem nicht nur der Schädel noch als solcher zu erkennen war, sondern auch noch ein Stück der Walnusshälfte sich in Relation zur Schädelschmelze rechtzeitig aus selbigem herauszuschälen begann (und das charmante kleine "Hörnchen" auf der Stirn hatte sich als Erstes hervorgewagt) – was übrigens einfacher war, als eine unversehrte Walnusshälfte aus zwar sehr schmackhaften, aber auch besonders kleinen und festen Brandenburger Walnüssen herauszuknacken. Eine fürwahr harte Nuss.

“Rabbit's clever," said Pooh thoughtfully.

"Yes," said Piglet, "Rabbit's clever."

"And he has Brain."

"Yes," said Piglet, "Rabbit has Brain."

There was a long silence.

"I suppose," said Pooh, "that that's why he never understands anything.”

It's actually remnants of a Moon Snail's shell. I found it while collecting seashells at Sanibel Island in Florida several years ago. This theme is a wonderful challenge: it wasn't until I had been looking for a pareidolia for a few days until I remembered this shell!

Every time I see a turkey's caruncles I am reminded of the cerebral cortex with its many folds and grooves. Think they look a bit like...a brain spill? ;-)

 

Thank you for your visit, comments & faves! :-)

Common names for Tremella mesenterica include Yellow Brain Fungus, Golden Jelly Fungus, and Witches' Butter (although the last usually refers to the black fungus Exidia glandulosa).

T. mesenterica is a parasite. On the right side of the branch, the purplish fungus - Oak Crust (Peniophora quercina) - is its host.

Kelly Warm Springs hosts an interesting collection of unwanted aquarium fish. The outlet creek is cold enough that these non-native fish have not yet made it to the Snake River. The National Park Service is working on removing them.

 

It used to be a popular soaking spot for locals, but the presence of a brain-eating amoeba, naeglaria fowleri, seems to have dampened enthusiasm somewhat.

Some of you may remember the MedievalRocker from a Saturday Self Challenge way back ( see the link in the first comment box ) . For the one shot a day group I thought he could have another airing as the pop-up oven-top studio was in use getting ready for this week's SSC shot .

Afraid to say his brain still hurts , the price a rock star has to pay !!

Nei giorni di nebbia puoi smettere per un attimo di guardare, puoi respirare, ed ascoltare…

chiudi gli occhi e concentrati sulle tue sensazioni, perché anche un giorno di nebbia non è per caso.

Lesser spotted Woodpecker (Dendrocopus minor) male_w_5201

 

Woodpeckers have a special bone in their head called the hyoid bone. This special bone unique to woodpeckers wraps around their entire skull inside their heads and adds a sort of shock protection. This protects them from “headaches” or injuring themselves when they are repeatedly smashing their heads up against a tree, sometimes for hours.

 

These little woodpeckers are uncommon to locally fairly common in deciduous woodland, parkland, larger gardens.

Very small (sparrow-sized) and easily overlooked, often foraging quietly on smaller branches and twigs high in canopy (like this little chap..).

Note bold white barring on back and wings, whitish underparts with no red blush under tail; male has red crown patch.
