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.

Found this fun mushroom standing so beautifully tilted with a small autumn leaf on. Looks like it has a little hat on its head😊
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!
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!
A white fungus grows in an environment with dead and rotten leaves.Late autumn season with less colors.
The orange color on this tree captured my attention while driving home. (Best in large)
Thanks for your visit and taking the time to comment so I can visit your photos, too... very much appreciated! Have a great day!🙋♀️
This fungus might be a crust fungus, otherwise known as Stereum Hirsutum. Going through various images of rippled fungi was such a treat that now I'll look more carefully at the base of the trees. I'm now a fungus fan!
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.
