Fire in the Forest! - _TNY_7305

No worries, this little flame burning in the Svartkällsskogens nature reserve won't grow into a wildfire. It is a beautiful specimen of the yellow stagshorn (Calocera viscosa) jelly fungus.

 

The scientific name stems in the Greek "kalos" and "keras" meaning "beatuiful" and "horn" and the Latin "viscosus" meaning "sticky".
