The Fungi World (260) : Porcelain fungus
The Porcelain fungus is a white, slimy wood-rot fungus and is strongly tied to rotting beech, on which it grows in clusters.
It appears in autumn on dead trunks and on fallen branches. Occasionally it also grows on dead branches high up in living trees, but always on beech.
It got its name by the layer of transparent mucus that covers the caps and so imitates porcelain.
Dutch name : Porseleinzwam
German name : Buchen Schleimrübling (auch Beringte Schleimrübling genannt)
Latin name : Oudemansiella mucida

Resplendent as the fungi like a staircase grow up the trunk. Very good light and a brilliant sharpness.Also cut and the background are the finest.
Best wishes, Roland
