Flotsum or jetsum – I never remember which’s which! Colourful, whichever 🙂
Wonderful, a fungi in lace! She partied too long and fell over in her pretty dress. 🙂
she did look a bit wobbly!
Great picture. These are remarkable fungi aren’t they? I saw some growing on the roadside in Trinity Beach when I was in Queensland a couple of years ago.
lucky you! i only saw one, but that was amazing!
Wow… way cool 😉 Looks like an intergalatic being.
i saw it on a Fungi Foray yesterday … in a small rainforest gully near narooma 🙂
yes indeed … i was amazed to see it, i really had no idea fungi could make such delicate ornate designs!
fabulous filigree
so delicate, isn’t it?
So exotic, Christine. 🙂
like a dancer!
Just checking in, back in the U.S. with a better internet connection. Always enjoy taking a look at your blog, and as always your sensitivity to the natural world as seen through your photos and words. shanti….kai
thank you dear, hope you are enjoying being in a cooler clime 🙂
I didn’t know what this was until I read the comments. Will look closer at natures wonders.
BE ENCOURAGED! BE BLESSED!
extraordinary isn’t it?
I’ve never seen anything like this, isn’t nature incredible and full of surprises?
first time for me to gilly, but now i will be looking more closely when walking in rainforest!
Have never seen fungi like that before either! Love Jude’s description 🙂
they only last a few days, so this one is probably keeling over with the joy of life!
I’ve never come across anything quite like it! So special!
so much to learn about the wonderful natural world, if only we can preserve it long enough 🙂
Seeing ONLY one would still make my day, Christine!
they might be in your area … do you have many mushrooms up there?
