Oudemansiella Mucida

commonly know as the "porcelain mushroom".

It's been raining quite a bit lately and autumn is falling over the landscape with colder nights and lots of moisture. Perfect mushrooming conditions.

@actifraenk went on a nice little afternoon walk into the forest and, as usual these days, found some beautiful shrooms. It was, however, a bit too late to fit the pictures into the daily actispam report, so, here we are with a little contribution to #FungiFriday by @ewkaw.

The porcelain mushroom has its name for its delicate translucency. While many mushrooms exhibit this phenomenon it is much more obvious on these. They often grow further up in dead trees, specifically beech wood, so it's easy to notice their shiny qualities from a human perspective.

Too few people make the effort to get down low and try to look at ground dwelling mushrooms from below. You're missing out folks, I'm telling you!

Another distinct characteristic of this species is the slimy, wet look on the top side of the mushroom. So shiny and reflective.

They grow and disappear within just a few days. They really are as delicate as they look!

Right next to those porcelain beauties, there were also a bunch of tall brown mushrooms growing from the soil.

I have no idea what kind of species these are, but they also seem to like beech wood a lot. I see them quite often but usually not as tall and numbered as here.

None of these are edible mushrooms, I think! But they're wildly beautiful none the less.

Happy #FungiFriday y'all!!
