Senna3's Fotothing

It looks more coral than coral itself.

Looks like a brush to me:)
Great find!

From thumb I thought it was a coral!!!
Great find and shot, Peter!

Yes coral or even a little like a sponge, but fungi ? probably my third choice on the thumbnail. Ain't nature interesting !

extra ordinary seeing this coral creature/speciman on dry earth .. Senna,

great shot....!!

Tom and Peter, perhaps we should call it Mushroom coral or a Brush mushroom!

Coral on dry earth, Senna. :))

I too thought it was coral! Beautiful capture Peter!

ik kan je niet helpen aan een naam Weet alleen dat hij heel bijzonder is voor mij!

Looks like my shoe cleaner for when I have muddy shoes!!!!!!!!!Great all the same Peter.

It sure is Roger!

So special! Great find and shot!:)

Thank you Liz.

Thank you Sider.

Thank you Mary.

Dank je Wil.

Interesting capture.

Woww... Is it rare?

I thought it was a hedgehog !!
i've never seen a mushroom look like that before it, great find :-))

I did too!! It looks just like one..Fantastic plant and photo

Interestingly, I just read an article the other day on mushrooms and this is similiar to a mushroom called Enoki. I'm not an expert on mushrooms, so there may be several alike, but the one example I did read of a coral like mushroom, is called Enoki.

Excellent capture and more importantly... excellent find!

Fantastic capture!

Amazing! I thought it was a sponge from the thumb.

so cool

Thank you Joan.

Thank you Crazy8s.

At least rare for me Sheila, I never saw this type of mushroom before and in my guide of common European mushroom I could not find one that had any resemblance.

Thank you Lynn.

Peter..Have been through hundreds of Fungi pictures and the nearest to this was Coral Fungi...seems logical...

Thank you Linnylou.

Thanks a lot Tammy. I will check for Enoki in my guides!

Thank you Vera.

Thank you Ashdad.

Thank you Nancy.

Thanks a lot for your interest Joan!
I have checked all Coral fungi at the Biopix site and the Rosso coral seems to come closest: http://www.biopix.com/Species.asp?Searchtext=Ramaria%20botrytis&Category=
