Hi Valerie,

Interesting image with good detail. It seems as if itpays to fall down sometimes and to have the camera with you at all times.

Hello Valérie,
A fine portrait of T. mesenterica, what we call 'Gullkrös' in Swedish.
The technical features, lighting and POV are excellent with fine BG of lichens on the substrate and the dead leaves all combine to make this an excellent presentationof this species of fungus.
Thanks for sharing both this and the good note,
Best regards,
Ivan

Hi Valerie!

You present us a little jewel. The colours of the fungi are superb and contrast so nicely with the other parts in the picture. Moreover, the natural environment suits the subject very well. Your notes are very pleasant and instructive at the same time.

Kind regards

You have described your places greatly. Very well written story. And you have illustrated it with amazing shot of a very attractive fungi. I also am impressed with terrific quality of the shot, superb details, wonderful rich colours, amazing combination of crisp sharpness of the main subject and light blurriness of the pictorial surroundings. Bravo. Well done. Great post.

Bonjour Valérie,
C'est presque l'histoire du petit chaperon rouge, mais les loups ayant déserté (mais ils reviennent!), tu es tombée sur un joli champignon, dont Ivan t'a donné le nom.
Tu l'as très bien photographié et on devine bien son aspect un peu visqueux. J'avais trouvé il y un mois une branche comme celle-ci avec ce même champignon et des liches de différentes sortes. Comme je n'avais pas le bon objectif sur moi, je suis allée le chercher à la maison et en retournant à l'endroit où j'avais laissé la branche, plus rien..
Quelqu'un d'autre a dû la trouver à son goût.
Je te souhaite un bel après-midi
Anne

envolée.

Hi Valerie,

Very nice photo, with great sharpness and texture of the fruitbody, and You're right, this is Tremella mesenterica, unmistakable. The East European story is also very interesting, I've already heard it, but about a myxomycota specie, Fuligo septica, which is, by the way, named as "Witch's Butter" in Hungarian, and "Dog Vomit Slime Mould" in English.

Tfs the great pic and note, best wishes from Hungary, László

Excelente combinación de colores a bases de diferentes elementos naturales bien distribuidos. Bastante conseguido el enfoque al amarillo del hongo con la dificultad que conlleva esta especie por su especial forma y textura. Un bonito trabajo. Buen fin de semana Valerie: Josep Ignasi.

Dear Valèrie,
the way you observe and describe nature is so intense that it gives me the feeling I could enter your images and touch the objects by hand! Very well described, and a pleasure to see. Very interesting observation of those hidden jewels (jellies) on a wintertime forest ground. A pleasure.
With thanks, and best regards,
Peter

Hi Valerie,
This is a very interesting shot for me,not just because I love fungi,but because I took a very similar shot in my garden a few months ago.
You can see it Here
It is very similar to Tremella mesenterica but the richness of the yellow leads me to think that this is in fact Tremella lutescens (the same as my photo).
Because fungi are often found in low light conditions,the best way to photograph them is to use a mini tripod,and a longer exposure to capture the fine details.
A flash photo will work (if its not too close) but never really shows the true colour as well.
An interesting post.
Thanks for sharing.
Cheers
Steve

Belle photo avec un joli assortiment de couleurs.
