Hi Jose

I love these, I must go and see if we have any in my local woods yet. I love seeing them as the small white spiky balls. Lovely colours here, sharp and with a great shiny texture

Olá José,

Nice macro shot, great sharpness and textures on the cap, nice natural colors. Great job MF. A pity a part of the fruitbody was already eaten by a snail, but it wasn't Your fault. Although the photographed object is less aesthetic this way indeed.

I'm wondering why Wiki and other sources ignore the very important information this specie's only living on acid soil?!

Best regards, László
