Terrific capture with sharp textures. Love the Latin name of this unusual fungus. V.

Very cool. Reminds me of asparagus. I agree with Walter, it looks like an underwater scene! V

Reminds of a mushroom her called "Ziegenbart" and eatable! Great colors and details in a fine shot! v.

A wonderful find Scott. Looks almost like an aquatic scene.

Lovely structure they have, they really connect death matter to the living. V

Fantastic!! I love these coral fungi, and coincidentally, just saw some Clavaria the other day. V
