A Fungus

White Coral Jelly Fungus (Sebacina sparassoidea)

A severe drought and no mushrooms. Finally it rains and there they are again.

The White Coral Jelly Fungus grows in eastern North America, most often near dead Oak trees, though sometimes on or near other deciduous trees. These fruit bodies show up in late summer.

Mushrooms fascinate me. Such a different form of life. I pay no attention to their edibility or inedibility. Too often a mistake can be made. I find it best to just enjoy their beauty. Photographs are much more satisfying.
