While walking the dogs this morning, my daughter spotted this fantastic, bright yellow fungus on a rotting log. It is such a pretty yellow. I'm so glad she came to get me so I could photograph it. I've never seen one like it, have you? It's called Fuligo Septica also known as Scrambled Egg Slime. In Scandinavian folklore it is the droppings of a Troll Cat which is a familiar of a witch. How interesting!
How has everyone been? I hope Spring has sprung all over by now. I'll be doing my rounds in a bit, can't wait to see your posts.
Hope your Thursday is fantastic. Thanks so much for stopping by.
I haven't and will be on the lookout during one of my macro photo walks. I love shooting shrooms! And all things like that.
ReplyDeleteI hope you find one. I updated the post because I found out what it's name is. You might want to reload the post if what you read didn't tell you.
DeleteThat is quite the colorful fungus ~

I was quite surprised by how bright the yellow is!
DeleteThat is a beautiful yellow! I love seeing nature's special plants and more.
ReplyDeleteI love to run across something unusual and pretty.
DeleteIt's practically neon! Very cool.
ReplyDeleteIt really is!!!!
DeleteGreat, colourful slime mould. You need to add a ‘u’ in your title - Fungus not Fungs.
ReplyDeleteOops, done!
DeleteWell that is one bright and happy fungus and it is most welcomed among us.
ReplyDeleteI too was itching when I saw all that grass around the desk and don't even get me started on the bugs and skeeters and pollen
Hugs Cecilia
It is a happy and bright fungus!
DeleteI have never seen one of those. The Scambled Egg name is appropriate for sure!
ReplyDeleteI think it's so pretty!
DeleteIt's a startling yellow. I prefer the name of a Troll cat dropping to scrambled egg slime, I think.
ReplyDeleteI love the Troll Cat name too!
DeleteI have never seen anything like this fungus. Fascinating!
ReplyDeleteAnd so bright and cheery!
DeleteI've never seen one of this. It's so bright!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it?! You couldn't miss it when you walked outside.
DeleteIt has such an appropriate name! And I love it's story, about the witch's cat! Wonder if it is kind of rare? How cool that your daughter saw it!
ReplyDeleteIt rained over night and sort of melted it. So glad I got to see it!
DeleteThat's a beauty! Some of the most colourful objects in nature, are fungi. I also love the bit about the witch's cat. Fungus season is rapidly approaching now. I'll be on the hunt!

ReplyDeleteI've never seen any fungi like that before. It's spectacular!
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing find! The bright yellow color is so striking — no wonder it caught your daughter's eye. I love that you also shared the fascinating bit of Scandinavian folklore about the Troll Cat; it adds such a magical touch to an already unique discovery. Nature is full of such wonderful surprises!
