Oudemansiella mucida, Beech Tuft, Poached Egg fungus commonly known as porcelain fungus

Oudemansiella mucida, Beech Tuft, Poached Egg fungus commonly known as porcelain fungus is native to Europe, and specific to beech wood, where it appears in autumn on dead tree like trunks and fallen branches, occasionally on dead branches high up in living trees.

Oudemansiella mucida is a white, slimy fungus and is strongly tied to rotting beech, where it grows in clusters. It is in season late summer to late autumn.

Flesh is thin and white and the lamellae are adnate, broad and very distant.

Porcelain fungus is generally considered mildly toxic, while others consider it edible after washing (to remove the mucus).

Porcelain mushroom definitely deserves its name. It is white and fine, it inspires fragility, quality, nobility ... I touch it gently, as if it were a porcelain cup, full of sensuality, light, beauty and peace.

Good thoughts to each of us.


I go through the forests, mountains, hills, fields, and waters to understand the living world and to create a living mind.

I'm just a man who is on passing on this living earth.

A living earth that is closer to death, because of us, of the human being. I spend all my time in nature, enjoying its show. All this time I try to make a video encyclopedia with flora and fauna that I encounter on this living earth. Sometimes with human fauna ...

I meet wild mushrooms, medicinal mushrooms, edible mushrooms, dead mushrooms, toxic mushrooms, magic mushrooms. Every wild mushroom with its mystery and story. The living earth is still amazing. I meet plants, flowers, trees, shrubs, grass, leaves fallen on the living land, leaves fallen on the dead land, leaves that dance in our thoughts and soul. I meet insects, invertebrates of all kinds, butterflies, worms, larvae, birds, fish, mammals, reptiles, amphibians...

But I also encounter deforested forests, hunters, poachers, animals killed, tormented, in a suffering that words can not express. I also meet people who think it is good that they behave like this.

I stretch my hand and save an insect from the drowning. But this people trample under foot my hand. They make their choice. I make my choice.

Sometimes I manage to correctly identify the species of living beings: mushrooms, plants, animals, insects. Sometimes not. What I know is much less than what I do not know. I am just a man in front of a knowledge that surpasses me, overcomes us.

I do not know enough English yet to make my clips more attractive. But I'm learning...A wonderful life, I wish you all!
