i walked on water today
frozen pond water
and discovered
winter fungi
of the schizophyllaceae sort
somewhere in the evolutionary
tree between a polypore and a gilled mushroom
or so the mycologists say
the hint of salmon pink against the dark brown wet wood
was so beautiful

You find the most beautiful tiny things. These remind me of sea coral.

Incredible! I've never seen those here! I wonder if it's just too cold and frozen in these parts...

Those are so cool!

Oh! I looked schizophyllaceae up, and it's called kløvblad in danish. And I actually know a few of the family members. I blogged a picture of one of them a few days ago, but I only saw its white furry back, not the salmon pink belly. It's always good to learn something new :) Wonderful pictures, and I agree with Kathleen; they look like something living in a coral reef.
