Definitely the prettiest fungus I've ever seen. I like how you posed this question poetry style! Love and Hugs,

What a beautiful plant...it does look like some type of fungi, don't think I've ever seen one that resembled a flower...interesting. I'll have to follow up on Paul's research, it's amazing how fast that fungi does grow. I love mushrooms, we have some that grow here in Kentucky that is knowns as Dry Land Fish...they are wonderful to eat, but I don't know about eating this guy...he's too pretty and could be toxic! Post some more of these unsual growths keep us posted! Great write! Almost finished with your book, loving it...I've had company and didn't get to read as much as I would have liked to...enjoying it!
Blessings,

What an amazingly beautiful type of fungi anyway! Great picture you should enter it in a contest...
Peace, love, and light,

Yes it a Fungi we used to get them in our garden~`*
I love the poem and photo;)

I'm not sure whta it is, but its sure not ordinary.. Call a plant nursery or the agriculture conservation offIce...M

Yes it is artistic with that rose shape, however I would agree it has to be some type of fungus. Especially if it springs up overnight, that is the only type of strange (overnight growths) that I know of.

Great pic though,

Jeaneete, when I first saw this photo, I thought it was a flower! But I think Paul is right...I've seen something similar to this before, and it is a kind of fungi.

I think it is some kind of fungi plant. Yes, fungi (mushroom type) can grow overnight. If you keep getting strange looking plants then I think you should have someone to check your soil. Oh, but this one is sooo beautiful - like a rose!

Very interesting indeed!

Paul is right.
Just don't eat it.

It is my cousin and by this time next week the whole family will be there . . . If you thought the gremlins were nasty little creatures . . . You ain't seen nuttin' yer . . . (((((evil laugh)))))

Hmmmmmmmm, a fungus among us! LOL Hope you can get rid of it before it gets rid of you! An excellent write, Jeanette, well done -

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

Jeanette,

It is a fungus called tremella, from the class of fungi listed below.
I just looked it up on line. Peace, Love and Good Luck, Paul.


Class: Heterobasidiomcetae

If it grew that fast, it's probably related to a wild mushroom of some sort. They are springing up in my yard and garden, too, right now, sometimes, overnight. Last year seemed to be The Year of the Spider in my backyard. I think this year, it's The Year of the Wild Fungus.
