Porcelain Fungus?
This time I remembered to include the picture...
Think porcelain related fungus as was growing half way up a beech tree, and looks , well , like porcelain.

Could have done better with the stalky bit (oof) .

Looks like Porcelain to me. Nicely lit for the gills.

Hi,

Yes I believe your ID to be correct... and a nice image. I do feel however that the format is wrong here and would have prefered an upright presentation with some more space above the fungus, more reaching up if that makes sense... You are aware of the DoF issue so I won't mention that (opps I did :biggrin: )
