Travniški rob, 2.135 m, East Julian Alps, Posočje, Slovenia EC Comments: Oudemansiella mucida is one of the most beautiful mushrooms I know. It isn't colorful but impresses by its elegant shape and consistency. It is like made from half translucent porcelain and is wonderfully glistering in sun rays protruding through tree canopies because of its gelatinous, wet surface. It is actually a quite common species here around and almost always appears in large numbers on dead, mostly still standing Fagus sylvatica trunks, frequently appearing all along their length. Growing in groups of many fruit bodies, more than 200 fruitbodies found in this observation. Taste and smell indistinctive; SP abundant, white. Spores smooth.
