The Fungi World (298) : Pine Pinkgill

Pine Pinkgill is a very rare fungus that likes to grow on acidic soil in wet, mossy conifer forests.
Its metallic steel blue colour makes it a strikingly beautiful pearl in the autumn forest.

Indicated as critically endangered on the Red List of vulnerable and threatened species !

Dutch name : Blauwe satijnzwam
German name : Stahlblauer Rötling
Latin name : Entoloma nitidum

***

PS1 : Looking at the overwhelming blue of this fungus, 'pink' in its name is a bit confusing.
It refers to the pink colours of the inner spores. Strange, but so be it.

PS2 : This is my last fungus shot of the 2015 autumn, which was a good fungi season :-))
I hope you all enjoyed the pictures of the fascinating fungi world as much as I did when I found and shot them all.

PS3 : With just one click below, you can see here the whole series so far

This is just marvellous! What a beautiful fungus!
It seems to shine and glow and it makes me wondering, if this could be real ;))
Wonderful!

Kind of Blue... this is a piece of music made by Miles Davis... and maybe this shot would be have nice as an album title. But now it's to late! ;-)
Great shot, Mark!
Have a nice first Sunday of advent.

If anyone here says he is blue, then it means
he has been drinking too much alcohol.
Too bad that you could not quite achieve 300.
