Jelly fungus Calocera pallidospathulata

How many of us have fantasized about having in our hands a logbook by Darwin or some other eminent figure and observing their first notes and drawings about the species they discovered during their explorations?

This style of artistic composition evokes that feeling of discovering an old document with the description of a rare species of mushroom. The texture of the paper and apparent moisture stains reflect that feeling of having found a treasure map, which for those of us who love mushrooms, is a page that shows the species and its particularities.

The Calocera pallidospathulata fungus can be found in coniferous forests. They are small and gelatinous.
