Pink Pagoda Fungus - Podoserpula miranda

What you see in this picture is a spectacular Pink Pagoda Fungus, species Podoserpula miranda (Amylocorticiales - Amylocorticiaceae) discovered in the Pacific island archipelago of New Caledonia in 2009, and described in 2012.

Podoserpula miranda not only has a highly striking color for a fungus but also an architecture that is especially fascinating to scientist, containing a unique set of six mushroom caps that are centered on one stalk and decrease  in size as they near the top.

I found this wonderful website called A Chaos of Delight, which talks about tiny soil bugs especially the adorable springtails

There is lots of really good photography. I think it would form great inspiration for creature design.

A mushroom I recently made. I'm exhibiting my work at a local gallery right now and I've had a lot of time to create while guarding the exhibit.
