@wonderofscience Thank you Steve for this wonderful photograph and to Pixie for sharing.😊

@wonderofscience It looks like something made of gel or gummy 😀

@wonderofscience that’s quite amazing! - and beautiful

@wonderofscience This like something from another planet.

@wonderofscience yay! I loved this little funguy so much the first time I saw it that I had to get #Procreate out and do a #doodle. #nature #photography #fungi

@wonderofscience That is amazing. It looks like fine glass art.

@wonderofscience So, who wants to try it first? It looks delicious!

@wonderofscience WHAT HOW IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL IT MAKES ME WANNA CRY

@wonderofscience This is why I don't eat foods that are blue.

When I pass on a cupcake because of the blue frosting and I have to explain why, I'm just going to bring up this photo

@wonderofscience @clive

If we found this beautiful life form on Mars, everyone on Earth would be super excited, delighted by elegance, design, evolution… exclaiming about wondrous bio-technologies revealed …

Mars, schmars. We need to learn to be appreciative of life on planet Earth.

@wonderofscience Wow! Must be poisonous — too alluring to be benign!

@wonderofscience That is definitely from a planet far far away very beautiful work mother nature.
