In this dry period the forests are nearly empty of fungi, only locally there are chanterelles in south-eastern Estonia.

 

Thus it is even more surprising to meet a myco-organism that is difficult if not impossible to see as a fungus on a first encounter. In a completely dry period it manages to find sufficient energy in pure sand and a sandy environment to bring out its fruiting bodies.

Aesthetically here is no beauty at a first glance, but much to wonder at however.
