From last November.
Puffball zombie apocalypse look in the first image. Because that is what you get if you pack your 14mm wide angle lens instead of your 90mm macro.

A few alternate photos from the past month.

  1. Barometer Earthstar [Astraeus hygrometricus]
  2. Tinder Polypore [Fomes fomentarius]
  3. Amber Jelly [Exidia recisa]
  4. Crowded Parchment [Stereum complicatum] & Birch Woodwart [Hypoxylon multiforme]

About 20 nickel-sized mushrooms on a dead twig. They are brown and gelatinous looking in the winter or after heavy rains as they swell with water. There are also fallen leaves on the forest floor.
Tinder Polypores. Each looks like a horse’s hoof - slightly curved toward the top with a flat bottom. Almost like ½ a bell. There are bands of muted colors on the mushroom including ochre, cream, dull orange, and white. Each is approximately the size of a large fist. There is also moss on the tree.
A smallish dead birch branch shaped like a Y covered with a bright yellowish orange flaky looking crust mushroom. Also on the branch are about 20 fingernail sized black blobs that have a slight dimpling on them. A little green lichen is also present. The branch is sitting on the forest floor of leaves and moss.

🌱☘️🌿 Adventures of a baby snail called Rainbow🌈 as “Robinson Crusoe” - stranded on an island, surrounded by water.

Added some calcium carbonate (similar to chicken egg shell) for nutrition.

150 frames captured at 30-second intervals. Played back at 15 frames per second! 🐌🐚

2 for 1 deal on both growing on an old hemlock.


Closeup of the bark of an old Hemlock. On the left side are several bright orange-yellowish blobs about ½ inch in size. They look like mini brains. They are Orange Dacrymyces. Taking up the center and the right side of the tree are approximately 40 (in focus) fingernail shaped gray flattish mushrooms (Trichaptum abietinum). There is also bright green moss on the tree.

    I just finished reading Entangled Life, and it was a trip.

    Fungi are weird, y'all. They're very queer, actually. They defy classification, break the "rules" of how life works, form symbiotic bonds with just about any form of life, and really challenge what it means to be an "individual."

    Some of my favorite takeaways:

    Some fungi have thousands of "mating types" (sorta like "sexes" in mammals).

    "Lichen" is probably better thought of as a verb than as a collection of species.

    Some mycologists argue we shouldn't classify fungus into species at all.

    Well known for its red and white-spotted cap, fly agaric has a mutually-beneficial relationship with birch trees in the forest. In Scotland, the fly agaric occurs throughout the mainland, the larger islands such as Skye, Mull and Rum, and has also been recorded in the Outer Hebrides.
