I think your inclination in your alt text that they were fungi is correct about those adorable little white creatures. They seem to have the shape & features that indicate to me they have gills, possibly from the mycena genus.
Spot on with the lichen! ☺️

Thank you! They are super cute whatever they are. 😊

Hey, #fungifriends, I think I caught some slime mold and lichen on this tree fern in eastern Australia

Photo of several Cladonia lichens. Some look like golf tees with the tops ringed in red. Others look like narrow pipes with their tops ringed in red.

I agree with Dr D. I also call on the Australian government to #RaiseTheRate of all support payments to a living wage.

This would be the single most effective way to lift the productivity, quality of life, and well-being of the whole country.

These #lichen on this particular morning were so photogenic. The sun was just right and there colours and apothecia were expressing a healthy demeanour. Again Ramalina sp. growing in,around,with Chrysopthalmus teloschites #FungiFriends pretty pretty pretty

Really, does the ABC always to have to trot out the same old losers?

Photo of the fruiting bodies of a pure white fungus. The numerous fruiting bodies look like nearly round fans. They are growing on rotting wood, brown in colour.

Without xAI, Tesla is nothing more than the 19th largest carmaker in the world by sales volume, worth less than $100 billion.

The "AI" premium in Tesla was $400/share ($1.4TR). With xAI in shambles (no talented engineer in his right mind would work there), $TSLA is worth $28.

I really wish more people would read this.

Australia's unemployment benefits are the lowest in the OECD.

The government claims that this is to encourage people to get a job and lowers unemployment.

Studies have shown that this is bullshit (quelle surprise)

Morning! 🤗

A sky at sunrise washed in gold and orange with about a third of the sun visible above the ocean horizon. Some sparse branches of a eucalyptus tree in the right foreground and there are light clouds above.

Each sunrise is an absolute blessing
Here's this morning's ✨️

Thank you for immense contributions, Asha ✨️

To all women in science

BOOM! 💥

I went out before today's Herzog protest at Parliament and saw this massive police surveillance tower. This is completely unnecessary, and intimidating, at a peaceful protest. Police need to be protecting protesters, not snooping on them, or attacking them.
