Don't forget tea! I bought tea from Japan, and the tariff was 50% of the cost.

I often buy tea from Japan and Taiwan. I bought $50 in tea with $8 shipping. A few days later I got a message from DHL, they need Duty/VAT of $25. 50% of costs for duty, and I am paying that. 50% inflation for me over this year for arbitrary taxes. #tariffs #inflation

Some mushrooms come with gold dust. Hygrophorus chrysodon for your #FungiFriday #mushrooms #fungifriends

Slug in coastal California munching on a Suillus mushroom. A bit of nature for your #mushroommonday #fungifriends #mushrooms

I have no idea what to do anymore. So here is a photo of a butterfly. Taken at 12k feet in Colorado, where it was hard to breathe.

Been listening for a while. This run on Frankenstein here has gotten me and my wife going. We are both reading along and then listening to the podcast, and discussing. I don't think she agreed on the point that the book is not really science fiction. She sees it as completely science fiction.

Yay!! Been waiting. What chapters does this episode cover?

I didn't have anything of meaning to say here, but this might be the best insect photo I have taken so far. Just thought I would post.

Kneeling on a state senator in his own state! Um, what?

Um, what? This is our senator. We are just pushing around senators now?

This is a view from the surface of Comet 67P.

The busy particles in the foreground are cosmic rays or bits of dust and ice.

The dots moving in the background are stars.

Hope it is mild, and I hope we will be allowed to get vaccinated for new strains in the future. Not sure if that is true anymore.

Heading out to look for more mushrooms, hoping to find small guys in the moss and grass like this. At McCloud, CA: www.mccloudchamber.com/mushroomfest.... For your #FungiFriday #fungifriends #mushrooms

Some mushrooms grow from the ground, some grow in the sky. This one infects trees from the top making them weak, breaking in storms. Making crags for owls and more. Then you find the mushrooms in what falls to the ground. Rhodofomes cajanderi for your #MushroomMonday #fungifriends #mushrooms

For the end of Andor, Allen life is here among us. Strange and wonderful, but actually one of the common mushrooms in sub-tropical areas. Cookeina tricholoma here from Ecuador for your #FungiFriday #fungifriends #mushrooms

A light green moth from Michigan for your #MothMonday #MacroMonday #moth

Like little elven wizard hats in shadows of the forest floor. Small mushrooms eat the rotting leaves and twigs to create the rich soil, and in their turn are eaten by bugs and snails. Entoloma quadratum for your #MushroomMonday #fungifriends #mushrooms

Ok here is a post just for my #fungifriends. Is there something that you would like to see in my mushroom photos? I have a lot of them, although most are rather clinical to capture features. But if people want more of a type of fungi, to learn something, let me know.

Hidden in the shadows at the edge of an Amazon cloud forest a hint of purple fingers reaching for the air, and releasing some spores. Clavaria schaefferi for your #FungiFriday #fungifriends #mushrooms

Another one for the return of The Last of Us. This grass hopper was turned into a fungus by Paraisaria amazonica. For your #FungiFriday #fungifriends #mushrooms
