Let's hear it for the weird mushrooms. Here is one I don't think I've seen before, an unknown grey Phelladon, with its tiny teeth to spread spores, no gills or pores. For your #MushroomMonday #fungifriends #mushrooms

Some mushrooms are very bright, but not on their caps, only on their stems (or stipes to be technical). Some Cortinarius for your #FungiFriday #fungifriends #mushrooms

Fingers busting from the ground, reach for the sky, to spread their spores. A Ramaria for your #MushroomMonday #fungifriends #mushrooms

Multiple mushrooms growing out of decayed wood, with red caps, gills, and stipes. The background is black.

It's #FungusFriday and our Observation of the Day is this group of Ruby Bonnet mushrooms (Cruentomycena viscidocruenta), seen in Australia by liznoble!

More details at: www.inaturalist.org/observations...

Much paler than the deep red mushrooms I’ve seen of this type, but these beauties are large with open caps of around 8 inches across.

Happy #FungiFriday!

A skull surrounded by death cap mushrooms. These are the most poisonous mushrooms in the world. This was a display at the San Francisco mycological society fungus fair. For your #FungusFriday #fungifriends #mushrooms

This is the second time I have photographed one of my favorite Mycena species - this one is found on leaves and has regular water droplets along the stem for a reason which remains a mystery to me.

From the Chocó Andino region of Ecuador.

Rather dry on the coast, but some fungi were found. Here is Lycoperdon perlatum for your #MushroomMonday #fungifriends #mushrooms

Caps that are smooth and white as silk, these are Inocybe, which means silk heads. It has been a very good year so far for Inocybe of all kinds, go find them! For your #FungiFriday #fungifriends #mushrooms

A very blue Cortinarius found under live oak trees. About a dozen in this grouping, some larger than my hand. Even with so many, so large, many are still unknown species. For your #MushroomMonday #fungifriends #mushrooms

Small and hidden in moss, also tough and leathery. These guys have tiny spines to drop their spores. Phelladon for your #MushroomMonday #fungifriends #mushrooms

Hey - here is one from Jackson Demo Forest. So far it is a good year. See you next month.

Bursting from holes in a rotting log, fungi reach thin fingers for the sky, spreading spores. Ramaria tsugina with its green tips for your #FungiFriday #fungifriends #mushrooms

Some mushrooms don't need caps, but have branches. Dendrocollybia racemosa for your #MushroomMonday #fungifriends #mushrooms

Some are smooth, some are shaggy. Shaggy all over on Pholiota terrestris for your #FungiFriday #fungifriends #mushrooms

Sometimes a mushroom can be very simple, no cap, no gills, no color. Clavaria fragilis for your #MushroomMonday #fungifriends #mushrooms

Some Lactarius xanthogalactus seen today under redwood and tan oak. The gills bleed white milk, that quickly turns yellow. Which you can see if you look close. #FungiFriday #fungifriends #mushrooms

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.
