Wicked West 🍄 (She/Her)

Furb of the night

This mushroom, growing out of dark soil and light green moss, is called plums and custard. The entire mushroom, other than the gills, which we can't see from this straight-on shot, is a light reddish-pink color with occasional spots of soft yellow. It stands about 3 inches tall. Its flesh is covered with extremely short fuzz.

This rosy-pink beauty is called plums and custard, Tricholomopsis rutilans. In spite of its yummy name, it's not recommended to eat it

A large young mushroom emerges from thick moss and tiny plants. Its stipe is a bit roughly textured and is about two inches long and one inch wide. The cap, which is just as tall as the stipe but is more bell-shaped, is bright red and has small yellow-white popcorn-like patches (i.e., warts) all over it.

I love the way Amanita muscaria looks when its surrounded by green 🌱🌿🍄

Here’s a nice bit of Turkey Tail for #FungiFriday #FungiFriends

IF YOU'RE UNEMPLOYED IT'S NOT BECAUSE THERE ISNT ANY WORK JUST LOOK AROUND: A HOUSING SHORTAGE, CRIME, POLLUTION; WE NEED BETTER SCHOOLS AND PARKS. WHATEVER OUR NEEDS, THEY ALL REQUIRE WORK. AND AS LONG AS WE HAVE UNSATISFIED NEEDS, THERE'S WORK TO BE DONE. SO ASK YOURSELE, WHAT KIND OF WORLD HAS WORK BUT NO JOBS. IT'S A WORLD WHERE WORK IS NOT RELATED TO SATISFYING OUR NEEDS, WORLD WHERE WORK IS ONLY RELATED TO SATISFYING THE PROFIT NEEDS OF BUSINESS. THIS COUNTRY WAS NOT BUILT BY THE HUGE CORPORATIONS OR GOVERNMENT BUREAUCRACIES. IT WAS BUILT BY PEOPLE WHO WORK. AND, IT IS WORKING PEOPLE WHO SHOULD CONTROL THE WORK TO BE DONE. YET, AS LONG AS EMPLOYMENT IS TIED TO SOMEBODY ELSE'S PROFITS, THE WORK WONT GET DONE.

Photo of a dozen or so tiny, bronze coloured slime mold sporangia that look kinda like tiny cups on short stalks…the cups have covers. The slime mold is on a green, leafy lichen.

#lichen #fungi #fungifriends
The slime mold sporangia are only about 2 to 3mm high.

Three mushrooms grow on mossy sloped ground. The farthest back is the largest and bends out from the ground in an almost "s" shape, its cap pointing left and hanging horizontally. The middle and right mushrooms are smaller and grow straight up. The stipe of the three mushrooms starts as yellow near the ground and quickly fade to a slightly transparent white which extends up to the cap. The caps are a yellowish brown and appear striped. Strands of slime hanging from the caps of the two mushrooms in the middle and right.

Unsure which species of Gliophorus mushrooms these are, but you can tell they're extremely viscid!

Photo of 9 slime mold sporangia that look like tiny, orange hot air balloons lined up in a somewhat disorderly row. The sporangia are on dark coloured, dead wood with bright green moss behind them.

Really cool Xylaria sp. found decaying wood in Point Reyes, CA. Sample taken. My uneducated assumption is it could be species CA05. www.inaturalist.org/observations... #mushrooms #fungifriends #naturephotography

If you're visiting Cannon Beach, Oregon anytime soon, be sure to drop by White Bird Gallery!! I just dropped off 12 sculptures there 🥰

Those are all one of a kind sculptures that stand about 8 inches tall each. All but two of those have sold I'm afraid 😅😅 I have a link to available online work in my bio.

The cool part is this tree has two trunks, and one part (obviously dead) is covered with them. The other side is healthy and green still.

Yes absolutely I do, that sculpture is at a gallery in Astoria Oregon called Weird Sisters :)

I also found some awesome (?)schizophyllum(?) today!! Love finding urban mushrooms in my day to day. 🥰 #fungifriends #mycology #fungus

I found such a good collection of (?)Turkey Tails(?) today!! 😍😍 #fungifriends #mycology #fungus

A light brown and white mushroom grows out of slightly mossy and fir needle-covered ground. Its stipe is white and has a bulbous and ruffled base. Its large, dome-like cap is light brown and is covered in nearly evenly spaced white patches.

I'm not positive which species of Amanita this is, but I still found it pretty enough to be worthy of a nice portrait 🍄📸

Seeing a lot of other artists post about their Faire Wintee Market so I guess I should at least mention that I sell my stickers, cards, and earrings on Faire! 😊 If you're a retailer with a brick and mortar please use my direct: faire.com/direct/wkdwest

Photo of what looks like bright blue, short golf tees on a dead tree trunk. The tree trunk is a light, mottled beige colour. There are about 20 or so of the blue “golf tees”.
