(forgetting what i was going to say 30 seconds ago and not being able to remember) Oh well who cares What's the fucking point anyway to anything. (Remembering a fact I read 4 days ago about beetles) Life is lowkey Symphonic.

A Slime Mold that I found while splitting firewood. A few minutes after exposure to the open air, the little sausage-looking things popped and became orange fluff. I also like the Dr. Seussian stalked molds.

Close-up of the lobes of Parmotrema lichen. The lobes are wavy and there are thin ropes of soralia along the edge. They are packed together densely on the thin azalea branches.

The branches of azalea shrub covered with colonies of Parmotrema lichen. They appear as white-grey growth on the branches, and spring leaves are emerging from the branch tips.

Parmotrema austrosinense. For some reason, the azalea shrubs attract this lichen, and they become highly visible during winter when the shrubs lose the leaves. Saku-ra-saku Lane, Saku, Nagano #Lichen #FungiFriends

On the same bridge railing, there is this. Here, this #lichen is everywhere so our eyes do not see it and if we do we care not so much to look closer but, oh boy! When you do #FungiFriends

Beige and white mushrooms on a log.

2nd therapy visit today... trying to stay reasonably skeptical without getting overly anxious nor packing my emotions away for the day -_- walkin' on a tightrope

Can’t believe this beauty i spotted the other day 😍

I found these Mycena pura/lilac bonnets yesterday. Very frustrating because their subtle purple hue would not show up with my phone camera. #fungifriends #fungi #mycology

Still completely obsessed by these little weirdos this week. Bog Beacon. New Forest. #fungi #fungifriends

only very tiny things can get in/out, so while theyre safe from predators theyre definitely still a part of the larger microbiome of my backyard

no, i didnt know that was a thing u could do until now 😅 we added live soil in spots and kept all the worms, isopods, & other critters that came with it. even the enclosure itself isnt entirely sealed - we have it sitting outside and just last night i saw a surprise baby slug in there

Shiny black slime mold heads on stalks from up close. The substrate is covered with the brown slime layer.

Here’s some shiny #slimemold plus some unknown yellow fungus.

For Autism Acceptance Month, I would like to accept this autism on behalf of my body, from which I was so disconnected for years because its sensitivities and discomforts were inconvenient & had no explanation before I was diagnosed. We were right: the noises were too loud & the shirt was scratchy.

Barkless, layered and textured wood of a fallen tree, with sunlight falling in low, enhancing the shadows.
