I loved watching the squirrels eating these caps. Chasing and trying to steal the cap from each other. ๐Ÿ˜Š
Funny little guys!

Create a 'dopamine menu'โ€”a list of quick, rewarding activities (like a favorite song or a short walk) to recharge your brain during breaks. ๐ŸŒŸ #ADHDTips #DopamineBoost #StayMotivated #ADHDHacks

A bundle of small yellow mushrooms grow in a cluster together. Their stems are a brown-orange, and their caps are a beige-yellow. They are surrounded by fallen leaves and tree trunks in the background.

Day 39 of posting cool mushrooms every day:

Honey mushrooms (Armillaria sp.) are a forest pathogen! They cause white rot, which kills trees.

However, the largest single organism of Armillaria is 2,500 years old and 3.4 square miles (8.8 km2) in Oregon's Malheur Forest!

This is an old photo but I loved how the Eastern Bluebirds raised their brood. This one was teaching junior on how to search for food. This little one were born in our yard in Austin, TX

These are Lichenomphalia lichens, maybe ericetorum. Whichever kind it is, they sure are pretty. #fungifriends #fungi #mycology

Costco responded to shareholders requesting that it withdraw from DEI policies. The response was direct and to the point: Costco says, "Our board has considered this proposal and believes that our commitment to an enterprise rooted in respect & inclusion is appropriate & necessary."

Took this in Roy's Redwoods in Marin CA. iNaturalist suggested it's a Twiglet (genus Tuberia).

Pinewood gingertail/Xeromphalina campanella, post 3 of 4. These are older than the ones in the previous two posts, so their caps have flipped up. I love an effusive gill shot!! (Reminder: they are very tiny!) #fungifriends #fungi #mycology #naturephotography

"One of the great tragedies of mankind is that morality has been hijacked by religion. So now people assume that religion and morality have a necessary connection. But the basis of morality is really very simple and doesn't require religion at all."
