For blue, I guess it's just fungus, not really a mushroom.

#introduction. I'm Sunflower (not my real name), & I'm new to #Mastodon. (She/her/y'all). 30-something w/ fond memories of the #90s & early #2000s. I live w/ a hidden #disability & chronic #migraine. I like writing #altText on my photos, & maybe I have a bit too much fun w/ it. I love #crafting #hiking #photography #books & #fungi. I'm passionate about #Appalachia #Travel & #coffee. I love #rain, rainy days are my favorite. I try to practice #gratitude & see myself as a #nerd. Thx for ⭐️ & 🔄!

💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🍄🪨 Researchers at the University of #Michigan pulled #water from gas wells deep under the #GreatLakes and found a dense #ecosystem.

The water has remained #underground since the #IceAge more than 11,000 years ago. The isolated #environment contains hundreds of fungal species alongside tiny #worms and #tardigrades.

Dedos de muerto, claro que sí

Vimos honguitos en los senderos de Carara, muchos honguitos que crecen y se reproducen con muchas ganas con las lluvias y el calor.

Hongos que parecen copas, orejas, esponjas y hasta dedos de muerto.

Luego de haber hecho un par de jornadas con la gente de la Ruta Micológica apreciamos mucho más los honguitos y es mucho más fácil encontrarlos.

Turn over any rotting log and you might find these beautiful structures, although you'll need a decent lens to appreciate them. Known as the common coral slime (Ceratiomyxa fruticulosa) based on its coral-like appearance, this slime mold species is truly cosmopolitan, with a global distribution (this photo was taken in New Zealand).

The common coral slime was first described in 1729 by Pier Antonio Micheli, the Italian botanist who discovered fungal spores and is considered the 'founding father' of mycology — the branch of biology which concerns fungi.

Most mushrooms release their spores from their undersides through a catapult like action that shoots the spores out with incredible speed and force.

This Varnished Polypore was in the firing range of nearby mushrooms and itself, getting its top (!) covered with creamy brown spores. I rubbed away a heart-shaped patch to expose the mushroom’s normal appearance.

That’s a LOT of spores.

💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🧬🖼️ Researchers at the Royal Botanic Gardens, #Kew in #London have finished digitizing 7.4 million plant and #fungi specimens.

The massive online #database allows scientists worldwide to analyze historical blooming patterns and identify species at risk of extinction. By using #AI, the team can now distinguish between nearly identical #plants to accelerate global #conservation efforts.

Nectria peziza, Orangefarbiger Zwergpustelpiz
Den Pilz hatte ich zunächst eher für Insekteneier oder ähnliches gehalten. Die Kügelchen sind ganz winzig klein.

Stielporlinge, die Art habe ich nicht genauer bestimmt. Sie rochen sehr angenehm, aber es waren zu wenige und zu klein um über das Probieren nachzudenken.

Noch kleine, frische Pilze an einem Baumstumpf, ich nehme an, dass es Laubholz Knäuelinge sind.
Ich werde also weiter beobachten.

💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🍄🌍 Scientists mapped arbuscular #mycorrhizal #fungi – the #underground fungal threads that connect #plant roots.

Analyzing over 16,000 #soil cores from 322 studies, they found the network stretches 110 quadrillion(!) km in the topsoil, long enough to reach the #Sun nearly a billion times. #Grasslands and #prairies hold the densest networks, while #farming reduces fungal density by nearly half.

Schwefelporling an Wildkirsche, leider schon zu alt zum Essen. Die Gelbbindigen Schwarzkäfer stört das nicht. Sie mögen nicht nur Schwefelporlinge, sondern auch Birkenporlinge gern.

No luck this year finding any spotted skunks, but I did spot this! Ceratiomyxa fruticulosa, Common Coral Slime. Also, our vernal pool is back. So. Many. Salamanders!
