A cluster of Ganoderma brackets with a thick dusting of rust colored spore, at the foot of a water oak. (G. sessile I think)
I photographed these turkeytail mushrooms growing on an old branch that had fallen about 50 feet from my house. It really is true that there are photographic subjects in your own backyard.

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.

Releasing spores
#nature #naturephotography #mushroom #mushrooms #fungi #fungus #spores #summer #backlight
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.

I found this cap like this on the ground. It seems to be a Red Russula. However it makes me think of the classic “one bite missing from a poisoned apple” sort of imagery.

They found the liquid contains unique proteins that kill harmful #bacteria and #fungi. The #research helps explain how joeys survive in their mothers’ pouches and offers clues for better koala #conservation.
