A mid-snack temporary cold-induced stupor allowed me time to capture these water droplets resting on the springtails hydrophobic (water proof) skin.

💦Fungi on 🐿️💩 (cf squirrel)

I believe the #fungi is something in the Mucorales, like Phycomyces. Regardless of species I love it. #fungifriends

We need a clear plan to meet the International Fungal Conservation Pledge.
Fungi are essential to healthy soils and ecosystems — they cannot remain invisible in policy.

Graphic showing a dark woodland floor with soft-focus mushrooms. Headline reads “Protecting Fungi: Government Action Needed Now.” Beneath is a quote asking what steps the Government is taking to deliver the International Fungal Conservation Pledge and to assess actions to better protect fungi. A small circular photo of Natalie Bennett is shown, labelled “Green Party Peer,” with the Green Party logo and imprint at the bottom.

Frosty bonnet #fungifriends
Mycena tenerrima- frosty bonnet. A focus bracketed imaged composed of 80 plus frames pieced together in helicon focus to achieve clarity. The mushroom its self is only 1mm tall. I used an OM1 camera / OM 90mm macro lens and a x2 teleconverter to capture this image. A scale image taken with a phone next to an ATFF forensiograph scale ruler 📏
