Crumbly dog’s vomit slime mold outside my dentist’s office.
Very dusty crusty and dry, tan colored slime mold on dark brown wood chips. The slime mold’s top layer is chipped apart to reveal a brown spore-filled center.

The forest has eyes on fungi✨

#FungiFriday
Some drying out roadside mushrooms the ones in the front can be seen that their skirts are colored by the reddish brown of their spores. Behind it can be seen green foliage with some peeking blue sky, and a thick trunk with a dark cavity.

Russula sp. on the job!

Still haven’t been able to get out but hopefully once medication kicks in, I’ll be walking through the woods in no time! And not just to my car from work 😂
Cracked and frayed red topped Russula mushroom in the grass, looking awfully dry. Different angle of previous picture of cracked and frayed russula

Unfortunately I am still having issues walking and am seeing a rheumatologist, hoping for answers (and medication). Haven’t been on a good walk in a bit. But here’s a stinkhorn!

#SchizophyllumSunday 🤓
Schizophyllum commune (common name split gill) tightly packed onto a maple limb flanked by pale green Parmotrema lichen. The schizos are a beautiful cream color. The picture is taken so you can see the gills.

Pair of Bonnet (Mycena) mushrooms with a very small Katydid nymph sitting atop one; the Bonnets are conical shaped and flattening, light gray-brown with darker striations and umbo, stem is dark and slender. The Katydid nymph is bright green and very small, but mimics the adult form of a Bush Cricket.

A section of flat rock is 100% covered in orange and grey lichens. Looks a bit like dozens of paint splotches.
