I recently made an earth star inspired sculpture! This one is currently living at Weird Sisters in Astoria Oregon. 😁

Slime mold, Craterium minutum on lichen, Parmelia sulcata. NWT, Canada.
#lichen #fungi #fungifriends
The slime mold sporangia are only about 2 to 3mm high.
Photo of a dozen or so tiny, bronze coloured slime mold sporangia that look kinda like tiny cups on short stalks…the cups have covers. The slime mold is on a green, leafy lichen.

Unsure which species of Gliophorus mushrooms these are, but you can tell they're extremely viscid!

Three mushrooms grow on mossy sloped ground. The farthest back is the largest and bends out from the ground in an almost "s" shape, its cap pointing left and hanging horizontally. The middle and right mushrooms are smaller and grow straight up. The stipe of the three mushrooms starts as yellow near the ground and quickly fade to a slightly transparent white which extends up to the cap. The caps are a yellowish brown and appear striped. Strands of slime hanging from the caps of the two mushrooms in the middle and right.

Slime mold, Trichia decipiens in front of bright green #moss. NWT, Canada.

The slime mold is about 0.5cm high.
Photo of 9 slime mold sporangia that look like tiny, orange hot air balloons lined up in a somewhat disorderly row. The sporangia are on dark coloured, dead wood with bright green moss behind them.

Really cool Xylaria sp. found decaying wood in Point Reyes, CA. Sample taken. My uneducated assumption is it could be species CA05. www.inaturalist.org/observations... #mushrooms #fungifriends #naturephotography

I'm not positive which species of Amanita this is, but I still found it pretty enough to be worthy of a nice portrait 🍄📸

A light brown and white mushroom grows out of slightly mossy and fir needle-covered ground. Its stipe is white and has a bulbous and ruffled base. Its large, dome-like cap is light brown and is covered in nearly evenly spaced white patches.

Photo of what looks like bright blue, short golf tees on a dead tree trunk. The tree trunk is a light, mottled beige colour. There are about 20 or so of the blue “golf tees”.

Bandcamp pays artists about 80% of sales. And prohibits AI music.

If you believe music is important, stop using Spotify.

In April 2024, Spotify implemented a new scheme: songs with less than 1k streams per year would no longer receive royalties.

The data for 2025 was just released via Luminate, and 88% of songs have been demonetized.

Read it again: 88% of songs on Spotify have been demonetized.

Very disappointed by the reporting and official response to Deathcaps in California. Preaching abstinence instead of educating the public is damaging the reputation of mushrooms as a whole and will only lead to confusion, fear, and ignorance. #deathcap #amanitaphalloides

I still look back at this and it excites me so much that I know I have to start working on the next mycology zine 😍😍😍
