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

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

Those are all one of a kind sculptures that stand about 8 inches tall each. All but two of those have sold I'm afraid π

I have a link to available online work in my bio.

The cool part is this tree has two trunks, and one part (obviously dead) is covered with them. The other side is healthy and green still.

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.

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
