I told the mycelia about you and it wanted me to tell you to not worry about today. They said “just absorb nutrients for now, you’ll grow big mushrooms later when the weather is right and your roots are ready”

Monotropa uniflora with 365nm UV on the center. They are popping up but this was the only one not facing downward I could find to capture.

Went out yesterday on a trip with Dr. Micheal Beug and was the only one to find a spring king.

We're glowing fans of this mushroom (likely Mycena podocarpi) that has bioluminescent mycelium 👀🌟
