I love iNaturalist - it's a free app, you can contribute if you wish. Absolutely indispensable in identifying anything from mushrooms to grizzly bears. And you can add to the body of research by using it.

Playing around with a Raspberry Pi 5 in a new case... which allows me to use an M.2 drive. Net conclusion... Arm on the desktop is viable for me, but the Pi 5 is underpowered. Will be looking to replace my main PC with an Arm next year sometime.

Day 21 of posting cool mushrooms every day:

The Bleeding Tooth fungus (Hydnellum peckii) has both teeth on its underside and "blood" on its top!

The "blood" is extracellular fluid, which is squeezed out when the fungus absorbs water, increasing pressure until the red fluid is squeezed out!
