A 🍄‍🟫 photo a day: Found parrot waxcaps/Gliophorus psittacinus yesterday. Sadly, they were in a dark spot. I esp wanted a 📷 of the little one, it was so 💚 w/ a bright 💛 stem but this w/flash and the below w/out were the best I could do. The limitations of a phone camera☹️ #fungifriends #fungi #mycology

California-Kirkbride. California Ave. Caller says a bunch of local kids must have gotten into a worksite and got a bunch of metal pipes. The kids are currently chasing each other in the parking lot with the pipes, piping each other. Phrasing.

Bonus fungus photo: Yellow-legged bonnet/Mycena epipterygia. The only place in North America these grow is the PNW. I rarely see them. They are very tiny so hard to get a sharp photograph with my phone but you can see their yellow stipes (stems).

Donald Trump and Republicans in Congress just shut down the government.

Why? They don’t want to lower your health care costs.

BREAKING: Governor Pritzker calls for the removal of Donald Trump as President by invoking the 25th amendment. EVERY governor should stand behind the Illinois governor. Governor Pritzker also cited health concerns for the president. He is clearly not well.

That’s me in the video. And a Fox News host just celebrated me being assaulted by ICE.

If ICE will do this to a congressional candidate with a big platform, just imagine what they’re doing to the people they’re kidnapping.
