Apologies! 😂

Am I the only one who can’t focus on a word he says because my whole mind is trying to reconfigure the bookshelves???? 🫣

Maybe you are meant to be a natural dyer! Enjoy them :)

Excellent condition dyers polypore. If you don’t dye you can dehydrate and gift or trade. They make great yellow, olive green with iron, and the dye in amazingly uv reactive. Like, safety yellow under uv black light. Very cool find. Tree is dying.

Dyers polypore, phaeolus schweinitzii

Ugh, mine as well, it’s a constant game of “are we there yet?”

Breathtakingly lovely, so much time and wonderful intent. The corners, so it sits beautifully on a bed. The stories it tells. My goodness, what a gift indeed.

Are you saying there are gardeners who just pull their weeds up willy nilly without letting them grow first to find out if they’re something interesting? 😯 Wow that would really make my garden a lot tidier🤔 🤣 🌻🌷

Yes, all sustainably foraged from ground fall. It is like a fun puzzle, with new layers to learn about. And they all make a wonderful palette together

Apothecia, the disk-like structure, is the reproductive part of the fruiting body. Very sexy. Also usnea is nature’s antibiotic. Cool find.

Cool!! I enjoy making yarn that glows in uv light (black light) using mushrooms and plants. Dyer’s polypore glows safety yellow under black light. Bloodroot glows orange. I want to make one with a hidden message 😉

I hate to repost, but it needs to be repeated.

1 Million to Musk w/ a net worth of 380 Billion, is the equivalent of the Avg. American (with a net worth 380K) spending $1.

Elon spent the Avg. American equivalent of $250 to buy a Presidency.

Think about that.

Then vote to Repeal Citizens United!

orange cored shadow lichen, the tiny green-brown phaeophyscia rubripulchra, has great pigment, a little powerhouse of peach, purple or yellow depending on extraction of the anthraquinones ☺️
