Finally got up to tour the UT Herbarium with my friend Django. These historic herbarium collections blew me away. AND we were able to pull the Lactarius purpureoechinacous Type and Django will be sequencing it for reference for the FunDiS Southeast Rare Fungi Challenge!! Answers soon!!!

I'm bummed there aren't more tabletop crafters here (yet!)

Draconic desert tavern WIP. Bottles in the style of Dark Matter Workshop with beads and capacitors. I'm super happy with how this is turning out!

Meet Merismodes fasciculata. This odd little basidiomycete was originally described by botanist and mycologist Lewis David de Schweinitz in 1832 from New York. This crunchy looking brown mass isn't very impressive when all dried up, but easily rehydrates to become these stunning little cups!
Three images of a very small cupulate fungus growing on a small tree branch. The bottom left image shows a mass of dried up, brown nodules on the branch. The bottom right shows a magnified view of the dried up, brown nodules. The top photo shows the fungus rehydrated and still wet, with each nodule opened into a white cup with textured, scapulate brown edges.
