I'm backing those radiant crystals of #Wavellite. Dioptase is pretty 'n' all but those beautiful botryoidal bumps win the day for me! Vote vote vote for the wavy one! #MinCup25 #VoteWavellite #HelpMeWinABracket

Can I get a side of flies with that? Gleba gone in 20 minutes--tiny fly feet tracking stinky spore goo wherever they land. Pseudocolus fusiformis.

"(Ils) Ont marché au beau village,
Marché, marché, marché, marché." Little white soldiers marching, marching, marching, marching...Multiclavula mucida growing in symbiosis with Coccomyxa algae. #FungiFriends #Mushrooms #Fungi #Mycology #SlimeMold #MushroomSky #MushroomMonday

Icy Candyland. Purple octahedral fluorite with a crisp, stepped second growth of pale green. Somewhere in AZ....

It's a devil of a Saturday. Zoned fluorite with galena crystals embellished with quartz micro-crystal "horns." Illinois...Denton?

Doesn't look like a sulfur tuft to me. They are more like pale yellow/greyish with dark greenish/grey gills.

Haaa! Keep at it. I recognized those as I've found, photographed and studied them. Yours are a little hard because they are raggedy. One day you will bump into a deceiver!

It's coming down to the wire! Topaz has beauty but goethite has PERSONALITY! It can form in bogs! Photo: Part of the Wall with Hermai from the park at Arkadia, Poland (an example for utilization of bog ore in architecture). Isn't that cool??!! #VoteGothite Do it now!

I had to think a bit but I do think the brilliant but fragile (Mohs 2.5-3) lead chromate needle beast Crocoite wins out. If exposed to heat, it can ignite spontaneously! You wouldn't want to lick it, but you sure can vote for it! #VoteCrocoite #MinCup23

Stibnite has some great associates! Realgar, orpiment, cinnabar, galena, pyrite, marcasite, arsenopyrite, calcite, barite and chalcedony. Stibnite needles in transparent calcite crystal. (Rob Lavinsky photo) #MinCup23

Ocracoke, NC! My favorite. We were extremely lucky that the park ranger just happened to be there and asked if we wanted to go in and look. It's not open to the public. It's beautiful! #OBX #OuterBanks #Lighthouse

For #FungiFriday, a fantastic rosecomb on Lactarius volemus (group). I love rosecombs! Best one I've ever found. #Mushrooms #Fungi #Nature

A slime mold caught my eye today but then I saw THIS! I didn't see any last year so this was a treat! A bit dry for latex but still gorgeous. Lactarius indigo (group). #Mushrooms #Fungi #Mycology

Wow! They are beautiful!! What area do you live in? I'm in VA.
Can't go wrong with these guys!

That's beautiful. I live lichen.

A "mushkeet". FINALLY seeing some mushrooms fungi out there. Saw some boletes including the beautiful orange Tylopilus balloui (kinda bad shape) but was happy to find some velvety tiger-eyeish Coltricia perrenis.
