A verdant hill is covered with multi-colored trees, their autumn foliage creating abstract shapes against an October sky. This painting was inspired by a drive through New Hampshire in the fall.

Contentment
A purple faun sits happily under a large fantastical willow trees. The sky is the colors of a sunset and the grass is pink with butterflies. A bunch of moons float in the sky and a little flowing stream passes below.

Caught out in the rain 🍄📷
#fungi #nature #photography #mushrooms #fungifriends
A young Fomitopsis ochracea growing attached to underside of old wood; shelf like fungi, this one has an elongated shape with surface colours of brown and gray, with pileus margins and underside an off-white. Cap surface is covered in drops of water from a rainfall (the specimen will later expel any excess moisture vis the guttation process).

Mycena punkissima (sección Longisetae) from Cinco Palos, Veracruz, Mexico. Photographed in the type location on July 3, 2017, two years before it was described.

Have a snowy one today
A snow-covered rock with a heroic relief near the top. There is an image of a rusted bronze sword at the bottom.

A giant (about 3cm) Lichenomphalia umbellifera with its green thallus…on a stick. #lichens #fungifriends
A small yellow mushroom grows from a dead tree branch. The green thallus of this basidiolichen lichen species is visible on the branch/at the base of the mushroom.

Old mushroom/mycelium sketch
#fungi #mushrooms #digitalart
Illustration - a cream mushroom with red gills and a semicircle of cream, maze-like mycelium beneath it. Behind both fungus and its mushroom, the grey background writhes. "Underground", it follows the mycelium, whereas behind the mushroom, it spans outwards towards the edge of the frame, flowing like hair.

Common puffballs! Another 'shroom I've not spotted before, found on the same day as the Green elf cups and practically in the exact same place! Super abundant in their little neighbourhood and all absolutely tiny.
#mushrooms #fungi #puffballs #nature
Two spiky Common puffballs growing from amongst autumnal leaf litter. Taken with the flash on, highlighting every little spike, called "jewels"! A different cluster of three puffballs - two the same size and one about half of both. Surrounded by golden-brown pine needles. A (slightly overexposed) image of yet another cluster of puffballs from above. There were clusters like this across a large area, occasionally alongside elf cup stained wood.

Was very excited to spot lots of wood stained blue-green by Green elf cups today! Small pieces of wood were scattered all over the place, and the fruiting bodies were generally on the underside (I flipped the pieces for the first and fourth photo).
#mushrooms #fungi #nature
A wet, blue-stained piece of wood with a small, very blue elf cup next to a hunkered-down woodlouse. A yellow leaf behind the wood provides fantastic contrast. A more drastically stained and almost entirely blue piece of wood like a piece of oxidised copper among littered pine needles. Close up on a dry piece of wood which is stained blue only on exposed facets, so that it looks like a rock cut to expose shards of crystal. The underside of the previous piece of wood, where tiny fruiting bodies can be seen at the centre of the image. Close by, there are similarly shaped but yellow cups.

Stinkhorn spotted!
Two photos of the one mushroom. A lone stinkhorn appeared in this spot beneath a yew tree a few years ago, so I've kept my eye on it since.

#mushrooms #fungi
A second photo from the side, better showing the stinkhorn pushing up out of the leaf litter, with a bit of its own "eggshell" still stuck to the top of the cap. The small stinkhorn photographed against leaf litter. I managed to capture it here with two flies on. An animal had left some feces right next to it, but I only saw the flies give any attention to the mushroom.

Been learning to use Blender, remade the Sun and Moon faces from a previously 2D sketch.
#blender #3d
3D. A plasticky looking crescent moon, with the profile of a sleeping face, rests in blue light in front of a clay-sculpted sleeping sun. The sun's spherical head sits at the centre of a hemisphere of clay rays, lit from the side. The old 2d sketch. outlined in sketchy, scratchy pen lines, a sleeping moon floats infront of a sleeping sun. the crescent moon is turned away from the viewer, slightly towards the sun, and the sun's face is etched on its core with its outer layers peeled away like segments of an orange.

Sun & Moon III
A perfectly circular red sun with a stern face made of straight lines. Inside its pointy prominences, an equally stone-faced blue moon rests. Guide lines mark both faces.

Sun & Moon I I've been wanting to do some art with the classic sun and moon faces for a while, here's the first of a few...
on a cosmic blue background, in the thin string of an orbit on the edge of the frame, a red glowing of a sun presses in close against the two tips of a smiling crescent moon. the sun is structured with its face as an orb in the middle of a radiant corona, like a stone in a peach

not sure i ever posted this, some giant mushrooms for a project on the sidelines for now
enoki-style mushrooms with blue caps grow into a starry sky - under the ground, the mycelial roots are represented with negative space. one, from the base of an inquisitively leaned mushroom, reaches out to the feet of an onlooking figure.

still playing with this guy like playdough. this time he's been forced into tetris bricks. it's a long one.
loved how dynamic his poses can get even when forced into regular shapes. makes sense since he's a fun-gi (groan)

full image and then three sections for easy viewing
a long strip of an image framed in grey. yellow lichen jones appears repeatedly on a green background, chasing himself through various blocky shapes formed by the edge of his own self. does that make sense? this one's hard to describe. the first third of the long image, zoomed in. his wavy arms and legs form a rectangle in his first iteration. then, left leg and arm square against his previous self, one leg kicks forward in an L shape. a leg from the next frame kicks in from the right. splayed out in both directions, this figure looks like he's falling and flailing. followed by a splayed-arm copy split with impossible reach. next, the legs, torso and right arm of the next figure, his head out of frame atop a giraffe kneck. one knee juts out in an unintentionally phallic splotch. the head and a limp wrist jut in from the left. there's another figure contained on this page, the only with both arms and both legs on a single side. he's the first to be looking left, at his own hands. looking left again, the final figure is slouched out as if in bed, but with one hand up to his face.
