Somewhat of a chemist who likes taking pictures of mushrooms, nature, my cat and other tidbits.

Found this gorgeous cluster on my walk today. Struggling with ID though. Could it be a velvet shank?

Table salt is a chemical compound consisting of sodium & chloride ions.

Sodium: a metal that explodes when put in water.
Chlorine: a gas that is toxic if inhaled at low concentrations.

The sum of the parts don’t equal the whole.

Use this logic with ALL chemicals. Facts matter.

What a fascinating fungus! It could hold my weight! Does anyone know what it may be? Some type of bracket fungus perhaps?
