Happy Fungal Friday! Xylaria polymorpha (Dead Man's Fingers) is one of my favorite ascos to find. It breaks down timber for insects to eat. There is a rumor it can be used to promote lactation after childbirth but I want to look more into that and get back to ya! #happyfungalfriday #mushroom #fungi

HAPPY FUNGAL FRIDAY: To say I like the Mycena genera would be an understatement. I love their tininess and enigmatic identification. Majestic and, to me, a lovely marvel. #happyfungalfriday #mushrooms #fungi #mycology

Happy Fungal Fridays from the Redwoods. #happyfungalfriday #mushrooms

I always love a solid bolete. Leccinum scabrum aka Birch Bolete is ectomycorrhizal. There is something about them being ectomycorrhizal with one of my favorite trees that makes me smile. I've never eaten them but hear they are edible and great for stews and sauces. #Happyfungalfriday #mushrooms

Apparently on that Lepiota train. Lepiota castanea aka Chestnut Dapperling or Petite Parasol, will kill you without any guilt. She small but mighty. I can see why dapper is in their common names because I'm finding Lepiotas to be quite beautiful. #mushroom #happyfungalfriday #fungilover #mycology

Moving my art instagram (@kawaiifungi) onto here means one for sure thing - I most certainly need a new logo! My last one was a gaggle of mushrooms. Although fungal art will always be irresistible to me I'm excited to think of a more expansive logo since I like making all kinds of art in general.

Lepiota magnispora aka Fluffstem Parasol or Yellowfoot Dapperling. These are peak common names for a mushroom often described as non-descript despite being apart of a genera that can contain the same toxin as Amanita phalloides. Get it girl 🍄 #fungilover #kawaiifungi #mycology #mycophile

A slew of work I did for a little over 2 years making a Fungal guessing game. Although not sure how to do it on this platform yet, I figured putting one up each week would be fun. #fungi #whosthatfungus #mushrooms #digitalart

I like to think that Schizophyllum commune is one of the first girly-pops that convinces people to be a mycologist because she is such a cutie. #fungi #mushroom #splitgill #schizophyllum ##fungilover #fungalart

Commemorating a Happy Fungal Friday with my first stick and poke tattoo of a cutie mushroom! #happyfungalfriday #mushroom #fungallover #fungalfanatic #mushroomart

Things are always a little crazy in this world, but we made it to Friday, and I hope y'all are keeping centered in community and, most importantly, in yoself. 🩷🍄 Happy Fungal Friday #happyfungalfriday #fungiforever #doingourbest

Slowly but surely moving my art account here me thinks. #fungi #mushroomart #fungilover

It's wild witnessing the mass exodus of other social media apps, but I'm not mad about it. Learning Mandarin on Rednote makes it feel closer to living my Firefly fantas.
