Hauntingly beautiful. My extended family used to gather and release a white balloon together to say goodbye to one of us that passed. Reminds me of them all flying away, each chasing a different memory blown apart by the wind. 🌿 🍄📷

Lichen + nails 🌿 🍄📷

Ear hair can be an awkward subject, but at a certain point it needs to be addressed. 🌿 🍄📷

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel, Disney Animated or Pixar.

If you’re taking your kids trick-or-treating tonight, remember that a beer cooler hauled along in a wagon makes the night magical

I’m getting out worked in my own yard. This little bee was dedicated. It spent about 10 minutes on that sunflower. Jackpot, for both of us. 🌱

My new neighbor is loud and doesn’t respect property boundaries. 🙃🌿

A slime infestation is my kind of idea of a good time. 🌿 🍄📷

The forest was quite rewarding today after some time away. Lots of good stuff out there, but there was one clear standout. 🌿 🍄📷

Crashed another private luncheon 🌿 🍄📷

My kids love imagining these shrubby lichen are little baby trolls hiding in the branches. 🌿 🍄📷

Extremely jealous of these elaborate sunburst lichen celebrations. 🌿 🍄📷

Western forest scorpions. These were snoozing under some loose bark that was clinging to an ancient fallen tree. The larger one was about 2”. The smaller one would fit in my thumbnail. 🌿

These are just begging to be characterized and animated. Stemonitis - chocolate tube slime mold. 🌿 🍄📷

The absence of good news can be tempered with a good walk. 🌿 🍄📷

Always worth looking below. 🌿 🍄📷

Couldn’t help but notice an aquatic theme to what I was finding today. Then I looked up. 🌿 🍄📷

Lots of good stuff out there today, but parrot waxcaps stole the show. 🌿 🍄📷

Lots of good stuff to be found out there, except poison oak. These are some finds from last week as my arms recover from that evil plant. Lots of rain has fallen here in the last few days though so the stage is set for tomorrow and beyond. 🌿 🍄📷

Coral fungi in Sonoma. Some type of clavulinopsis, either golden spindles or handsome club. These tiny growths are easy to miss even though their colors are striking. 🌿 🍄📷

Lots of good stuff out there today. We could sure use another round of rain but there’s still lots to be found. 🌿 #fungifriends

It was a western jack-o’-lantern show out there today. All different shapes and sizes came to the party, young and old. One was dressed up like a pretzel. 🌿 #fungifriends

Slugfest! Fascinating to see their unique markings so pronounced in the lighting. 🌿

During our hike today my son excitedly found something, “weird and blue” under a wooden support rail. From afar it resembled blue slime mold, but when I got closer I could make out exactly what it was. Chewing gum. Despite that letdown we had a great day finding color and life. 🌿 #fungifriends

Lots of tiny things out there today 🌿 #fungifriends

Lots of good stuff out there today. Instantly, too. You know how sometimes it can take a bit for nature to fully unveil itself to you? Not today. A true gift. 🌿 #fungifriends

Lots of good stuff to be found out there in between storms. 🌿
