I’ve found what i think to be Pluteus leoninus growing in a fairly large group on a well rotten beech tree. Only my second time finding a yellow Pluteus. How fun! #fungifriends

I was so fascinated by this fungus when I found it at Sheffield Park! misidentifyingfungi.blogspot.com/2019/05/fung... Unbelievable biology.

Hirsutella sp. 🍄 22 spot ladybird 🐞 Brought to life using AI 🤖 #fungifriends

Only 60 years ago we still thought fungi to be weird types of plants 🍄🤔🌱 With shared characteristics such as immobility, having a cell wall and growing out of substrates like soil, it was easy for early natural historians to group these two hugely diverse groups together. So how were they split? 🧵👇

This is some nice #timelinecleanse stuff right here.

Moss sporocarps encased in dew drops. A non fungal / Myxo post for a change 💧😊#macrophotography

So @wildjustice.bsky.social is too edgy for @privateeyenews.bsky.social ! We're fans because the magazine speaks truth to power . That's what WJ tries to do too . We were surprised when PE said that it wouldn't run our second and third adverts , especially as they gave no reason for this .

Marasmius sect. Sicci (M. haematocephalus group) photographed during last night's night hike in Pastaza, Ecuador. Broom cells on the cap give this species a unique texture - it was described from Brazil in 1837. #fungi #fungifriends #mycology #marasmius #marasmiushaematocephalus #mushrooms

An acquaintance of mine who is from Uganda and very involved in charity work posted a story about the country shuttering all HIV/AIDS clinics due to the USAID shutdown. So that's awful. And I hate it. I'm going to go cry now. Donate to her charity, they're good people www.ecoagricuganda.org

The fungus has 20 - 40% polyporic acid and this reacts with alkalis to give the vivid purple colour.

A toxic bracket fungus?🧐☠️👀 Hapalopilus rutilans - Cinnamon Bracket Image two shows the reaction after applying KOH (potassium hydroxide) #fungifriends

Wednesday Waxcap: These are Hygrocybe lepida, until recently in Europe we would have called these H. cantharellus but the European species are genetically distinct from the American forms where the species was described #FungiFriends #Fungi #Mycology #UKWildlife #Nature #Mushrooms #Naturalist

This one is tiny even by my standards 😝 #fungifriends

In the game: the Angler Ant, like the classic D&D "wolf-in-sheep's clothing," sprouts a harmless-looking lure to draw the unsuspecting forager close. Once you're in, spores puff in an AOE to infest your lungs, as the zombie ant lunges to attack. Hope your healer has plenty of mycorepellant potions!
