I went to check in on the wizard and found two species of colorful slime mold hanging out together. Yellow: Hemitrichia clavata Carmine red: Arcyria (probably denudata) #slimemold #myxomycetes #fungifriends

Winter fungus vibes! #Mushrooms #FungiFriends

#terugblik2025 thema #MijnSlechtsteFotoVan2025 My worst photo of 2025 was one where I accidentally moved the camera but I still like it.

Voor #ElkeDagEenInsect een prachtig maf beest uit de nog steeds niet uitgeputte map Borneo 2018: Pyrops whiteheadi, een cicade die tot de familie lantaarndragers (Fulgoridae) behoort.

QRP to reintroduce yourself and your art! Hi there! I'm an indie artist and writer who draws digitally a variety of subjects but most often nature related. I like to experiment with different digital brushes and styles and I illustrate my books too

I’ve found some laurel leaves that decay in an interesting mosaic-like pattern. I don’t know what does this, maybe a fungus? #forest #nature #photography

Ancient laurel tree with long arms in the mist. #forest #trees

My friends, I jumped up and down with joy when I found this spot. What a fantastic and beautiful forest. #fungi #fungifriends #moss #ferns

Since it's a season when a lot of people are spending time with friends and family: what are your favorite made-up games and traditions to play during the holidays? DIY scavenger hunts, almonds baked into cakes for win a prize, Scrabble tournaments that get way too heated... please share em all!

Stereum mushrooms. #fungi #fungifriends #moss

Eyelash fungi in a very wet forest #fungi #fungifriends

Orthoceras (big) and Lituites

This Russula would be such a pretty lipstick color. #fungi #fungifriends

Another lichen college. On lakeside rock, Northwest Territories, Canada. #lichen #fungi #fungifriends

Madeira chaffinch, a colorful finch that only lives on Madeira. This is a male. #birds

This is a wild passionfruit flower. Wild fruit photo below. #flowers #bloomscrolling

This mushroom looks like a slice of a tree. #fungi #fungifriends

Really cool liverwort (?) that I saw in Madeira. Photo of backside of the plant below. Not so familiar with liverworts yet but they seem interesting. #liverwort #moss #plants

A cool variety of lichens. #lichen #fungifriends

Weird two-horned mushroom I don’t recognize. #fungifriends #fungi #madeira

The storm has brought entire nests of lichen down. #lichen #madeira

About two hours off the plane I found my first Madeiran slime mold (probably?) in salmon pink. #slimemold #myxomycetes #fungifriends

How I sleep in the winter

Ok, 13 lizards and that is my final offer. #lizards #herps #madeira

Snakeskin liverwort (Conocephalum conicum). You can see why. #liverwort #moss #madeira

White doves on a lamp. #birds

Since nobody guessed it, this is the Madeira chaffinch (Fringilla maderensis). They’ve recently been promoted from subspecies of the Eurasian chaffinch to their own species due to genetic evidence. #birds

More tiny lizards!! Forgot to tag the location: #madeira #lizards #herps

Banarnar #banana #plants

I love the tiny lizards :) #lizards #herps

Chilling with some of the sweetest, cuddliest #donkeys

All I want is 1. look at birds 2. big fruit drink

I just lost #whamageddon at lunch :( 8 more days to go, godspeed to those still in the running! On the plus side, a small bird just landed and is eating lunch with me #birds

A #lichen mosaic and #moss

In all its fuzzy pompom glory. This is a few mm tall. Hemitrichia clavata. #slimemold #myxomycetes #fungifriends

Finding the Netflix series with the least amount of sex scenes to watch on the plane

Sometimes I hear people talking outside my front door and I realize the people outside can hear all the songs I sing to my cat

. At the same perch, so probably the same Great blue Heron as earlier posts... but joined with a fellow Belted Kingfisher at Koll Center Wetlands today! #TwoForOne #birds #birding #birdwatching #Heron #Kingfisher #birdphotography #art #photography #wildlifephotography #pnw #wildlife #wilderness #pdx

Slime mold fruiting bodies, these remind me of those slime enemies in Legend of Zelda, the ones that go boioioing when you hit them with your sword. Hemitrichia clavata. #slimemold #myxomycetes #fungifriends

I see you. Probably sulphur tuft mushrooms. #fungi #fungifriends

Stuck my GoPro in the pond to take a timelapse when the tadpoles were still there... #nature #hiking #love #frogs #bluesky #scape #pondscape #cool #PNW #herps #smallwonders

Xanthoria parietina #lichen apothecium. First try with sections on the macro setup. Lessons learned: cup diffusor works. Use a sharper razor blade for a better cut...

Slime mold and a black velvet looking mushroom growing out of a crack in tree bark. #slimemold #myxomycetes #fungifriends #fungi

Porcelain fungus, always so shiny and half transparent. #fungi #fungifriends

Totally had to copy the alignment chart I saw Simon's Cat doing. My little monsters are ideal for it! Dave, of course, is chaotic evil. Enjoy! #alignment #good #evil #chaoticneutral #chaoticevil #lawfulgood #chaoticgood #neutralgood #lawfulneutral #trueneutral #lawfulevil #neutralevil
