Cauliflower fungus, it’s their season. #fungifriends #moss

Waiting patiently

Can’t believe I used to wear gloves when touching slimy or weird things in the forest lol #slimemold #myxomycetes #fungifriends

“Bluesky is a social bubble” yes, but my bubble is people who cheer me on or advise me about keeping a pet slime mold.

There is something deeply comforting about the fact that slime molds don't like blood or meat, considering they can move surprisingly far in 8 hours and easily fit into spaces as small as, for example, the nostrils or the folds of the brain

I swear birds know when you’re opening the Merlin app.

Hm I don’t think Egger (bc it looks like scrambled egg) is too happy about their new Spartan environment and went into what I think is turbo sporulation mode.

@regularslimeguy.bsky.social Just found a Fuligo septica on a rock in the woods. Do you think there’s a chance of keeping it alive in captivity in this state?

I wanted to get a video of this ghost crab but every time I got close to their hole they scuttled back in, so I tried getting clever with it. I made a little sandcastle and shoved my phone into it, hit record, and walked away. Crab was VERY suspicious of this addition to their environment.

Rove beetle attacking with its big jaws and trying to bite through the beetle carapace. #insects #invertebrates #beetles #coleoptera

Rove beetles are fierce hunters. This one was in a long battle with a large prey: a dung beetle. #insects #invertebrates #beetles #coleoptera

Fairy inkcap (Coprinellus disseminatus) #fungifriends

I saw a wolf today! First time I see one in the wild. It wanted nothing to do with me, so I don’t have a picture. Instead, here’s an orange peel fungus (Aleuria aurantia). #fungifriends

Long shroom. Possible conical brittlestem (Parasola conopilea). #fungifriends

A polycule of shrooms omw to work #fungifriends

Tiny shrooms in wet moss. #fungifriends #moss

Small salamander from my night walk just now #herps #salamanders #amphibians

An ALIEN on earth!? 🤯👽 CHECK OUT this insane Treehopper from the Peruvian Amazon! 🌳 Membracids are known for their bizarre shapes and protrusions, but this genus goes to a whole new level! It is thought this crazy C shape is to aid in camouflage to avoid predation from birds! 🐦😳

Autumn is slowly making its way to the Netherlands. Can't wait to work on my Mushrooms in their Natural World Series again next month.

May the spores be with you ... #fungifriends

Whose eggs are these? #insects #invertebrates #forest

💡 #fungifriends

Ah yes, optics. Do you want the long answer or the short answer, for why I am in the middle of the forest rocking out to Pantera on headphones and holding a ziplok bag of soil. Because the difference may surprise you. Explaining you are doing it at 2am to avoid such questions always helps.

You’d think that people would be more grateful when you offer to show them a cool slime mold. But nooo they want to ask questions like “what are you doing here” and “why are you skulking around the woods with a flashlight”, pffft #slimemold #myxomycetes #fungifriends

Amanita phalloides - Deathcaps. #sketch #FungiFriends

I’ve posted this before, but for people wanting to find slime molds, here is a size reference. Personally I was only able to find slime molds regularly once I knew what size to look for (smaller than I thought). #slimemold #fungifriends #forest #nature

It’s rainy, time to post some slimes. Hemitrichia clavata yellow spore cups next to a Cladonia lichen. #slimemold #fungifriends #lichen

birdposting these guys are SO tiny

Horsetails, leopard frog & arrowhead ... one of my drawings from long ago

Urntjeswesp druk bezig met het bouwen van een nestje, heb vol verwondering het hele proces gevolgd. Van het af en aanvliegen, het vormen van het urntje, het afzetten van het eitje en het dichtmaken. 💛 #wespen #urntjeswesp #insecten #natuur #natuurfotografie #wonderewereld #naturephotografy

Share some watery art. Here's a little friend kayaking.

Goedemiddag! Kijk nou wat ik net zag in de tuin. Zo schattig dit rosse woelmuisje! 🐀🩶😍 #natuur #VandaagGemaakt #tuinpost

I pick a small branch of water mint and stick it on the bow of my kayak so that I can smell it all day. #bloomscrolling #plants #herbs

Great cormorant, a stately looking bird. #birds #nature #photography

A Pinecone Bonnet (Mycena seynii) near Wareham Forest - a beautiful pink bonnet mushroom which looks to be quite uncommon 🩷 #Fungi #Mushrooms #MushroomMonday

Taking Bigfoot quality photos of my favorite bird 👌 (Guess what it is lol) #birds

starry night

Blood moon with partial eclipse #lunareclipse #eclipse #moon #bloodmoon

Maybe this is just me, but I always assumed water lilies floated. Turns out most of the plant just grows under water. #waterlilies #waterplants

Colorful sunset over the water. Not pictured: the smell of flowering aquatic mint and other herbs. #kayaking #nature #sunset

Hedgehog art!

Hedgehog art!

Net/Ogre! Finding Ogres in the day time is a fun mini game because sometimes I'll spot a net and peer at every centimeter of the surroundings for 15 minutes and not find the creator, and sometimes she's just derped out right next to it, in stick mode 🤎

Consider: Baby saddleback 💚

Good morning! For day 2 of #Leptember here is one of natures finest, an Oleander Hawk-moth (Daphnis nerii). A home reared specimen, held by my daughter just before its release.

Hedgehog face drawing I made today. #eastcoastkin #art #hedgehog
