The huge plasmodium I started watching the other day can be given a name at last. One fragment of it is already morphing into sporocarps. It's Badhamia utricularis, the most beautiful specimen I have ever found. Kicin, Wielkopolska (western Poland). #slimemoulds #śluzowce #Myxogastria #Amoebozoa

I never knew there were beach mushrooms 🏝️ 🍄‍🟫 Well, here is such a species… Dune Cavalier perhaps? Found at Tentsmuir Beach last week 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 #NatureWithin #Fungi

@botanybeck.bsky.social You were right. My first waxcaps of the year woo hoo. Three hours of trekking around the estate, despondent, heading home and 20 yards from cottage voila ! #fungifriends

A lovely day yesterday seeing some of my favourite waxcaps 🥰 It was wonderful to see them again even though some weren’t looking quite their best because of the recent dry weather. Also saw Earthy, Snowy, Slimy, Blackening, Golden & Pale. 17 waxcaps in a day is not bad!! #FungiFriday #MushroomMonday

They seem to have slowed now but this has definitely been an excellent year for Boletes. I’ve seen many species for the first time this year, including Devil’s Bolete, Bilious Bolete, Inkstain Bolete, Oak Bolete, a white Penny Bun & more! #Fungi #Mushrooms 🍄‍🟫🍄‍🟫🍄‍🟫

For #fungifriday here’s a beautiful Death cap - Amanita phalloides. Found today when out walking my dog (who thankfully doesn’t like mushrooms. #fungifriends

Wow, nature is too cool! Structures on stinkbug hind legs that used to be interpreted as ears are actually chambers with fungi. The bugs coat their eggs in those fungi to protect them against parasitoid wasps. 🧪 Defensive fungal symbiosis on insect hindlegs | Science www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

It's been a late start this year with the dry weather but the grassland fungi are finally appearing. I'm going to post a waxcap species each day as we move through peak fruiting season, hoping to encourage folks to recognise and record this important group. @plantlifeuk.bsky.social

Bit of a surprise this morning - a Juniper Shieldbug sat very nicely on our one, remaining, very small Ragwort flower in the garden! #wildwebswednesday
