Deze tekening is af! De Valse Teervlekkenzwam, in een eerder jaar trof ik deze ongeveer zo aan in Stadspark Groningen. De guttatiedruppels lijken wel van geslepen barnsteen. Ik hoop dat deze er dit jaar ook weer groeit, binnenkort maar eens kijken. #fungifriends #StadsparkGroningen

Hats off and hands up 🙌 to @EpicLava for this astonishing capture of the Hawaiian nēnē on the wing...past the lava fountains of Eruption 32 of Kīlauea Volcano at Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park! Mahalo for the permission to repost, Epic Lava! #nēnē #kilaueavolcano #hvnp #epiclava #wowjustwow

Super interessant om te zien wat er gedurende een jaar zoal in de natuur gebeurt 💚 Dit heb ik vast mogen leggen in de Japanse kalender met al de micro seizoenen: de 24 Sekki and 72 Kō. Deze kun je als poster aanschaffen in mijn webshop op Redbubble. (delen is 🙏) #natuur #kalender #japan

The patterns of lichens and moss on this tree is fascinating to me #fungifriends
