Went hiking on a short trip in North Carolina and met some new (to me) #fungifriends this may be a Russula?

Here's an awesome critter for #Arachtober, a harvestman/harvester/daddy longlegs (order Opiliones). It's an arachnid that's not a spider; they don't produce venom or silk, and unlike most arachnids, can swallow chunks of solid food. This gorgeous burgundy individual was in Costa Rica. 🐙🌿 #Bugsky

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
