Funguary Day 26: Indigo Milkcap

Indigo Milkcap, or Lactarius indigo, is an edible fungi that bleeds a blue latex milk like substance when cut. This “milk” turns green when exposed to air, and is reported to have a mild taste similar to that of the fungi itself.

This is one of my extra works for the art event I'm in currently, the @mcyt-soulmate-sweepstakes!

It was made to match my teammate @that-onecookiehead's fic for week one!

Prompt: Bonfire

Points: 875

What do you think of The Last of Us and many of humans very.. fungal fate, so to say

I think they should be honored for the opportunity to become one with the mycelium 😌

no but seriously I loveeeee this game, it has to be one of my favorite games out there :) The tv show is great too

Fungi I found on my hike!

I WAS looking for morels, didn't find them but did find these guys!

I think top right is a wood ear mushroom, and bottom right is for sure a cedar apple rust fungi, but I don't know about the others

Nope. Are you a mushroom who lives in water?*pulls you out again and floods the askbox completely. We lay on top of the askbox*-Flooder anon

I have concluded that this anon is the fungi species Psathyrella aquatica, as observed by their tendency toward water

Mushroom fact of the week!

The white spots viewed on the fly agaric are actually not a part of the cap at all!

Many fungi’s fruiting bodies form inside a small sac, which when it breaks open becomes the universal veil. It's actually pieces of this sac that stick to the cap of the fly agaric becoming the appearance of white spots! If you were to touch the cap the spots would wipe off quite easily 

Pick a mushroom to eat!

Time for my favorite game, guess the mushroom that won't kill you! The People™️ did so well on my last one in fact that I've made it harder this time :D

Enjoy!

Funguary Day 11: Devils cigar

While emerging from the ground this mushroom looks like a cigar, giving it its name. When there is a sudden change in humidity (for example a rainstorm) this mushroom suddenly opens up, releasing its spores in a puff of “smoke”. Due to the pressure the spores release almost explosively, creating an audible hiss.  

It is also extremely rare, only being found in Texas and Japan

Hello! Ig we're moots now. And do you mind being tagged in tag games?
