Time For The Grand Reveal The Poisonous Mushroom Was...

Woods adventure :)

Earlier today I went into the woods to hunt for bones with my grandpa, first thing we did was find where all the tracks were down by the creek, and there were a LOT. We found mostly deer tracks, but there were some raccoon tracks, rabbit tracks, and coyote tracks mixed in

As far as dead things go, there was some rabbit fur and feathers about, but no bones. There's been a hawk in the area lately, so it was probably him.

Of course, I did find fungi :D Its winter right now so theres not many about but the bracket fungi tend to stick around year round

I'm not sure what species it is, so if anyone knows let me know. There was also some reishi growing out by the wood pile, those have been growing there for almost a year now.

This horribly spiked honey locust tree was out to get me, and it did in fact spike me.

I was out in the woods a good 45 minutes before I headed back, and there were sadly no bones or antlers to be found. I did find some pretty blue glass and a crayfish claw though :D

Then I headed to the barn to see if any owls had left some bones for me. They had not, but the lighting was really nice :)

Funguary Day 10: Guepinia

Most of the mushrooms I’ve talked about so far this funguary have a defined gill or pore structure that produces the fungi’s spores, but Guepinia lacks that. The upper side of the mushroom is quite sterile, usually with a few isolated basidia (spore producing structure), while the underside of the mushroom is where the hymenium (spore producing tissue) is located. Overall the mushroom has a very gelatinous texture, more so at the edges while the base has a cartilage-like consistency. 

See my posts for the rest of funguary here!

May I ask what the third flag in your little pinned post is? I’ve never seen it before

It's the ADHD flag! aka my favorite :)

WAIT STOP YOUR BLOG IS SO CUTE I LOVE IT

Aaaaaa ty!!!!!!

Its here!!! Weeks of work and we finished it!!!!!!!!!!!

AAAAAAA I'm so excited

(I was the artist for the project, hope y'all love my stunting rendition of Your Left Sock)

Project: Mycelium

Woah. So. Me and @themushroomstheyfoundme were working on a collaborative piece for the Two to Tango segment of @mcyt-soulmate-sweepstakes !! The end product is a short piece of found media set inside a world we built and it's really cool >:D

the whole thing is under the cut, but you can also check it out at this link for the higher-quality pdf version to get a more immersive experience :>

trigger warning for a teensy teensy bit of blood towards the end, btw

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

Thanks for the art inspo I'm off to draw these as lollipops :)

*checks to-do list*

Maybe later this month.

Funguary Day 3: Spotted Cort

This is a lovely mushroom, and also a perfect example of mycorrhizal fungi!

The mushroom’s mycelium surrounds the roots of the tree and helps the tree to absorb water and nutrients. In exchange, the mushroom is provided with food and amino acids produced by the tree.

Testing One-Two?

Please ignore. Just making sure I can figure out links for my masterpost.

Let's talk about possible uses for the dried ghast!

-Lampshade

-Lawn gnome

-Toaster

-Plushie to sit on my shelf

-Rock for landscaping

-Put him in trees as a weird alien fruit

-Back to toaster, you see the resemblance right?

-Stepping stones in pond

-Outlet/plug

(your honor this is a joke)

coughcoughprobablycough

I have cried about him no less than 3 times today

Did the soulsand dry him out??? Did his mommy abandon him??? Are those his mom’s bones and he got dried out waiting for her??? Do ghasts shrink if they cry too much? Why do ghasts eat snowballs if they’re from a no-water environment? Are ghasts from the overworld originally and that’s why there’s fossils there too?

Also the implication of people using the dried ghasts as building blocks? NO! YOU PUT THAT POOR BABY IN WATER RN I SWEAR

Fun fact, there are mushrooms living in your lungs right now!

Humans breathe anywhere from 500 to 100,000 spores daily depending on local environmental conditions. The fungi have a variety of ways to survive the immune response of the human body. Most are harmless and either die or do nothing at all. However, some fungi spores inhaled are possible pathogens or cause respiratory issues, and others are essential to a healthy microbiome .

So, if you’re breathing right now, just know that there's spores in that air, and your lungs are a nice cozy environment for them :)
