reblog only if you’ve received less than 1000 boops! we can all get each other to “max”

I woke up this morning and I found the most amazing thing! In the pot of my bear's paw succulent or cotyledon tomentosa I found this small mushroom.

It's about 2 cm tall and the cap is 0,8 cm broad. The gills are white/cream coloured. Unfortunately, I could not tell what the attachment of the gills was.

In the the somewhat blurry pictures below, it seems that this small mushroom has white mycelium.

I have not been able to identify the species, I will have to put some more time into researching that:)

What I have noticed is that anytime I pick up the pot with the cotyledon tomentosa and the tiny fungus, I can immediately smell the mushroom. I do not know if that makes sense, but is has a very strong fungi smell, so much so, I can nearly taste it.

Sometimes I translate random stuff...

Харуки мураками - охота на овец

Бах, прикуривая от массивной зажигалки. - Прекрасно тебя понимаю. Разрушить горы, построить дома; останками гор засыпать море - и опятв  понастроить дома... Некоторые идиоты до сих пор считают это прекрасной идеей.

Haruki Murakami - A Wild Sheep Chase

Bach, lighting a cigarette from a massive lighter. - I understand you perfectly. Destroy mountains, build houses; to fill the sea with the remains of mountains - and again build houses ... Some idiots still consider this a great idea.

This is a random paragraph of a random page of a Russian translation of Haruki Murakami's 'A Wild Sheep Chase' (in Japanese: 羊をめぐる冒険).

I probably made some mistakes with translating it.

Hihi!! You like mycology right?

What's your favorite Fungi (mushroom or otherwise)? Do you have a favorite fact about them? I'd love to hear about mycology it sounds cool!!!

Hii!! Yea, I really like mycology! It's tough to pick a favorite fungi, because they're all very interesting and also beautiful.

I must say I really like shaggy inkcaps (coprinus comatus), because in the autumn they're all over the place (at least where I live). It's like they're taking over the world, which is awesome. Shaggy inkcaps I like because they're so familiar to me.

Another fungus I like is Devil's tooth or Hydnellum pecki, it's just so fascinating to me! It's so interesting to me that the fruiting bodies of this fungus can 'melt' or 'morph' together. Also the red fluid it leaks, I'm very interested in knowing what the exact chemical compounds in that fluid are and how they might react with or to other substances. I would have to do more research.

Ultimately, I don't know if I really have a favourite fungi, but the shaggy inkcap and devil's tooth certainly have a way of keeping my interest. I'm also not sure whether I have a favourite fact about them either. What is interesting, however, is that once shaggy ink caps start leaking 'ink' you can use that to make spore prints and even use it as, well, ink.

Mycology is a great topic to study. There are so many species, that differ so much from another. It's fascinating. I'll drop some links below to a few websites that you might be able to find some interesting information on. I hope this answers your questions. If you have anymore questions, I'll be happy to answer them:)

The image of the Devil's tooth fungus is from this website:

There are many more websites, but these two just offer information on a great variety of fungi.

I went to the botanical gardens and found some cute critters...

Some frogs...

I think these are phantasmal poison frogs or Epipedobates tricolor, but I am not 100% sure.

Some koi fish...

And this majestic bug...

I think it's an Heteropteryx dilatata, but I am not sure...
