tbh either character would fit either of us x-x

just depends who wants to do the side profile lol

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 :)

Mushroom fact of the week!

Mushrooms scam trees!

Some fungi get their nutrients by exchanging nutrients with plants. The fungi provides phosphorous and the plant gives carbon in return.

The less phosphorous available, higher price the plant will pay for the phosphorous, giving more carbon for each unit received. However, when there is more available the fungi will receive less carbon for its troubles.

So what these fungi do, being the scammers they are, is transport phosphorous through the mycelium from areas of high abundance to areas of low abundance where it is more scarce and fetches a higher price. This way, the fungi is able to get much more carbon out of the plant.

I love mushrooms :3

Mushrooms are great™️ :D

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!

Beware the ides of march!

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.

See the rest of my posts for Funguary here!

What did I do to deserve this T-T

Mutuals what are y’all doing I can’t be the only one with self preservation skill because I don’t have them

I decided to do a meet the artist! :D

So! Important things: My name's Mycota, like the mushroom, and I'm your local mycelium obsessed *probably* human! (sorry, the names different in art, I'm working on updating it)

Theres also a couple other hyperfixations mixed in there, currently being Hermitcraft, The Magnus Archives, and Minecraft :)

I post about mushrooms every Saturday (#mushroom of the week), and I have a TON of mycology related posts over in my Funguary 2025 right here! :) I am definitely not hyper fixated on fungi whatsoever (definitely not)

As for art, it happens whenever about whatever but it does happen somewhat often!
