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 :)
heya ik we're not moots but tell me somethign and i'll draw it (preferrably epic or mcyt or like. Actual things that exist. Butttt pop off do anything)
We're mutuals now :D
I know mcyt a lot better than epic tbh, for epic possibly Aeolus? She is my favorite character and gets no art 😞
Aaaand for mcyt how about Cleo and the Ghost of Bdubs horse? Or possibly Grian's insanely excessive welcome back gift?
Pixie parasol, or Mycena interrupta, is found on deadwood in damp areas. It connects to its substrate via a bluish tufted basal disc.
The word “interrupta” is latin for interrupted, or broken, and likely refers to the appearance of the gills (see photo)

Funguary!!!!!
My time has come!!!!!!
February is right around the corner, which means it’s soon time for Funguary 2025! The drawing event where we draw a bunch of mushroom based characters during the month of February.
Rules are super simple, just draw art related to mushrooms! No need to complete all the prompts, just pick and choose from the ones you feel inspired by🍄
I feel very mushroom biased some of these funguary posts I have spent hours compiling research and formatting it nicely, I've even used paper sources and cited studies on a some of them, then for some like the Crepidotus I can't find anything interesting, spend five minutes on it, and give up.
I'm sorry T-T
I promise I'm trying my best, some of these fungi are just basic
Not oyster mushroom though, love that one <3

The cremini is one of the most commonly and widely consumed mushrooms in the world. It is cultivated in over 70 countries. You’ve likely heard of this mushroom, it goes by several different names for its two different appearances in its immature state and even more names in its mature state. Some of these names include button mushroom, champignon, chestnut mushroom, and portobello.

Most species that would come to mind when you think of fungi are basidiomycetes, fungi that produce their spores in cells called basidia. This phylum of fungi contains most of the “fleshy” fungi, including all fungi with gills or pores. Some “fleshy” fungi however, like the Scarlet Cup, are Ascomycetes. Mushrooms like morels and saddle fungi are also a part of this phylum. Ascomycetes produce their spores in sac-like structures called asci, unlike the basidia of the basidiomycetes. See the diagram below for more clarification on the difference between asci and basidia!
