My Work For Week One Of Round Two Of The @mcyt-soulmate-sweepstakes!

Funguary Day 25: Trumpet of Death

“Trumpet of death” is actually a misleading name, as these mushrooms are highly sought after for being edible. They are also known as “horn of plenty” and can be found in autumn. They do, however, have several poisonous lookalikes.

I will be back to my regularly scheduled mycology tomorrow :)

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

heeeyyy @madoxeal feel like doing a two artists one base with me? :3

tbh either character would fit either of us x-x

just depends who wants to do the side profile lol

Funguary Day 14: Crepidotus

The term Crepidotus refers to a whole genus of fungi characterized by their small convex or fan shaped caps and their growth of decaying wood or plant debris. The most visually notable member of this genus I could find was the cinnabar oysterling, a mushroom with a bright red to orange cap and flame-like fibers at the edge of the cap and margins of the gills. 

Crepidotus cinnabarinus shows up in late summer and early fall, and its bright colors make it stand out against fallen branches and rotting trees.

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

Whoa :0

They're so neat!!!!

Funguary Day 27: Scarlet Cup

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!

Ghost pipe flower

The Ghost pipe flower is a pale white flower that lacks chlorophyll. Instead of photosynthesizing, it gets its nutrients by tapping into the network of fungi beneath the forest floor. Sometimes they are referred to as fungus flowers due to their resemblance of pale mushrooms.
