CONGRATS (TO MOST OF YOU) FOR CHOOSING THE RIGHT FUNGI!!!!!!

Funguary Day 12: Cremini

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.

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.

Mushroom fact of the week!

Spalting is a pattern of dark black webs that appears in wood. It's quite sought after in woodworking for its unique appearance, but is actually caused by competition between the different fungi inhabiting the log.

The black lines are what's known as zone lines. Fungi make walls when they feel another fungi nearing in on their territory to protect their resources, resulting in black lines.

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

I could tell from the veil xD Destroying angel was one of the first ever mushrooms I learned about when entering the mycology community

I'm proud to know that the majority of us will not die from eating the wrong fungi 😃👍

Truly though, that mushroom is drilled into your head the second you become a part of the mycology community, it, and the death cap

Happy April fools!

Let's play a game! :D Which of the following mushrooms are you going to eat?

In this game you can't say none of the above. You have to choose. I promise at least one will be a tasty snack. The other one is less so. Good luck :D

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
