Hello!

Not flowers :D

These flowers are not flowers, but rather a parasitic fungi's "pseudo flowers" it uses to spread its spores

The fungi infects the plant and siphons off its nutrients. In order to reproduce the fungi sterilizes the host plant, preventing it from making its own flowers.

It then forces the plant to grow yellow "pseudo flowers" that contain the fungi's spores. These spores are collected by pollinators same as the plant's own pollen would be and transferred from plant to plant, spreading the infection.

Funguary Day 24: Purple pinwheel

Pinwheel mushrooms are often overlooked not because of their size but because of their tendency to completely shrivel up and dry out in dry conditions, blending into the leaf litter. They can fully dry out over the course of the day, appearing dead, and restore completely to their original state just a few minutes after being submerged in water. 

The image below left was taken of a pinwheel mushroom (though not a purple pinwheel) just after a rain and the image below right was taken around noon the following day

This property was named “marcescence” by Elias Magnus Fries. The purpose has not been fully explained but it is possible that it is to maximize spore release when conditions are more favorable.

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

I need everyone to know how amazing these lil guys are I love the sm

Funguary Day 21: Birds Nest Fungi

The bird's nest fungi is named for its nest-like appearance, with “eggs” inside the main cup. The “eggs” are actually called peridioles and they're where the mushroom stores its spores. They're usually attached to the peridium (the main cup structure of the fungi) by a thin cord called the funicular cord. The cord is coiled inside a purse (see diagram below) until spore dispersal occurs. 

Bird's nest fungi are reliant on rain to disperse its spores. Raindrops trigger the spore release by splashing the peridoles out of place, as visible in this video. The purse ruptures and the cord uncoils as the peridoles are splashed into the air. Sometimes the funicular cord will wrap around a branch or twig and attach to the new substrate via the hapteron (see diagram below).

I love mushrooms :3

Mushrooms are great™️ :D

Gasp >:0

Funguary Day 20: Pixie Parasol

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)
