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

Made a Whitepine art! This is made for the art event I'm in currently, the @mcyt-soulmate-sweepstakes

It's based off of a poem written by my teammate @that-onecookiehead, and the text on the image is an excerpt from that poem as well! :D

The poem is really good, it's right here, and you should definitely go read it :)

Funguary Day 10: Guepinia

Most of the mushrooms I’ve talked about so far this funguary have a defined gill or pore structure that produces the fungi’s spores, but Guepinia lacks that. The upper side of the mushroom is quite sterile, usually with a few isolated basidia (spore producing structure), while the underside of the mushroom is where the hymenium (spore producing tissue) is located. Overall the mushroom has a very gelatinous texture, more so at the edges while the base has a cartilage-like consistency.

Mushroom fact of the week!

Termitomyces fungus forms symbiotic relationships with termites. The termites bring the fungi plant material to decompose and build it "fungal combs" to grow in. In exchange the fungi provides nutrient rich spherules for the termites to eat.

But no need to worry, we all exist. We must remember the value of time, but we must not get stuck in the paradox of existentialism

-Timekeeper anon

After a long period of contemplation I have concluded this anons perspective on time itself gives to them being Armillaria ostoyae, as it is known to have live for thousands of years, giving it ample opportunity to observe the paradox of time

My art for round one of an art event I'm currently participating in! I decided to go with hermitraft 10 Gem for this prompt :)

@mcyt-soulmate-sweepstakes 

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

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 9: Parrot Waxcap

This absolutely gorgeous mushroom is the Parrot Waxcap, also known as Gliophorus psittacinus. It most commonly starts off its life as the bright and vivid green mushroom it is commonly known for being, and as it gets older its color shifts more toward an orangish yellow.

However, they can also be bright yellow and red, and there is apparently also a rare blue variety from Humboldt county.
