Funguary Day 6: Inky Cap

Within 24 hours of emerging the fruiting bodies of the inky cap go through a process called “autodigestion” where they digest their own caps, becoming the black inky liquid commonly associated with these mushrooms.

Many believe that this is to spread the spores of the mushroom, although other doubt this due to the fact mature spores are released before the mushroom’s cells begin to break down

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?

Hello!

Temporary intro post while the actual meet the artist is being draw so hello!

My name is Mycota, I like mycology, and I am an artist!

Not much else to say, I'm sure I'll be much more concise with the actual thing but either way, here this is!

Please donate braincells to the communal braincell :3

He is very hungry, you would not let him starve would you?

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.

Mushroom fact of the week!

Mushrooms scam trees!

Some fungi get their nutrients by exchanging nutrients with plants. The fungi provides phosphorous and the plant gives carbon in return.

The less phosphorous available, higher price the plant will pay for the phosphorous, giving more carbon for each unit received. However, when there is more available the fungi will receive less carbon for its troubles.

So what these fungi do, being the scammers they are, is transport phosphorous through the mycelium from areas of high abundance to areas of low abundance where it is more scarce and fetches a higher price. This way, the fungi is able to get much more carbon out of the plant.

Mushroom fact of the week!

The white spots viewed on the fly agaric are actually not a part of the cap at all!

Many fungi’s fruiting bodies form inside a small sac, which when it breaks open becomes the universal veil. It's actually pieces of this sac that stick to the cap of the fly agaric becoming the appearance of white spots! If you were to touch the cap the spots would wipe off quite easily 

no. you can't do this to me. not again.

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.
