I posted my favorite mushroom photo I’ve ever taken (and I’ve taken thousands!) when I first joined, but I didn’t know about #fungifriends yet, so I’m reposting it. Waxcap. #naturephotography #forestfloor

If you need three peaceful minutes, this was our hiking break by a lake today. Sound up for a very vocal frog, some birds, a fly or two, and Beckett having a scratch.

The term narcissistic personality disorder was coined by Heinz Kohut, an Austrian-born American psychoanalyst, in 1968, but it’s been around as long as mankind has existed. Yet people still do not recognize and understand NPD and its consequences.

And now we have our own Emperor Nero.

“Guttation is the expression of metabolic byproducts from mushroom metabolism that can be seen oozing out of the fruiting body.”

Bari Weiss always fails up. Always. CBS news is a joke. This is an article from an internet shitposter on CBS News and yes they spelled Zohran Mamdani's name wrong.

@NewsJennifer (Jennifer Schulze) @newsjennifer.bsky.social · 18h

CBS News would never put a thinly sourced 'story' by a rookie blogger like this on it's air. Until now. The Free Press isn't a journalism outlet, it's bloggers aren't reporters. This piece is more NYPost than Tiffany Network but I guess that's the goal.

2/4 The spots on amanitas are remnants of the volva that surrounds them when they come out of the ground. The pieces will either cling or fall off, so some have very few like the baby one above and some will have lots. The cap opening or rain etc may remove more.

#Washington Governor Bob Ferguson responds to a letter he received from AG Pam Bondi in which she threatened to place him in jail.

Fuck Pam Bondi! The loss of her law license and her subsequent removal to federal prison CANNOT come quickly enough!

I don’t understand why we need a “Columbus Day” when this country celebrates incompetent white men failing up and taking what isn’t theirs all year round.

I just got my 13th COVID shot a month ago (the new 2025/26 booster). It’s so easy and painless. Doesn’t make sense not to do this when it could cost you your life.

There are still a lot of people out there who want some magnetic leader to rise and lead them, and don’t realize that the longer they wait to take initiative to get involved themselves, the longer this nightmare will continue.

If you want something done, do it!
