I hate that our government websites are now using this language. It's giving highschool bully - on an official government page. I can't. It is so horrifically inappropriate I didn't believe it, checked myself, and now I'm just left feeling so... furious.

Amanita Muscaria popping up on the Oregon coast a couple weeks ago. 🍄

Mushroom pictures make things slightly better, right? RIGHT?!

Mushrooms sprout in a damp pasture along the #UmpquaRiver in SW #Oregon as fall colors brighten the landscape. Seasonal rains have brought a spurt of new fungi growth across the region #macrophotography #nature #mushrooms #photography

It's Amanita season! These beautiful mushrooms are popping up where we live, and I'm so ready for it

A tall mushroom grows against a wall of dark brown soil and bright green moss. Its stipe is white and has a chunk missing from it, likely due to being eaten by a slug. A skirt of white mushroom flesh hangs against the stipe right underneath the cap. The cap is a gorgeous blend of yellow at the edge of the cap, to orange, and then red at the top of the cap.

If you ever feel like your sketchbook as an artist is not looking pretty or artistic enough: take a look at Gustav Klimt‘s sketchbook
