Hauntingly beautiful.

My extended family used to gather and release a white balloon together to say goodbye to one of us that passed.

Reminds me of them all flying away, each chasing a different memory blown apart by the wind. 🌿

A group of young, pale yellow slime mold fruiting bodies. They seem eager and driven with a positive outlook overall.

Ear hair can be an awkward subject, but at a certain point it needs to be addressed. 🌿

Fashion & function

Cannonball fungi 🌿

🍄📷
Closeup of a few individual pale yellow cannonball fungi. Two have fired and are displaying their nests, which kind of resemble toy tulips. Three others are loaded and taking aim with what looks like translucent eggs. There’s also a cluster of them at the top of the frame.

“….did I miss the party?” 🌿

🍄📷
A tiny circular growth of pink slime mold on a glistening wet log. There are droplets of dew that align to create a cute face that looks like Elmo’s cousin.

It was just a nibble.

Not sure anyone will notice. 🌿

A pinkish amanita stands with a tunnel eaten directly through the stipe. The cap also has a sizable hole from some sort of consumption.

I’m getting out worked in my own yard.

This little bee was dedicated. It spent about 10 minutes on that sunflower.

Jackpot, for both of us. 🌱

A slime infestation is my kind of idea of a good time. 🌿

A colony of the slime mold Trichia varia being infested with the fungi Polycephalomyces tomentosus. The round, brown sporangia of the Trichia is overrun with a white, fuzzy appearance & tiny white fruiting bodies.

The forest was quite rewarding today after some time away.

Lots of good stuff out there, but there was one clear standout. 🌿

🍄📷
A shot showing growths of slime mold surrounded by moss. I believe this is stemonitopsis typhina with those silvery stalks. A side angle of the same growths of slime mold surrounded by moss. I believe this is stemonitopsis typhina with those silvery stalks.

My kids love imagining these shrubby lichen are little baby trolls hiding in the branches. 🌿

Extremely jealous of these elaborate sunburst lichen celebrations. 🌿

🍄📷
A large cluster of sunburst lichen is exploding out of a branch, with a few more small clusters developing in the perimeter. This cluster of golden orange sunburst lichen reminds me of a full band in full swing, with the horns popping out overhead.
