New, unknown fungi in a garden bed. What species do you guess or know? (3 photos of yellow, bumpy fungi by green plants & bark. Some small ones look like finger tips, medium ones are more cone shaped mushrooms, the largest have wide caps and faded color. All look fuzzy with small protrusions.)

🌱 My first Bennings Green squash of the year. NorCal is having a cool summer over all, so things are happening slowly out here. A small head of garlic for scale. The light green, fluted, flattened, round squash is about 12 inches/30.48 cm across.

🌱Desert beans update: they get a but of water every 10-14 days. This variety won't bloom and produce if over watered. There are blooms and some baby pods sets!

Yes they do! I have multiple pairs and recently ordered more.
I always tell people that my compression gloves not only look better but they work better than other brands. I believe things can have better functionality while allowing us to express ourselves!
@bibicosplays.bsky.social
These are the best compression gloves I've ever owned. To make them even better, they come in colorful prints! I bought two more pairs today, for a total of four, so I'll always have a pair close at hand.

This #LongCovid stuff is intense. Shower and sitting up for lunch results in needing a nap. Pacing the best I can. And my body has other opinions.

I know that sometimes working on a "micro" level and just helping individual people figure out stuff like what shower chair to get can seem like you're "not doing much"
But I figure, eugenicists want disabled people to die
