I find the Fall Coral (looks like Ramaria Sp) to be a challenge to ID.

If it stains brown it could be a Ramaria velocimutans? IDK

Glad to hear you got it fixed before it got super cold here.

Later, while walking along the beach, we found a cluster of Oyster mushrooms growing on some driftwood.

There were a number of Yellowfoot mushroom nearby.

Until recently, I didn’t realize these were related to Chanterelles and are sometimes called Winter Chanterelles. 🍄‍🟫

Most hedgehog mushrooms we find are nowhere near this large.

Over a year ago I started a sleep project for a series of paintings. One of the slightly unrelated metrics I was tracking was heart rate variability (hrv).

It became clear that alcohol consistently tanked my hrv.

…still wish there was something to break down acetaldehyde.

You could turn on honeybee mode and see all the UV landing strips on the flowers around you…

So luscious! The living hair just puts it over the top

Thank you 😊

This looks wonderful! Wish I lived a little closer.

Sure looks like it!

I’ve played around with putting these in as neurotransmitter constellations low of the horizon in another print. But how else do you draw the absence of something?

I find that detail *what’s missing* while your brain is wildly hallucinating every night to be fascinating.

BTW, there are two neurotransmitters that are notably lower during vivid dreaming (R.E.M. sleep), one is serotonin and the other is norepinephrine.

Dreaming is thought to be a time where you may process experiences without triggering a stress response.

A subtle detail in this dream map is the notation of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine that rises during R.E.M. sleep (the sleep stage associated with vivid dreaming) as a constellation amongst the stars.✨
