Amethyst laccaria 💜🦎
A tiny amethyst deceiver mushroom with a purple droopy cap and irregular edge has its long fibrous purple stem wrapped around its base. It’s growing on a mossy hill in the forest. Its profile looks like a lizard pokémon with a long tail.

🌿🪴 🐾
Closeup of a mini garden I build with Lego pieces using tiny round green plates, plants and brown tree stumps on mossy hills. The focus is on a brown bicolor ragdoll cat minifigure crouched and ready to pounce. It has blue eyes and is looking kind of sad or constipated.

Needed a simple compact MP3 player and remembered I still have this Samsung YP-U2. Plug-in USB to charge, almost 20 years old and still works! Love the little loading screen :D
The Samsung YP-U2 digital audio player, a compact white UBD drive with a 1" 128x64 negative (white font, black background) LCD screen saying “SYSTEM-LOADING 40%” and a progress bar of 5 squares with 2 filled in. Plugged-in earbud headphones are light wood with burgundy ear tips and a paradord cable.

Some spooky weirdos 🍂👻
A cluster of brownish bonnet mushrooms with yellow-brown stems grows inside a big hole of a huge decaying log. Their conical caps are covered in bonnet pin mold (Spinellus fusiger), long, branching, filamentous structures that bear a sporangium. A cluster of old, decaying sulphur tuft mushrooms are growing inside the hollow of a gnarly rotting tree. They have dark orange, dried convex caps and fibrous, pale orange stems. Closeup of a slate grey saddle fungus (Helvella lacunosa) with an irregularly shaped, wrinkled, waxy grey cap and a fluted pale grey stem growing among autumn leaves.

The ACNH update is coming at the right time, was just thinking about starting it up again. Being able to create slumber islands fits my play style more since I don’t want to terraform my own island much. And I love Kapp’n, decorating and anything Splatoon, so those additions are very welcome :)
Screenshot of one the rooms in my Animal Crossing: New Horizons house. It’s a very relaxing nature-themed space with warm brown wooden floor and furniture, soft lighting, plants, and a wall full of natural gyroids on shelves. My player character, wearing a cream acorn knit cap and round brown glasses, is sitting on a wooden plank that’s crossing a small indoor garden pond with white lotus flower.

Spooky shrooms 🍁👻🎃
A collage of four spooky, moody mushroom photos. 1: A mushroom (possibly hare’s foot inkcap) with a conical dark grey cap covered in whitish fibrous speckles and a slanted white stalk. 2: A mushroom with a wet orange cap and tiny knob and pale orange stem grows from dark rotting wood. 3: Five elongated upright, club-shaped, black fungi (dead man’s fingers) arise out of a dark rotting log. 4: A cluster of candlesnuff fungi, erect and elongated black branches with a grayish middle and twisted whitened tips.

Cutie puff 🍂
A tiny gem-studded puffball mushroom leans above warm brown leaves on a forest floor. It has a spherical cream-colored top covered in short spiny brownish bumps tapering to a bulbous whitish stalk.

A cozy bunch 🍂🍁
A cluster of light brown mushrooms grows in front of a mossy tree among fallen orange and brown leaves in a forest. They have wet, flat, droopy caps and some show a ring (remnant of a veil) high up on the stalk.

𖥧𖤣 lichen forest 𖤣𖥧
Focus shot of a cluster of common powderhorn lichen growing on the side of a stump. This fruticose lichen has elongated, narrow, slightly curved, pointy grey-green stalks (podetia) arising from patches of small, overlapping, crinkly green scales (squamules) at the base.

..over by mossy lane 🌱
Low macro shot of an opening in a fence with moss growing on the ends of two wooden beams on top of a steel grey frame covered in raindrops. It looks like a pathway with walls of moss.

Touching some moss 🌿
A patch of foliose lichen is starting to grow over top of some pillowy moss on a decaying wooden beam. The lichen has a crusty bluish-grey center branching out into pale yellowish green leafy lobes with moss sporophytes coming through.

This bright red shelf fungus caught my eye from a distance, I thought it was a leaf at first 🍁
A single, big shelf fungus with a glowing, bright red, wavy top grows from the base of a tree hovering slightly above the forest ground covered in pine needles. Top view of the same polypore mushroom with a bright red top and splotches of dark red and yellow dusting coming from the center.

These flowers are kind of wacky
A flower of a harlequin glorybower has opened up its five, shiny, bright magenta tepals and is bearing a glossy blue berry. Blurred in the background is a cluster of the same flowers and green leaves.

🌱 pixie cup cutie 🌱
Macro shot of a single, tiny, young pixie cup growing among moss. It’s a cladonia lichen with a narrow pale green stalk, that’s covered in granules, and gradually flaring into a goblet-shaped cup with a red rim on the inside.

𖥧𖤣 pixie cup buds 𖤣𖥧
Macro shot of a few yellow-green pixie cups, a cladonia lichen with narrow stalks gradually flaring into goblet-shaped cups which are covered in granules. In front are even tinier, younger pixie cups with bright red rims. They’re growing from a base of curly leafy green lobes on the side of a decaying wooden beam.

Curvy bolete 🍂
A type of bolete mushroom with a flattened, shiny, yellow orange cap and a porous underside grows among leaf duff and acorns on a forest floor. Its thick bulbous stalk is yellow above the ring area with streaks of orange below.

A frog’s view 🌿
Low-angle shot looking up at a mushroom with a pale brown, convex cap highlighting its prominent, cream-colored gills and a tall, curved stipe growing from the mossy base of a tree. Blurred in the background is a big tree trunk and some bokeh forest.

Aw it’s cute, thanks for sharing! I found a big one last year, but it wasn’t as fuzzy :)
A very large type of scruffy puffball mushroom grows on a field of grass. It’s kind of egg-shaped, is covered in pointed warts and has a light beige color. Blurred trees in the far background.

I found nature’s tribble ♡
The cutest, fluffiest ball of bright green moss is leaning against a thick, vertical branch on a forest floor covered in brown leaf duff. Captain Kirk from Star Trek TOS in a pile of brown tribbles. They are a small, furry, gentle, cute and slow-moving, but rapidly reproducing, lovable alien species. Kirk is looking exasperated at a tribble in his hand.

𖥧𖤣 tiny habitat 𖤣𖥧
Macro shot focusing on a cluster of tiny, leafy, mint-colored lichen lobes cascading down a crevice of a gnarly, decaying stump. It looks like a miniature world with vines clinging to a tall old brown wall. More blurred green lichen on top of the stump wall and in the background.

Thank you, there was a cute row of them close by, nicely sheltered as if inside a cave :)
Close shot of a row of mushrooms with light tan to light brown caps and brown stems growing on decayed wood. The light is dim and soft.

A cozy scene 🌿
Focus shot of a small, cozy mushroom duo with light brown conical caps and brown tapered stems growing on moss-covered decaying wood. Blurred in the background is a similar taller mushroom and more moss climbing up darkened bark.

A classic 🍄
The classic Amanita muscaria, a mushroom with a bright red hemispherical cap and a thick white stipe, is growing through a bed of pine needles and moss on a forest floor. There’s only one tiny white wart left on top of the cap and a few around the bottom border (remnants of the universal veil).
