Yesterday whilst take a chilly mooch through an ancient woodland, we happened across some little green gems lurking in the sparse dry moss loosely covering a historic earth boundary bank, under some big old holly bushes so well shaded.
Late season Parrot #waxcaps in a rather odd location?

IS IT ME, OR DOES EVERYONE THINK LICHENS ARE WATCHING THEM😱? This image was taken on March 17, 2025, of some lichens. I took this image with my digital microscope, so the lichens are very covert concerning their alleged actions😂. #photography #nature #FungiFriends #fungi #lichens

Reminds of Caitlin Starlin's THE LUMINOUS DEAD, another slow and poetic weird/horror/SF novel where bioluminescent fungi, subterranean worms, and (maybe?) ghosts in a submerged cave on an alien planet aren't the focus, but factors that drive a relationship narrative about dissociation and trust.
The cover of Caitlin Starling's novel THE LUMINOUS DEAD. The image is an illustration of a glowing EV suit glove clawing its way up a cliffside, rendered in dark turquoise colors. "The cave will swallow them whole" is the tagline.

A fungus photo a day: The brown goblet/Arrhenia epichysium is not rare but for some reason yesterday is only the second time I’ve found it. #fungifriends #fungi #mycology #naturephotography

Very happy lichen in the rain! 🍄 🌿

Bright happy lichen on a log! Lichen is a symbiosis of an algae and a fungi.

Sometimes its nice when little flies or other insects join in on the mushroom photos, as long as they stay still during the stack! 🪰🍄

A small orange fly sits on top of an all-purple mushroom. A second identical mushroom grows to its left. Given the slope of the ground, the left mushrooms appears slightly taller than the right one. The stipe and cap of both mushrooms have the same light purple, almost pink color.

Photo taken December 27, 2025, at my field in #NorthernCalifornia of a mushroom. At first it looked like a piece of butterscotch candy on the ground, but I knew better (maybe). #photography #nature #FungiFriends #fungi #mushroom

Carnivorous fungi?

If you’re doing #Veganuary this month, or even just aiming to eat less meat, you might try plant-based alternatives. How are these made and how does chemistry improve their appearance and flavour?

This edition of #PeriodicGraphics in @cenmag.bsky.social has the answers: cen.acs.org/food/food-sc...
Infographic "The Chemistry of Plant-Based Meat" explaining how alternatives replicate meat. Sources include legumes, grains, and fungi. Structure is achieved via high-moisture extrusion to create fibrous textures. Color comes from beet and purple carrot pigments or genetically engineered heme. Flavor is developed through the Maillard reaction (sugars + amino acids). Texture uses liquid plant oils and solid tropical fats to mimic animal fat mouthfeel and consistency.

Intrigued, we have lots of toothed fungi in UK. I wonder if your referring to Phellodon group which have caps and stems?

Fungi are needed as much help as possible in conservation as they are rarely given a second thought. If the records don't exist, land management and development don't even consider them being present. If I could twist your arm to start recording, the Fungi will be grateful 😁

Good Morning! On this day, (Sunday) January 4 in 1883 Johanna Westerdijk was born. She was a Dutch plant pathologist and the first female professor in the Netherlands. She studied microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi in plant disease. #HERstory #WomeninSTEM 🧪

A thorough approach to #ARG research and documentation:

Revitalizing Rural Heritage Through an Intergenerational Alternate Reality Game: A Mixed-Methods Study in Taiwan

doi.org/10.3390/su18...

The prototype game promotes rural #heritage tourism.

Ganoderma is fungi, btw 🍄
Screenshot from the article. Text: 4.2.2. Architecture of the ARG Prototype A comprehensive ARG prototype, "The Mystery of Shiding: The Call of the Ganoderma Lucidum," demonstrates the integrated system design. The prototype features five interconnected core modules: the ARG Core Engine, Story Engine Learning Scaffolds, Interaction Modules, and Community Platform. Figure S1 in Supplementary Materials details the functions and interconnections of these modules and highlights the integration and overall svstem architecture. Supplementary Materials also provide the full listing of technical specifications and module functions. Figure S2 (in the Supplementary_Materials File S6.) presents a detailed flowchart that illustrates the game flow and player journey. Screenshot from a table in the article. Text: Table 2. Critical Limitations in ARG- Based Cultural Heritage Research Limitation Description Reference Theoretical Fragmentation Lack of integrated frameworks combining ARG, learning, and tourism theories [22,25] Sample and External Validity Issues Small, site- specific samples limit generalizability across cultures and age groups [7,8] Short-Term Evaluation Bias Focus on immediate satisfaction rather than long-term learning or behavioral change [22] Short-Term Evaluation Bias Focus on immediate satisfaction rather than long-term learning or behavioral change [22] Intergenerational Digital Divide Limited accessibility for older adults and local residents [23,25] Technical Barriers Usability issues, device complexity, and network limitations hinder engagement [20] Source: Author's conceptualization based on [7,8,20,22,23,25].

The Oxford Winter Farmer's Market, held the first Saturday of the month. The only winter farmer's market in Chenango County and the best summer market in the county by far.

I bought stew lamb, short ribs, baby tatsoi and micro greens. Obviously no veg besides the micro greens/fungi guy.
Interior space of hall housing the Oxford Winter Farmer's Market. Venor tables with meats, jams, honey, soaps, handicrafts, etc.

Venezuela has over 1,400 bird species, at least 235 species of reptile, over 150 species of amphibian, and 180+ species of mammal. This is not even touching on plant and fungi biodiversity, which is staggering.

An extractive war for oil will only exacerbate the extinction crisis we are now in.
