Funguary Day 11: Devils cigar

While emerging from the ground this mushroom looks like a cigar, giving it its name. When there is a sudden change in humidity (for example a rainstorm) this mushroom suddenly opens up, releasing its spores in a puff of “smoke”. Due to the pressure the spores release almost explosively, creating an audible hiss.  

It is also extremely rare, only being found in Texas and Japan

A team that (almost) rivals Ivory and Ranboo

“vote scar!!” “No vote zam!!” Yap yap yap YAPPPPP NO I SAY WE VOTE BOTH. Put them on the same percentage, I want to see them both on a team

i fear they would be unstoppable

Hello!

Temporary intro post while the actual meet the artist is being draw so hello!

My name is Mycota, I like mycology, and I am an artist!

Not much else to say, I'm sure I'll be much more concise with the actual thing but either way, here this is!

Funguary Day 7: Wrinkled Peach Mushroom

When young this mushroom has a soft pink color and deep net patterns. The color and patterning both fade with age.

This particular wrinkled peach is “weeping”, also known as guttation, a process in which the mushroom secretes excess moisture. 

The wrinkled peach is also the only species in its genus, meaning taxonomists had such a difficult time fitting it into any other category that they had to make a whole new genus just for the wrinkled peach.

Beware the ides of march!

Let's talk about possible uses for the dried ghast!

-Lampshade

-Lawn gnome

-Toaster

-Plushie to sit on my shelf

-Rock for landscaping

-Put him in trees as a weird alien fruit

-Back to toaster, you see the resemblance right?

-Stepping stones in pond

-Outlet/plug

(your honor this is a joke)

coughcoughprobablycough

I have cried about him no less than 3 times today

Did the soulsand dry him out??? Did his mommy abandon him??? Are those his mom’s bones and he got dried out waiting for her??? Do ghasts shrink if they cry too much? Why do ghasts eat snowballs if they’re from a no-water environment? Are ghasts from the overworld originally and that’s why there’s fossils there too?

Also the implication of people using the dried ghasts as building blocks? NO! YOU PUT THAT POOR BABY IN WATER RN I SWEAR

Funguary Day 25: Trumpet of Death

“Trumpet of death” is actually a misleading name, as these mushrooms are highly sought after for being edible. They are also known as “horn of plenty” and can be found in autumn. They do, however, have several poisonous lookalikes.

Funguary Day 13: Fly Agaric

The Fly Agaric is quite possibly the most iconic mushroom there is. It was traditionally used as an insecticide. The cap was broken into pieces and sprinkled into saucers of milk. It contains ibotenic acid which both attracts and kills flies, thus, giving it its name.

Mushroom fact of the week!

Enoki mushrooms actually only look like how most people think of them when grown in total darkness. They look quite normal otherwise!
