Funguary Day 3: Spotted Cort

Funguary Day 6: Inky Cap

Within 24 hours of emerging the fruiting bodies of the inky cap go through a process called “autodigestion” where they digest their own caps, becoming the black inky liquid commonly associated with these mushrooms.

Many believe that this is to spread the spores of the mushroom, although other doubt this due to the fact mature spores are released before the mushroom’s cells begin to break down

But no need to worry, we all exist. We must remember the value of time, but we must not get stuck in the paradox of existentialism

After a long period of contemplation I have concluded this anons perspective on time itself gives to them being Armillaria ostoyae, as it is known to have live for thousands of years, giving it ample opportunity to observe the paradox of time

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

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

have you drank enough water today ?:3

Whats water?

Witches Cap Fungi

Mushroom of the Week No. 1

The witches cap mushroom, or Hygrocybe conica, starts off a vivid red-orange with patches of yellow. As it ages it slowly turns black naturally, or bruises black due to injury. This is actually one of the most helpful factors in identification, though the fungi itself is not sought after for its edibility. It cannot be cultivated in labs presently, suggesting that it requires something special from its environment, possibly a mycorrhizal relationship. For this it needs to be investigated further.
