I posted my favorite mushroom photo I’ve ever taken (and I’ve taken thousands!) when I first joined, but I didn’t know about #fungifriends yet, so I’m reposting it. Waxcap. #naturephotography #forestfloor

Right?? Just common sense but, here we are. I’m glad some people haven’t lost their minds.

I just got my 13th COVID shot a month ago (the new 2025/26 booster). It’s so easy and painless. Doesn’t make sense not to do this when it could cost you your life.

He’s talking about his own death a lot more lately— let alone on the return from a Walter Reed visit.

There are still a lot of people out there who want some magnetic leader to rise and lead them, and don’t realize that the longer they wait to take initiative to get involved themselves, the longer this nightmare will continue.

If you want something done, do it!

Plus the increased levels of strokes is being glossed over along w all the other long Covid effects. People don’t accept that this is a vascular disease that lives in your body after acute infection subsides. Just like chickenpox hides until you’re older & brings on shingles. It’s not “just a cold”.

⚠️ A few days ago, a lorry carrying #chickens caught fire, leaving countless birds trapped inside with no way out. 💔

There's no need to eat chickens or their #eggs. We have so many alternatives to choose from. 🐔

Tragedies like this can easily be prevented by choosing #vegan.

This made me laugh out loud. If you have never lived with someone with narcissistic personality disorder this may not feel familiar to you, but the lies these people will tell to try to put a spin on their failures so they can claim they aren’t really failures can be so deeply ridiculous.

Bonus fungus post: These western jumbo gyms/Gymnopilus ventricosus certainly were eye-catching. I love the one by itself in the gap in the roots, “You go have your party, I’m going to stay at home and read.” #fungifriends

What is startling to me is the infection numbers are still high including death/organ damage numbers, yet people aren’t getting boosters, a whole species just shrugging their shoulders. If this was a sci-fi story COVID would be intelligent and changing people‘s brains to be complacent about it.
