A very thin mushroom with a pretzel slime hiding behind it.

Shot inside a hollow tree.
#slimemold #myxomycetes #fungifriends
A long very thin stemmed white mushroom grows between some leaves inside a fallen tree. Behind it is a pretzel slime, an orangebrown network that forms the fruiting body of a slime mold.

Window
#forest #nature #photography
A fallen leaf in which a window-like hole has appeared. The pulp of the leaf has decayed and it now shows the skeleton like a stained glass window. Behind it you see the green forest.

I bring you huge shrooms, I bring you tiny shrooms.

My index fingertip next to a tiny Mycena mushroom growing out of tree bark. The mushroom is at most a few millimeters tall.

Frozen milkdrops in the forest.

Fruiting bodies of Hemitrichia clavata slime mold, early in their formation.
#slimemold #myxomycetes #fungifriends
Milky white droplet shapes on little stems growing out of rotting wood on the forest floor. These cones will become pink, then brown, then yellow and will then burst open into balls of yellow hair from which the spores are dispersed in the wind.

Frozen mushroom hiding under a leaf.

Top view of the cap of an orange to yellow mushroom with a layer of transparent frost on it. It is half obscured by a fallen beech leaf. The whole scene is in a pleasing palette of yellow, orange and brown colors.

White undersides of mushrooms on tree bark. The bottom looks ruffled like the underside of a petticoat.

I went back and these have gotten quite big.

Top-down view of hiking boots placed between two large, pancake-like pale mushrooms. The largest diameter of the mushrooms is roughly the length of my boot.

I mentioned earlier that they chew on Nile Crocodiles - I wasn't kidding, baby Hippos use them as teething rings since the texture of their scales is satisfying to gum.

Just this 12' long razor-toothed archosaur, sitting there going "stay calm, Clarence, you survived the asteroid, you can do this."

This is who it was:
A male Anna’s hummingbird at the door. So nosy! 🤣

Slime mold moves through the forest as a giant grey amoeba.
#slimemold #myxomycetes #fungifriends
A grey myxomycete plasmodium sprawled out over wet rotting wood. At the top you see the first fruiting bodies form: little yellow beans that will soon form spores.

They spotlighted this one large tree in a park in Eindhoven and it looked magical in the dark night.
#trees
A large tree with hanging branches, beautifully lit up on the dark. It stands over a still pond that reflects it.

Earlier this year I drew this magnificent Metallyticus splendidus. I'm very pleased with how it turned out. That's all.
Drawing of a very shiny praying mantis. It has chunky, shiny forearms and is mostly green and red. A close up of the drawing, showing the metallic shine on the mantis' green and blue forearm.
