Same person as @joqatana, hopefully without the angst. Art, dogs, mushrooms, stuff She/They/Dude. BoomXr. Autistic, AuDHD, PTSD. Word salad. Often rhetorical. Always cynical. Pedantic as the day I was born. Will always say when I want advice.

#TinyTuesday?
📷🍄 #fungifriends

3 tiny white mushrooms. Possibly Bark Bonnets. Some kind of bonnrt. Or possibly Oak Leaf Pinewheels. I can’t tell if they’re growing from the leaf or from the wood.

Zoom out of previous photo with pen tip for scale. In this one I can tell they’re growing from the wood.
Pen point is .38mm.

Two tiny orange colored Mycena in the duff.

Same mushrooms with the pen point for scale

Oh wow. I’ve found muscaria, phalloides, western yellow veiled and western panthers in the past 3 weeks and the season is just starting?

Thank you for doing my IDs on iNat. And for hearting my photos just now!
I’ve been finding lots of species of amanita in Tennessee Valley but not gonna eat them.

JustJo @qatanarama.bsky.social · Feb 11

Thank you! I love these and the tiny creps that grow inside out under logs.

JustJo @qatanarama.bsky.social · Feb 10

Zoom-out of some of my favorite tiny mushrooms. Same shot starting close & moving away. Genus Resupinatus probably #MushroomMonday #fungifriends #sporepunk 📷🍄

4 shots of the same view of a cluster of tiny upside down gray mushrooms on the bottom of a log. They’re amorphous and the gills are mazelike. Pictures go from closup to panned out. Photo 3 has a pen tip for scale. The whole cluster is about an inch long.

If I ever get out of bed I’m going slime mold hunting.
This is Arcyria I found behind the bus stop on Wednesday.
📷🍄 #SlimeMoldSunday #sporepunk #fungifriends #mycology

Four photos of tiny red fuzzy slime mold, genus Arcyria. May or may not be Carnival Candy slime mold. In the fourth picture is a tiny glass snail and the side of my fingertip for scale.

Same red fuzzy blobs from a different angle

Fuzzy red blobs and a teeny Glass Snail next to my fingernail which looks enormous

And I found more in my two months in Eugene than here, though I’m told it has to do with a certain amount of rainfall.
This year has been good for witches hats and what seem to be scarlet waxcaps. Have yet to see a parrot mushroom around here. Too much green stuff growing…

JustJo @qatanarama.bsky.social · Feb 9

Not turkeytails. Stereum. More ripply…📷🍄 #sporepunk #fungfriends #mushrooms

Large stereum cluster. Also has concentric bands of color and is ripply.

“Curly” fan shaped stereum mostly reds & orange

Back side of stereum is smooth; stereum is a crust fungus with neithee gills or pores. I don’t have the science to explain how it spores.

Stereum colony being consumed by a golden ear fungus, which is also a look-alike for Witches Butter jelly fungus

Pretty sure that is leocarpus. Ironically, I found my best sample on the side of the road in Eugene on a piece of fir. And we’re having a terrible winter for slimes in NorCal. Getting lots of hygrocybes, tho!

If these are what I think they are they glow in the dark, too.

It’s #HotStickSaturday. Likin the #lichen 📷🍄

Lichen and moss covered stick where I found it behind the bus stop at the Park-N-Ride

Orange and green circular fruiting bodies of Sunburst Lichen, crossed by gray/green strands of leafy lichen

Several species of lichen together. Some have green and orange spots, some have gray on gray spots, some are gold and scaly.

tuberculosis outbreaks in Kansas, North Carolina & Ohio.

CDC aren’t permitted to update the public & people are not being advised of the risk or told to mask.

There’s evidence that COVID causes immune system damage which could lead TB to reactivate.

A respirator prevents both Covid & TB. Mask up!

North Carolina tuberculosis cases are on the rise for the first time in decades

Cases of the world’s deadliest infectious disease have been increasing in the U.S. in recent years

For #LichenFriday we have the California State Lichen. It’s really hard to photograph #LaceLichen #LazyLichen #fungifriends #sporepunk #lichen

Small “rope” of lace lichen, looks like gray/green tangled hair

A larger fall of lace lichen. Greenish grayish dangling masses hanging from the trees. Often mistaken for “Spanish moss”

Speaking of red mushrooms. #fungifriends #FungusFriday #sporepunk 📷🍄

A cluster of bright red hygrocybe waxcaps. Possibly Scarlet Waxcaps or one of many other species in this genus.

I thought I hit the jackpot a couple times today but this is a first! I didn’t even know they grew in North America! Scarlet Elf Cups. So. Cool. 📷🍄 #fungifriends #FungusFriday #sporepunk

4 photos of a bright red cup-shaped fungus about as big as my little fingertip. It literally looks like it’s singing
