Saw this lovely rack of bracket fungi on a tree stump (beech?). I suspect it is Ganoderma australe (or maybe G. applanatum), or artists conk. Apparently you can draw on the underside, scraping the white gills to reveal cocoa coloured spores

THANK YOU to everyone who has made our first Kickstarter in a decade, a success (in less than a day)! @chrislackey.bsky.social will now have a proper mic (and even his own chair – the stuff dreams are made of).

The KS remains open, anything more goes into a dedicated show fund (biscuits ahoy? 🧐)

"Such fun magic!"

Bodleian Libraries @bodleian.ox.ac.uk · 23d

Our medieval curator Alison Ray introduces Rawlinson Bodleian Library MS. Rawl. D. 252...a 15th Century necromancer's journal.

This manuscript contains spells written in Latin and Middle English, and would have served as a reference for a professional sorcerer.

Dude. Aardman is AWESOME! I think I've seen all their movies at least a few times each. The artistry and writing are top-notch. I get that OpenAI wants to show off its 'thing,' but... come on! Does the world need this?

I guess most folks just don't care.

This is madness! I don't understand it at all. Like, I get the idea of doing things on the cheap and then trying to turn a profit, but 30mil?! Shawn the Sheep: The Movie had a budget of 25 million. Like, what?!
