One of my favourite #planetaryScience conferences, which I only discovered in 2023, is the Gordon Conference on "Origins of Solar Systems." It brings together observers, theorists, cosmochemists, planetologists, and astronomers. The next one is in 2025! 🧪

Waxcap photo day #3, there are 150 species of hygrocybe/waxcaps worldwide. Only found this kind in one spot, two years in a row. When I post these you’ll know they’re from this group, they are so unique, not sure of the specific ID. #fungifriends #fungi #forestfloor #mycology #naturephorography

Calling #fungifriends for day 4 of #bluenature, the blue pinkgill!

The skyblue mushroom (Entoloma hochstetteri) is the first of the series so far to be blue due to pigmentation by azulene. It’s also the only mushroom to be featured on money - New Zealand’s $50 note!

Thinking about these tiny, dewy waxcaps that I found while wandering through the redwoods in Marin, California. My first #naturephotography offering to #fungifriends!

As in many things, I think Terry Pratchett had a cutting insight about monarchies and the way we can't quit them.
