Here we are again. Except there is even more to protest this time. This is our second year and third state. Protests starting in Reno Nevada.

Let's hear it for the weird mushrooms. Here is one I don't think I've seen before, an unknown grey Phelladon, with its tiny teeth to spread spores, no gills or pores. For your #MushroomMonday #fungifriends #mushrooms

Some mushrooms are very bright, but not on their caps, only on their stems (or stipes to be technical). Some Cortinarius for your #FungiFriday #fungifriends #mushrooms

Fingers busting from the ground, reach for the sky, to spread their spores. A Ramaria for your #MushroomMonday #fungifriends #mushrooms

Multiple mushrooms growing out of decayed wood, with red caps, gills, and stipes. The background is black.

It's #FungusFriday and our Observation of the Day is this group of Ruby Bonnet mushrooms (Cruentomycena viscidocruenta), seen in Australia by liznoble!

More details at: www.inaturalist.org/observations...

Much paler than the deep red mushrooms I’ve seen of this type, but these beauties are large with open caps of around 8 inches across.

Happy #FungiFriday!

A skull surrounded by death cap mushrooms. These are the most poisonous mushrooms in the world. This was a display at the San Francisco mycological society fungus fair. For your #FungusFriday #fungifriends #mushrooms

This is the second time I have photographed one of my favorite Mycena species - this one is found on leaves and has regular water droplets along the stem for a reason which remains a mystery to me.

From the Chocó Andino region of Ecuador.

Rather dry on the coast, but some fungi were found. Here is Lycoperdon perlatum for your #MushroomMonday #fungifriends #mushrooms

Caps that are smooth and white as silk, these are Inocybe, which means silk heads. It has been a very good year so far for Inocybe of all kinds, go find them! For your #FungiFriday #fungifriends #mushrooms

A very blue Cortinarius found under live oak trees. About a dozen in this grouping, some larger than my hand. Even with so many, so large, many are still unknown species. For your #MushroomMonday #fungifriends #mushrooms

Small and hidden in moss, also tough and leathery. These guys have tiny spines to drop their spores. Phelladon for your #MushroomMonday #fungifriends #mushrooms

Hey - here is one from Jackson Demo Forest. So far it is a good year. See you next month.

Bursting from holes in a rotting log, fungi reach thin fingers for the sky, spreading spores. Ramaria tsugina with its green tips for your #FungiFriday #fungifriends #mushrooms

Some mushrooms don't need caps, but have branches. Dendrocollybia racemosa for your #MushroomMonday #fungifriends #mushrooms

Some are smooth, some are shaggy. Shaggy all over on Pholiota terrestris for your #FungiFriday #fungifriends #mushrooms

Sometimes a mushroom can be very simple, no cap, no gills, no color. Clavaria fragilis for your #MushroomMonday #fungifriends #mushrooms

Some Lactarius xanthogalactus seen today under redwood and tan oak. The gills bleed white milk, that quickly turns yellow. Which you can see if you look close. #FungiFriday #fungifriends #mushrooms

Don't forget tea! I bought tea from Japan, and the tariff was 50% of the cost.

I often buy tea from Japan and Taiwan. I bought $50 in tea with $8 shipping. A few days later I got a message from DHL, they need Duty/VAT of $25. 50% of costs for duty, and I am paying that. 50% inflation for me over this year for arbitrary taxes. #tariffs #inflation

Some mushrooms come with gold dust. Hygrophorus chrysodon for your #FungiFriday #mushrooms #fungifriends

Slug in coastal California munching on a Suillus mushroom. A bit of nature for your #mushroommonday #fungifriends #mushrooms

I have no idea what to do anymore. So here is a photo of a butterfly. Taken at 12k feet in Colorado, where it was hard to breathe.

Been listening for a while. This run on Frankenstein here has gotten me and my wife going. We are both reading along and then listening to the podcast, and discussing. I don't think she agreed on the point that the book is not really science fiction. She sees it as completely science fiction.

Yay!! Been waiting. What chapters does this episode cover?

I didn't have anything of meaning to say here, but this might be the best insect photo I have taken so far. Just thought I would post.
