A hat-thrower fungus growing on rabbit dung is the wildest sentence I've typed today 🍄😭 Fungi are out here doing things we have no framework to explain.

Color photo. Trunk of a tree with bark peeled away (part of a natural process). The trunk fills the image area. Bits of gray bark edged with reddish color remain but are dotted irregularly on the flesh of the tree, which is exposed and is camel brown.
The exfoliated bark of the Chinese elm (or lacebark) suggests images, much like clouds in the sky. I see a paw print and a bald man leaning out a second-story window to yell at someone below. What do you see?

🍄 Devil’s Urn Tuesday
Came across these dark cup-looking mushrooms on an old log, and they even look mysterious. The forest really has its dramatic moments.

Models of locust swarms suggest they may be driven by cannibalism. Those at the front flee those behind them, while stragglers desperately try to keep up – getting isolated is the quickest way to get eaten!

Pocket sharks are small enough to fit in a pouch, but they’re named for the organic pockets on their bodies… meanwhile, the giant freshwater stingray can be the size of a medium dingy and is the largest freshwater fish that's ever been caught!

Did you know that the ancient whale (Leviathan melvillei) was probably as dangerous as a megalodon - but its tiniest modern relatives rely on spraying "ink" like a squid?

Dolomedes scriptus, the striped fishing spider, a giant as far as New England arachnids go. They walk on water! They dive underwater! They eat fish! Yes! Great, ok. Moving on. ⬇️

A deep maroon striped flower with three "petals" (they're actually sepals) and large green lily leaves with purple splotches.
Going through some old stuff and stumbled upon this gem: California Fetid Adderstongue, Scoliopus bigelovii, a curious species of lily endemic to only a few locations on the west coast. #plantsky #weirdnature #bloomscrolling

Always find the weird places—twisted trees, hidden rocks, and little corners of nature that feel like another world. That’s half the fun of exploring. 🌿

A New Zealand snail named Ned has a rare left-coiled shell - only 1 in 40,000 snails are like him. But it means he can’t mate with normal snails, leaving him loveless unless another “lefty” is found.

There’s a bird called the lyrebird that can perfectly mimic the sound of a baby crying. I’ll go ahead and add it to my list of things that make me yell “nope” before running.

A cluster of ghost pipe flowers growing out of the leaf litter. Single bell-shaped white blossoms on each upright stem look somewhat like blueberry blossoms with a circle of yellow teeth in the middle. Light pink stem. Black highlights make the plant look like it's going through a punk rocker goth phase.
Two flowering ghost pipes growing together with blossoms facing in opposite directions.
A cluster of flowering ghost pipes pushing the leaf litter up from the ground as they emerge.
A stout ghost pipe blossom.
This thread is nothing but photos of ghost pipe, Monotropa uniflora. A parasitic plant that's common enough up here, but it's become properly endangered in most of its range due to people poaching it for "alternative medicine". #monotropa #weirdnature #parasites #naturesky #bloomscrolling

Pale yellow pinesap. Multiple blossoms dangle from its raceme. In the background is another pinesap that's a little further along with mostly spent flowers.
Pinesap with a darker pink coloring. It's past its flowering stage and is in the fruiting stage. People often misidentify pinesap at this stage as Hypopitys lanuginosa due to the red stems, but pinesap turns increasingly red as it ages.
Dried pinesap is fully brown in color. The fruit has fully ripened and it's gone to seed.
Pinesap in fruiting stage.
A pile of pinesap photos, Monotropa hypopitys, a parasitic plant that doesn't typically crop up until a forest has lasted at least 90 years without a major disturbance.
