let's make sure the habitats of endangered plants and animals are protected for generations to come

Public comments against the rescinding of the endangered species act can be submitted here: https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2025/04/17/2025-06746/rescinding-the-definition-of-harm-under-the-endangered-species-act

Not so fun fact: the endangered species act **doesn't include fungi** because they thought fungi were plants back in 1973. The Philly Mycology club as land stewardship advocates are looking to change that, working on auditing 200 year old specimens with the herbarium at the Academy of Natural Sciences to see which fungi still exist, collaboration with the state conservation mycologist, and collecting specimens for sequencing with a research permit from the DCNR. The Fungal Diversity Survey is also a great initiative being awareness to rare fungi who need their habitats protected!

Found some Lycogala epidendrum or "wolf's milk". The tinyest slime mould.

A broad old tree trunk has lost its bark. The bare wood is deeply stained with moss, and several pale mushrooms with thin stalks are sprouting out from the surface into the sunshine.

A very decayed old section of a fallen tree has much of its outer surface stained dark green by moss. Dozens of small pale mushrooms sprout up all over it like wildflowers.

Yesterday, I helped co-lead my first mushroom walk hosted by the Discovery Center in Philadelphia. It was cold and rainy, but we still had a decent turn out of 20-ish people? I haven't worked much with my co- before, but I'm thankful that it went well, and the host organizer was very easy to work with too. We walked along a path that I had had a chance to scope out a month earlier, which was really helpful as someone not as confident about leading trails. The practice run with her made me realize I might know more than I expected- at least enough for the purposes of the event. It was hard to find specimens in the cold, but not impossible, including wood ears and oysters. I think people who attended had a good time and got to come away with some good fungi fun facts like how it's safe to touch mushrooms or how to use iNaturalist. I'm really thankful for this opportunity.

i'm on the right with a green beanie and a mask holding a mushroom to describe the morphology to the attendees around me.

Grow my little Hypsizygus tessulatus and Pleurotus ostreatus GRROWW! <3
#mushroom #MushroomMonday #fungiverse

A chunk of mushroom with fluffy mycelium growing out from it in a jar with left over tea leaves, grain, wood chips and Charcoal Chunks.
This one is Pleurotus ostreatus also called Buna-shimeji or Brown Beech Mushroom.

Ok, there was a mushroom, but it's covered in moss, so it's ok.

(6/13)

a white, rocky looking fungi being taken over by a green moss, both where on a fallen tree.

more close-up of this same green moss. maybe I should at-least learn some families. moss doesn't seem to cut it as a description.

a bit of bark, in a field of green moss.

It's been a while since I posted some mushrooms, so I'll dig a bit in my archives. Here, Shrek's ears!

xylaria hypoxylon
geweihförmige holzkeule

nahaufnahme, makro. aus einer spalte in hell holzbrauner, aber grünlich mit flechten bewachsener rinde sprießen 4 fruchtkörper eines holzpilzes. die sind sehr dünn, gerade mal 1 mm dick, schlauchförmig und verzweigen sich kurz vor der spitze geweihartig in mehrere enden. am ansatz, ganz bei der rinde, sind sie schwarz, den rest leuchtend weiß, sie sehen dadurch etwas wie abgebrannte streichhölzer aus. das passt auch von der größe her, naja, knapp.

@loren found this cool stick

A stick with grayish/black cup lichen (it might be Physcia aipolia, Hoary rosette lichen) growing on it.

The other side of the stick with patches of an orangish fungi growing. It resembles coral or the folds of a brain.

It's a Small World

You can used extension tubes with a normal lens for macro photography, but if you already have a macro lens and use it with a couple of extension tubes then you get some larger than life shots. The largest of these cups is probably less than 3 millimetres diameter and the shot is not cropped. Focus stacking becomes essential as the depth of field of each layer is a fraction of a millimetre.

I walked by this log two mornings in a row, on the second there were mushrooms that weren’t there on the first.

“And in the morning, without my hearing it, there might be a mushroom that was not there the night before, creamy white, pushed up from the pine needle duff, out of darkness to light, still glistening with the fluid of its passage. Puhpowee.”
