Today’s fungus is not a traditional, mushroom-looking one, but I think it’s interesting nonetheless. This is Rhopographus filicinus, a leopard-spots like fungus that grows on ferns 🌿 #fungifriends

Towards thee I roll, thou all-destroying but unconquering whale; to the last I grapple with thee

Me, stuck in a traffic jam while going to the woods: “oh boy I hope all these people aren’t going to the woods”
