Imagine coming across this vibrant specimen on a rainy day. #fungifriday Laetiporus cincinnatus #fungifriends #fungi #mushrooms

Wait. Are there other examples of animals who only eat certain foods at certain times of day, despite that food being equally available throughout the 24 hour cycle?

I think people are extremely on edge, and horrified by how quickly society has slipped into this banal techno-fascism, and scared about how far it will go, and that makes people brittle and impatient, and if I were a better person I would extend grace to people because of that, but, you know, I’m me

Picture of a general strike every day until you get it. Oakland CA 1946

For three years, the American Alina Van Ryzin photographed the daily life at her women’s college and the close ties forged between her classmates at Bryn Mawr, near Philadelphia.

I think this #bolete is Xanthoconium stramineum. Any other ideas on it? I don't have a cross-section picture, but there was no staining. Found in VT, USA in early August, growing around oaks.🍄 #mushroomidentification #fungifriends #mushroomsky #mushroomforaging #mycophile #mycology #mushroomist

What's the role or significance of nature in your life? I've always felt drawn to woods and forests. I used to be claustrophobic. Cities and buildings made me feel trapped. Today, I still hate concrete and highway sprawl. Those are two aspects of my obsession with nature and wilderness. And you?

grass roots efforting at its finest. thank you for the work you do!

one part of science that I love is that it is an ongoing exploration.

The plant, formally known as Ovicula biradiata, is especially notable for being the simultaneous discovery of a new species and genus. It was found with help from the community science app iNaturalist. By @jamesdoubek.bsky.social
