Been too tired to chase auroras the past few nights but really happy for those of you that saw it, and thankful for the amazing pictures you've plastered over Mastodon.
I did get out today in the autumn foliage and was lucky to see my first Mycena Interrupta, or cute little blue mushy, since moving to Tasmania.
These wonderful little Q-tip sprouty things are Swamp Beacon [Mitrula elegans] mushrooms, and up until yesterday I had never found one. In fact they aren’t listed in many of my guides or fungi websites I visit. They mostly grow on fallen conifer needles IN BOGS… so you can see why they don’t get a lot of press!
Split Gills [Schizophyllum commune] are one of those mushrooms that, like Turkey Tail, can be dismissed as dreadfully boring. BUT, then you see a fruiting like this and you’re reminded of seashells and wildflowers.
Bent down to pick up a rusty saw blade and found these little fungi. More mouse cookies, these iced with orange icing. #mushtodon#fungi#LichenSubscribe
