Tired of insta and etsy, starting my mastodon journey today!
So let me do an #introduction post. I make ceramics and porcelain in a small studio in Berlin.
Sometimes practical, but mostly experimenting with the artistic side.
German and English are not my native, so expect me to translate a lot.
Monday morning trail run had an unexpected "private land" sign half mile down one of the trails. Never fear, I've been practicing bushwhacking for years! #TrailRunning#mushrooms#salamander#bear
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!
For #FungiFriday some:
Carbon Balls!
King Alfred’s Cakes!
Cramp Balls!
Coal Fungi!
Ulcer Clumps!
Ok, I made that last one up. Found this ash branch loaded with them as they age from a dirty brick red to black. The second picture is if you slice one open - you see concentric rings, like a tree.
