Thanks @ragman for joining me and the Philly Myco club on today’s foray! Here’s my coolest find: a sexual morph of a cordyceps cicadeae (yes like the genus of fungi for the last of us). It’s my first entomological fungi I’ve found on my own. My friend really loves these jawns and it’s her second time ever seeing this morph, so I was super glad to bestow it upon her 😊
Edit: we’re not sure about the exact species so it’s going to get sequenced and then the dehydrated specimen will be saved in the academy of natural science’s herbarium

The world's most elusive #orchid lives underground in #Australia. Scientists are trying to rescue it from going completely extinct https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20250925-the-race-to-save-the-worlds-rarest-orchid
"It flowers, grows, germinates, and sets seed totally underground, and is pollinated by #termites. The orchid is able to survive underground thanks to an intricate 3-way alliance: it connects to an above-ground #Melaleuca bush through #fungi. The connecting #fungus transfers nutrients from the bush to the orchid."

I'm happy to report that the bike seat fungus has had a good year. Looking forward to harvesting one as mine is getting threadbare.

Two of my interests that I never thought I'd see together in a Venn diagram are fungi and kayaks. And yet!

"But upon a closer look, Shoemaker’s kayak was no ordinary kayak. Brown-ish yellow and bumpy in texture, it had been made – or rather, grown – entirely from mushrooms."

The change to cooler weather with some rain brought out the mushrooms.
These tiny pops of colour are Goblet Waxcaps.
