But no need to worry, we all exist. We must remember the value of time, but we must not get stuck in the paradox of existentialism
-Timekeeper anon
After a long period of contemplation I have concluded this anons perspective on time itself gives to them being Armillaria ostoyae, as it is known to have live for thousands of years, giving it ample opportunity to observe the paradox of time
Nope. Are you a mushroom who lives in water?*pulls you out again and floods the askbox completely. We lay on top of the askbox*-Flooder anon
I have concluded that this anon is the fungi species Psathyrella aquatica, as observed by their tendency toward water

Excuse you I was happy where I was

Never forget every moment of time is precious

Woah. So. Me and @themushroomstheyfoundme were working on a collaborative piece for the Two to Tango segment of @mcyt-soulmate-sweepstakes !! The end product is a short piece of found media set inside a world we built and it's really cool >:D
the whole thing is under the cut, but you can also check it out at this link for the higher-quality pdf version to get a more immersive experience :>
trigger warning for a teensy teensy bit of blood towards the end, btw
Mushroom fact of the week!
Termitomyces fungus forms symbiotic relationships with termites. The termites bring the fungi plant material to decompose and build it "fungal combs" to grow in. In exchange the fungi provides nutrient rich spherules for the termites to eat.

Mushroom fact of the week!
Spalting is a pattern of dark black webs that appears in wood. It's quite sought after in woodworking for its unique appearance, but is actually caused by competition between the different fungi inhabiting the log.
The black lines are what's known as zone lines. Fungi make walls when they feel another fungi nearing in on their territory to protect their resources, resulting in black lines.
Found these neat mushrooms, not sure what they are but I can't wait to eat them!
Mushrooms in nature: I will grow no matter the obstacle I will spread my mycelium far and wide I will outlive your family and feast on your corpse no power on earth shall stop me
Mushrooms when you try to farm them: Ew tf you mean 80% humidity I said I wanted 90
*freaking dies*
Hello!
Temporary intro post while the actual meet the artist is being draw so hello!
My name is Mycota, I like mycology, and I am an artist!
Not much else to say, I'm sure I'll be much more concise with the actual thing but either way, here this is!
May I ask what the third flag in your little pinned post is? I’ve never seen it before
It's the ADHD flag! aka my favorite :)
What do you think of The Last of Us and many of humans very.. fungal fate, so to say
I think they should be honored for the opportunity to become one with the mycelium 😌
no but seriously I loveeeee this game, it has to be one of my favorite games out there :) The tv show is great too
Not flowers :D
These flowers are not flowers, but rather a parasitic fungi's "pseudo flowers" it uses to spread its spores
The fungi infects the plant and siphons off its nutrients. In order to reproduce the fungi sterilizes the host plant, preventing it from making its own flowers.
It then forces the plant to grow yellow "pseudo flowers" that contain the fungi's spores. These spores are collected by pollinators same as the plant's own pollen would be and transferred from plant to plant, spreading the infection.
Fungi I found on my hike!
I WAS looking for morels, didn't find them but did find these guys!
I think top right is a wood ear mushroom, and bottom right is for sure a cedar apple rust fungi, but I don't know about the others
Ghost pipe flower
The Ghost pipe flower is a pale white flower that lacks chlorophyll. Instead of photosynthesizing, it gets its nutrients by tapping into the network of fungi beneath the forest floor. Sometimes they are referred to as fungus flowers due to their resemblance of pale mushrooms.
