come on NASA give us the space mushrooms :< I have a space hyperfixation and only know about mushrooms from you lolllllll I’m a little AI hating tech nerd
In 1993 NASA sent enoki mushrooms to space as food for astronauts and to test the mushroom's reaction to zero gravity. Instead of growing vertically as it normally does, the enoki mushrooms shot out in all directions.
This is sadly a photo of enoki in boring normal gravity because NASA wasn't nice enough to take a photo of their enoki for me.

here on account of all of us neurodivergent folk who shall hyper fixate on this
and then most likely forget to do each day/get too overwhelmed by the idea of doing each day cause that’s how goes it…
A bit blank for now but once the time comes I'm adding my posts for each day of Funguary!
This event is hosted by feefal and is primarily a drawing challenge in which people create a character based on a mushroom for each day of February. I'm going to be doing the art in my own time and will likely only be posting a couple of my favorites.
However, I do plan to make a post for every day of February in which I talk about some of the cool science behind the mushroom of the day. We've got mushrooms that glow, mushrooms that digest themselves, and mushrooms that cause internal bleeding, so should be fun!
Science tidbits:

I. Will. Post. The. Pizza shroom.
you can’t stop me…
The cremini is one of the most commonly and widely consumed mushrooms in the world. It is cultivated in over 70 countries. You’ve likely heard of this mushroom, it goes by several different names for its two different appearances in its immature state and even more names in its mature state. Some of these names include button mushroom, champignon, chestnut mushroom, and portobello.

The idea of giving ocs trauma gets funnier If children are technically their parents OCs, “parents time to give my oc trauma :D”

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*
^ cool art :D
I decided to do a meet the artist! :D
So! Important things: My name's Agaric, like the mushroom, and I'm your local mycelium obsessed *probably* human!
Theres also a couple other hyperfixations mixed in there, currently being Hermitcraft, The Magnus Archives, and Minecraft :)
I post about mushrooms every Saturday, and I have a TON of mycology related posts over in my Funguary 2025 right here! If you have any fungi you would like to hear more about, let me know in the asks and I will reply! Or alternatively just use them as a place to yap about fungi, either works :)
As for art, it happens whenever about whatever but it does happen somewhat often!
ides of march beware!!!

Now what happens if those team ups tie, what happens then?
“vote scar!!” “No vote zam!!” Yap yap yap YAPPPPP NO I SAY WE VOTE BOTH. Put them on the same percentage, I want to see them both on a team
i fear they would be unstoppable
out of all the ones I drew I should have done this one… might do it probs not it looks like a galactic snack *nom* (I don’t care if I get sick it looks good)
This is a lovely mushroom, and also a perfect example of mycorrhizal fungi!
The mushroom’s mycelium surrounds the roots of the tree and helps the tree to absorb water and nutrients. In exchange, the mushroom is provided with food and amino acids produced by the tree.
