Funguary Day 25: Trumpet of Death

“Trumpet of death” is actually a misleading name, as these mushrooms are highly sought after for being edible. They are also known as “horn of plenty” and can be found in autumn. They do, however, have several poisonous lookalikes.

Happy April fools!

Let's play a game! :D Which of the following mushrooms are you going to eat?

In this game you can't say none of the above. You have to choose. I promise at least one will be a tasty snack. The other one is less so. Good luck :D

Use your time wisely. What is wise,that's your opinion - Timekeeper anon

Funguary!!!!!

My time has come!!!!!!

February is right around the corner, which means it’s soon time for Funguary 2025! The drawing event where we draw a bunch of mushroom based characters during the month of February.

Rules are super simple, just draw art related to mushrooms! No need to complete all the prompts, just pick and choose from the ones you feel inspired by🍄

This is one of my extra works for the art event I'm in currently, the @mcyt-soulmate-sweepstakes!

It was made to match my teammate @that-onecookiehead's fic for week one!

Prompt: Bonfire

Points: 875

Woods adventure :)

Earlier today I went into the woods to hunt for bones with my grandpa, first thing we did was find where all the tracks were down by the creek, and there were a LOT. We found mostly deer tracks, but there were some raccoon tracks, rabbit tracks, and coyote tracks mixed in

As far as dead things go, there was some rabbit fur and feathers about, but no bones. There's been a hawk in the area lately, so it was probably him.

Of course, I did find fungi :D Its winter right now so theres not many about but the bracket fungi tend to stick around year round

I'm not sure what species it is, so if anyone knows let me know. There was also some reishi growing out by the wood pile, those have been growing there for almost a year now.

This horribly spiked honey locust tree was out to get me, and it did in fact spike me.

I was out in the woods a good 45 minutes before I headed back, and there were sadly no bones or antlers to be found. I did find some pretty blue glass and a crayfish claw though :D

Then I headed to the barn to see if any owls had left some bones for me. They had not, but the lighting was really nice :)

Funguary Day 13: Fly Agaric

The Fly Agaric is quite possibly the most iconic mushroom there is. It was traditionally used as an insecticide. The cap was broken into pieces and sprinkled into saucers of milk. It contains ibotenic acid which both attracts and kills flies, thus, giving it its name.

Mushroom fact of the week!

The white spots viewed on the fly agaric are actually not a part of the cap at all!

Many fungi’s fruiting bodies form inside a small sac, which when it breaks open becomes the universal veil. It's actually pieces of this sac that stick to the cap of the fly agaric becoming the appearance of white spots! If you were to touch the cap the spots would wipe off quite easily 

Funguary Day 27: Scarlet Cup

Most species that would come to mind when you think of fungi are basidiomycetes, fungi that produce their spores in cells called basidia. This phylum of fungi contains most of the “fleshy” fungi, including all fungi with gills or pores. Some “fleshy” fungi however, like the Scarlet Cup, are Ascomycetes. Mushrooms like morels and saddle fungi are also a part of this phylum. Ascomycetes produce their spores in sac-like structures called asci, unlike the basidia of the basidiomycetes. See the diagram below for more clarification on the difference between asci and basidia!
