#TGIF The rain finally stopped in the late afternoon. Kengo wasn't in the mood for photos at all, so I post some pretty things that do pose for me.
Have a restful evening and a wonderful weekend.

https://www.mushroomexpert.com/Helvella_silvicola.html
Ecology: Possibly mycorrhizal; growing alone, scattered, or gregariously under conifers; summer and fall. Originally described from Sweden (Fries 1828) and neotypified (Hansen et al. 2019) from Switzerland; in Europe found mostly in northern and montane areas; in North America found from roughly the 43rd parallel northward, as well as in the Rocky Mountains and montane Mexico. The illustrated and described collection is from British Columbia.
Fruiting Body: 2-8 cm high; 1-2 cm wide; shaped like a rounded-off donkey ear (like a cup fungus folded inward along a vertical axis); outer surface medium brown and bald, becoming more pale toward the base; inner surface dark purplish brown to dark reddish brown, bald; base with a rudimentary, wrinkled or ribbed stem, up to about 2 cm long and 1 cm thick, with a yellowish to pale brownish or whitish surface.
Flesh: Thin; brittle; brownish in the "ear" and whitish in the stem; unchanging when sliced.
Odor: Not distinctive.
Microscopic Features: Spores 18-23 x 13-15 m; broadly ellipsoid; smooth; with one large central oil droplet that often nearly completely fills the spore; hyaline in KOH. Asci 275-300 x 10-12.5; 8-spored; hyaline in KOH. Paraphyses exceeding the asci by 10-12 m; filiform with rounded to clavate or subclavate apices; 3.5-5 m wide at the widest point; hyaline in KOH. Excipular surface trichoderm-like, with clavate, septate elements 10-15 m wide, smooth, hyaline to, en masse, brown in KOH. Hyphae of the contest densely interwoven; 3-4 m wide; smooth; hyaline in KOH.

I like this photo, it is actually featured in one of my books. I had to lie on the ground to create this intimate portrait. Sometimes I return home wet and muddy, twigs and moss in my hair, and that for me is a good day in the field.
imagine owning this #dog and then doing #mushrooms:
Here are more examples of the beautiful growth we saw on the dead trees on our backpacking trip in the wilderness earlier this week. The vertical tree with the large dark mushrooms (left pic) was a prominent figure at the stream where we camped and ate our meals. The gray mushroom on the fallen tree (top right pic) looks like a frog in disguise!
#FungiFriday #mushrooms #moss
Hiking deep into the wilderness earlier this week, we saw many dead trees in the forest that were untouched by humans. Some of the trees, whether they were still standing or already lying on the ground, had beautiful mushrooms growing on them. Here are a few examples. #FungiFriday #mushrooms
Please don't comment with knowledge, don't read Wikipedia. Just answer spontaneously without thinking much. I want to explore a human phenomenon.
#Mushrooms are:
I really don’t know where I’m going with this. Is it mossy or diseased? Work in progress. Might chuck it out the window.

Shiitakes!
This is a log I inoculated with shiitake spawn a few years ago. I had soaked it in the cold stream for a day about a week ago to encourage fruiting.
The mushrooms really grew overnight in the thunderstorm. Harvested 3/4th of the clusters. ~360g.
Unfortunately they are quite dirty from the splash-back of dirt during the storm.
Haven't decided if we'll dry them and put them in the 'for mushroom stock remember to filter for dirt' jar or try to clean them and eat them fresh.

THE "VERY STABLE GENIUS" STRIKES AGAIN: #Trumps's Surgeon General Pick... #LOL...Said #Mushrooms Helped Her Find #Love....
PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — President #DonaldTrump’s new pick for surgeon general wrote in a recent book that people should consider using unproven #PsychedelicDrugs as #Therapy and suggested her use of mushrooms helped her find a #RomanticPartner.
ILLEGAL DRUG USE?: Means’ use of #Psilocybin-assisted therapy is illegal under federal law...
Our weka counts were around sunset (counting calls), so our days were free for exploring. There were huge numbers of #mushrooms, particularly through the DoC area. Here are a few (details in the alt text)
