I love mushrooms :3

Mushrooms are great™️ :D

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

Funguary Day 10: Guepinia

Most of the mushrooms I’ve talked about so far this funguary have a defined gill or pore structure that produces the fungi’s spores, but Guepinia lacks that. The upper side of the mushroom is quite sterile, usually with a few isolated basidia (spore producing structure), while the underside of the mushroom is where the hymenium (spore producing tissue) is located. Overall the mushroom has a very gelatinous texture, more so at the edges while the base has a cartilage-like consistency.

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

I need everyone to know how amazing these lil guys are I love the sm

Funguary Day 21: Birds Nest Fungi

The bird's nest fungi is named for its nest-like appearance, with “eggs” inside the main cup. The “eggs” are actually called peridioles and they're where the mushroom stores its spores. They're usually attached to the peridium (the main cup structure of the fungi) by a thin cord called the funicular cord. The cord is coiled inside a purse (see diagram below) until spore dispersal occurs. 

Bird's nest fungi are reliant on rain to disperse its spores. Raindrops trigger the spore release by splashing the peridoles out of place, as visible in this video. The purse ruptures and the cord uncoils as the peridoles are splashed into the air. Sometimes the funicular cord will wrap around a branch or twig and attach to the new substrate via the hapteron (see diagram below).

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.

He is very hungry, you would not let him starve would you?
