Love the contrast of all the greenery with the jelly ears!
Well, did she have any?
Sweet! There are some additional more specific arthropod communities (arachnids and myriapods off the top of my head) on mander.xyz if anyone is looking.
I thought it might be "is shrimps bugs?"
Whoah! It was pretty from above but the spots paired with the powdery blue wings is next level. Great shots, too!
Not positive, but I'm thinking Stropharia. I think that looks like a veil on the stem.
Congrats! Welcome Twix!
A beautiful patch of oysters for sure!
That's an excellent point, that would be a perfect thing to include as part of a technical communications course. The problem is that probably most instructors aren't currently equipped to teach about AI in their fields, so launching some CE for professionals would be a good first step. In my field AI is a hot topic in terms of teaching it to assist with interpreting microscopy, but none of the seminars I've attended have discussed using AI to actually write microscopy reports or other forms of science/medical communication. I could see it being super useful for patient discharges for example. Most students/doctors are pretty bad at writing them.
I struggle with that too. It makes me feel a little better that they're going straight into the compost pile to become nutrients though.
It looks pink on the inside, is that unusual for puffballs?
Those colors are trippy, I love it!
