Usually you find entomopathogenic fungi like these on the undersides of leaves, but sometimes they crawl onto the bottom of a mushroom cap to die

The gill shots on this Deconica are just too nice - also, they fluoresce pink/red under 365nm UV light! I wish the lightning was a bit more condusive to getting a good UV shot of the gills here.

I remember reading the poem 'First They Came' by pastor Martin Niemöller. Viscerally.
It was in my ninth grade social studies class; I was thirteen. It was 2000 - 9/11 hadn't happened yet. The US wasn't at war - not really. Sure there was some middle eastern action, remnants of the gulf war (cont)

My oldest cat passed away last month - he was 17.
I've been working on a memorial piece for him - it hurts so much that he is gone but doing this is, in a way, helping me grieve

'tis the season for Macrolepiota (or at least it would be if we weren't in drought.) These guys are a choice edible, and pretty easy to ID. Look for a moveable, double-sided ring, 'snakeskin' patterning on the stipe, and white to pale pinkish spores.
