FOTD #121 : tiny blue lights! (mycena lazulina)

tiny blue lights are little bioluminescent mushrooms in the family mycenaceae :-) there is not much known about them as they were only discovered in 2016, but so far they have been documented in southwestern japan !! they are also saprotrophic (feed on dead organic matter).

the big question : can i bite it?? the edibility is unknown thus far. ^^"

m. lazulina description :

"tiny blue lights are small & bioluminescent. the have the following traits : gills on hymenium, cap is convex, hymenium is adnate, stipe is bare. the cap is light blue to white, the gills are white & the stipe changes from white to dark blue down the length. visually, it appears as if dusted with sugar."

Looking for a power boost? Don’t count on this fungus! 🍄 The fly agaric (Amanita muscaria) can be spotted on forest floors throughout the Northern Hemisphere, with a range that includes parts of North America and Europe. Its bright red cap may be alluring, but it’s also a warning. Traditionally used as an insecticide, this mushroom is considered toxic to humans. Consumption can cause symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and hallucinations. In rare cases, it can even induce a coma-like state.

Xanthoria calcicola

This foliose lichen grows on calcareous rock and stone work (and occasionally dusty trees) in eutrophic, well-lit, mild-temperate and costal regions of Europe and the Mediterranean. It has a yellow-orange to dark orange foliose thallus forming pleated lobes growing in large rosettes up to 20 cm in diameter. The center of the rosettes are covered in knobbly warts and granular isidia, and it only rarely produces apothecia. The presence of these isidia and the lack of apothecia is the best way to distinguish this lichen from the very similar looking X. parietina which is a lot more common and often grows on bark.

Funguary Feb 24 - Cryptic False Blusher - Amanita pantherina

Amanita pantherina, also known as the panther cap. This creature is a liminal beast, both mushroom and feline. Members of this hunting species vary from almost white through various shades of pink and brown to almost black. They are not easily domesticated, but their impressive colours mean that people who are particularly dedicated will try regardless.

The nodules on the Cryptic False Blusher colour change from white to pinkish red when the animal grows warm throughout the day. This species is a common focus for wildlife photographers.

What’s one of the spookiest-looking fungi in the world? That would be the dead man’s fingers (Xylaria polymorpha). Its “fingers” are its fruiting body, and they can grow up to 4 in (10 cm) tall. You might spot it within its wide range, which spans North America and Europe. It’s typically found in forests growing on decaying or dead wood.
