FOTD #077 : purple fairy club! (alloclavaria purpurea)
the purple fairy club (AKA purple coral) is a coral fungus from the family repetobasidiaceae. it has mainly been found in spruce-fir forests :-)
the big question : can i bite it??
yes !! this fungus is edible, but insubstantial.
a. purpurea description :
"the fruiting body of alloclavaria purpurea is made of numerous slender cylindrical spindles that may grow to a height of 12 centimetres (4+3⁄4 in), with individual spindles being 2–6 millimeters thick. the colour is purple or lavender, although the color fades to tan in older specimens."

Some people put their whole hearts into trying to make Mollymauk a Glee character when he is, at his core, somewhere between a washed up magician selling fake silk sheets on daytime television and a line cook in an ankle-length fur coat who you meet at a drag show, who feeds your dog filet mignon and then ghosts you halfway through your third date.

I'm pretty terrible at doing nothing and resting my neck... Handily, modelling clay is something you can hold at head height and twiddle with. This is my first attempt at making fungi in air-drying clay 🍄🌳
It's really nice to take some time and do something arty but different from work, even if I am still vexed by having to *not do all the things* 😂
I don't actually have any clay tools, so if anyone wants to recommend something fancier than cocktail sticks lmk!

Hi, Merry Christmas. I apologize for not really having a Christmas drawing right now. I was busy with busy with other projects, but I didn’t have enough time to do a Christmas project. However I still have some plans on future projects, and will tell them more on a separate post. Otherwise, enjoy this old and dumb meme sketch I did of Jade ❤️
