For the mycophiles: a selection of Appalachia’s early spring fungi. Forgive me if I get any of these wrong, because I’m still learning how to identify all the wonderful fungi that grow in the woods around here. Incidentally, my go-to mycological bible is Mushrooms of West Virginia and the Central Appalachians, by William Roody. Maybe someday I can absorb just a fraction of the knowledge contained in this wonderful guide and become something more than a stumbling amateur.
From top: turkey tail (Trametes versicolor); a delicate Mycena, either nitrous bonnet (M. leptocephala) or stump fairy bonnet (M. alcalina); gilled polypore (Trametes betulina); witches’ butter (Tremella mesenterica), a lovely and unusual jelly fungus; and pinwheel mushroom (Marasmius rotula).

So this post introduced me to posters for Wish that I hadn't seen before and BUCKLE UP FOLKS CAUSE I'M ABOUT TO GO NUTS
Tumblr media
REFERENCES GALOOOOORRRRE! There's Rapunzel's lanterns reflected on the water as well as her sun symbol painted on the cottage pillars, Moana's (Te Fiti's heart) spiral on the rocks to the left, a racoon and the partridges which I chose to believe are a Snow White reference (of course the racoon could be Meeko from Pocahontas, too.) The flower resembles the Sundrop flower (with the wrong amount of petals and no glow.) There's also a carving on the rocks just below the cottage, but I can't make out what the carving is. Can you?
Tumblr media
EVEN MORE REFERENCES GALORE AND FOLKS I'M GONNA SCREAM! In Wish bubbles at the top of the screen we have: the Elephant Graveyard from The Lion King; Ariel from The Little Mermaid; an unknown for certain man standing at a ship's wheel, possibly Eric; Sleeping Beauty's dress; an unknown scene that looks like water; Be Prepared from the Lion King (the crescent moon finale); a figure with a staff or a flag, maybe Radcliffe from Pocahontas?; Gaston, flexing; and someone reaching out for what looks like the moon, sitting on something that looks vaguely like a fish (Aladdin? Quasimodo? Milo in Atlantis?)
BELOW the Wish orbs, though, we've got Disney Villain props all tossed around! At the back worktable we see Dr. Facilier's hat, next to a Sundrop flower, and a rack of antlers and fur that I'm gonna take as a Gaston reference. On the front worktable we have the Poison Apple from Snow White, some Tarot cards of Facilier's, bottled polyps from Ursula's lair, and in the stacks of scrolls below we can see Judge Claude Frollo's hat.
Tumblr media
Aladdin's lamp and Bruno's ruana are sitting on a rock to the right, and between them are colorful bugs from The Lion King! The trees have faces which made me think of Grandmother Willow but not sure fully. Up at the top we can see a silhouette of Lumiere on one of the branches, and a racoon holds Chip the teacup! The owl and bluebirds are of course typical "princess in the forest" companions and I'll let you draw your own conclusions, but we also have Bambi and Faline (both adults) in the background! One of the chipmunks in the foreground holds a piece of broken green stone like the kind that stores Bruno's visions, right above a turtle that I'm certain is a Snow White reference! Also, the flowers covered in visible dewdrops as well as the mushrooms remind me of "The Nutcracker Suite" animations in Fantasia!
Tumblr media
And last (and with the least references I could find,) on the left we have one of Belle's books sitting on the steps! A farmer with the giant pumpkin that might have been Cinderella's carriage has just gone past in the background, and Simba's symbol from The Lion King can be seen on the opposite side of the steps, close to the yellow pinwheel. The two children are sitting on a pirate ship under two stars... maybe the Second Star to the Right? The last woman on the right has a pattern on her vase that I can't quite make out, and Valentino has a dandelion in his mouth (my first impression is the dandelions that Belle holds while singing her I Want song, but I could be wrong!)
Did I miss any references? Can you spot any that I didn't see? Please let me know!

Marasmius mushrooms which sprouted after heavy rainfall.
These adorable mushrooms often resemble small parasols, with the side of the cap curving inward with the gills - the gills themselves arranged quite spatially. This gives the mushroom the shape of a small parachute, and with the stems often being thin and barely noticeable, their caps cover the garden in tiny little fairy parasols.
The specimens above were collected amongst the grass, though their small size makes them hard to spot. Looking forward for the rain's return during this heatwave to look for more mushrooms (though hopefully the flooding doesn't return).
Gills: branches found under the mushroom's cap
16-17/12/23 - Marasmius spp.
QLD:WET - Before/after Cyclone Jasper flooding

I really like the idea of the kids being mythical creatures, but, in that way where it's something that just... came into being
Sticky's a nature spirit that manifested in an abandoned library that became overgrown with ivy and mushrooms and plants. He grew out of the warped books being eaten away by fungus, full of knowledge and used to the lonely cold and damp
Kate's a wind spirit that appeared laughing during a festival full of flags and kites and little kids running with pinwheels. She did handstands and somersaults along the banner, laughing along with the children whose skin she tickled
Reynie is the spirit of one of the ancient gargoyles perched on the roof of the orphanage leftover from when it used to be a home. Miss Perumal would talk to it sometimes when she visited, and then one day Reynie appeared in the line up of kids, as if he'd always been there
Constance is the spirit of a child's lost rainboots, discarded and looked over but never claimed as they sat in a lost and found bin, listening to the whispers of all who had let something important go missing. Unwanted, but stubbornly resilient in looking for a home and a way back to somewhere she belonged
