Jon SullivanIntroducing the New Zealand Bush Boba!We found this pretty orange fungus last week during our survey of Mount Grand Station near Lake Hāwea, as part of the <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/LincolnUniversityNZ" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LincolnUniversityNZ</a> Masters-level Conservation Biology course.The fungus is in the genus Heterotextus (thanks to Jerry Cooper on <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/iNaturalist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#iNaturalist</a> for the ID). It doesn't seem to have had a common name, at least not until now. The students have declared it NZ Bush Boba, and I reckon that's good. <a href="https://inaturalist.nz/observations/270592844" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://inaturalist.nz/observations/270592844</a><a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/fungi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fungi</a> <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/nz" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nz</a> <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/Aotearoa" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Aotearoa</a>

🍄Inoculating the Odd in AuDHDYesterday, I helped co-lead my first mushroom walk hosted by the Discovery Center in Philadelphia. It was cold and rainy, but we still had a decent turn out of 20-ish people? I haven't worked much with my co- before, but I'm thankful that it went well, and the host organizer was very easy to work with too. We walked along a path that I had had a chance to scope out a month earlier, which was really helpful as someone not as confident about leading trails. The practice run with her made me realize I might know more than I expected- at least enough for the purposes of the event. It was hard to find specimens in the cold, but not impossible, including wood ears and oysters. I think people who attended had a good time and got to come away with some good fungi fun facts like how it's safe to touch mushrooms or how to use iNaturalist. I'm really thankful for this opportunity.<a href="https://post.lurk.org/tags/sporespondence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sporespondence</a> <a href="https://post.lurk.org/tags/fungiverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fungiverse</a> <a href="https://post.lurk.org/tags/mushtodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mushtodon</a> <a href="https://post.lurk.org/tags/fungi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fungi</a> <a href="https://post.lurk.org/tags/mushrooms" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mushrooms</a> <a href="https://post.lurk.org/tags/communityScience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#communityScience</a>

Colin PurringtonSo what are people's thoughts on using wood chips for weed suppression?

Ellipsis... 🇨🇦Gyromitra esculenta. A common fungus on southern Vancouver Island in early spring. Guidebooks list it as "toxic" and there have been fatalities recorded from consumption. The primary toxin, gyromitrin, is water soluble so boiling the mushrooms and discarding the water removes most of the toxin. But, gyromtrin hydrolyzes to monomethylhydrazine (aka rocket fuel) that is toxic when inhaled. So prepare them outside or in a room with good ventilation.<a href="https://cosocial.ca/tags/victoriabc" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#victoriabc</a> <a href="https://cosocial.ca/tags/fungi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fungi</a> <a href="https://cosocial.ca/tags/mosstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mosstodon</a> <a href="https://cosocial.ca/tags/mushtodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mushtodon</a>
