Took me forever, but I finally got my gump in gear and coloured my birbman! Meet Jacquilin! A jackdaw with a huge interest in monstrous beings. Especially mimics and slimes!
A drawing of an anthropomorphic bird, wearing fancy clothing; black top hat with a red band, red cravat, blue tailcoat with light-blue lining, mud-green trousers with dark pink leather cuffs and a white plague doctor mask. They are holding a fancy wooden walking cane with leather wrappings, brass details and a large green orb as a top handle.

Of course, I could've gone to another store to see if they sold half cabbages, but I'm not gonna bike across my whole city just to get 50% less cabbage! That's stupid! So I get it home, cook the pudding and chop up one quarter of cabbage as predicted. Delicious as hell!

I felt like eating blood pudding for dinner one night. As the name suggests, it's made of blood. It's mixed with flour to make a sort of thick, heavy dough that you later fry in a pan. This is what it looks like.

Some years old drawing of a dream I had 13 or so years ago. I remember it distincly due to the dream paralysis I had, where I was awake but couldn't move for a full minute, after waking up.
A traditional gel pen drawing of two shadowy, limbless figures with bright faces in a cave. They are standing in fron of a staircase, leading to an ornate platform with a door on it. One of the figures have blank eyes, the other has compass stars in its eyes.

Last of the year. Bugs are sleeping, shrooms have retracted. Instead we have snow and mulled wine. ☃️ 'Til next year! #fungifriends 🍄📷
Fly amanita in grass! I take a lot of pics of these, don't I...?Three brown, spongy mushrooms at the side of a road! Look like baked goods, but sadly isn't.

So much can change in very little time. Today, you treat yourself to something tasty. Tomorrow, you realize pizza maybe wasn't the best option... Oh well. Next time, You'll DEFINITELY be wiser! #fungifriends 🍄📷
Two little fly amanitas right next to each other. They have just emerged from the ground, which honestly make them look a LOT like popcorn.The popcorn grew into pizzas! How the heck did that happen! Science has gone too far!
Still looks tasty!

Who could'a thunk it? More shrooms! Wish the city had more diversity. Next year, I might go into forest to find different #fungifriends 🍄📷
Tan mushroom. At the side of the road. One of the spongy underside ones. Very cute~A cluster of flat, brown mushrooms growing at the foot of a streetlight. They kinda look like a stack of pies. Especially with that dark, curled up rims.
... I want pie.

SNOW HAS APPEARED ON THE GROUND! Thankfully, these were taken before that happened and I still have some more shrooms to share before shroom season is over! #fungifriends 🍄📷
Two brown m... actually, three now that I look closer, but the third one is kinda off to the side, hard to see, so it doesn't count. 
 So there's two, LIGHT brown mushrooms beside each other in the grass at the side of a road. They look like what one typically thinks of when someone talks mushrooms. Like, SUPER typical. EMOJI mushroom typical, know what I mean?
 Except I think the emoji for mushroom is a fly amanita... It's not one of those.THIS is a fly amanita! Y'know, the red with white spots that you should keep away from your mouth? White stem? Yeah, you know your stuff. I don't have to tell ya. The cap of this one is flat, but with a bit of a wobble and the edges are a bit yellowed. Very pretty~

Have some limited-palette space! Yes, I've also caught the #webfishing fever. It's chill. I like chill.

Two clusters of of yellow mushrooms growing on the side of a rotten, moss covered tree stump.Closeup of the left cluster of four shroomies. Buncha moss decided to photobomb the picture too.Second cluster on the... right side (had to think for a sec). About eight or so li'l yellow button mushies.

Shrooms. We all have them. Who needs'em (I do)? They're not at all like us! But still funky li'l chunkies. #FungiFriends 🍄📷
Heh. Ain't this mushy boi a flat one? Slightly greenish brown. Very wide and flat.This one is tiny. Barely 2 inches. Cap is like an upside-down bowl and dark brown. Stem is thin and light brown, getting a bit darker and speckled near the bottom.

A beetle! On the ground? Does that mean it's a ground beetle? Scientists are still unsure! #BugBuddies 📷🪲
A small... actually, it's a kinda big beetle and it's brown and black! Some thin... pinkish stripes on the sides of the thorax? A nice boi**the usage of "boi" is meant as gender neutral, as I do not know the sex of said beetle. Beetles can't talk either, so I couldn't ask and I felt it rude to check without asking.

Mushrooms are like people. Some are introverts and prefer to be alone. Some are extroverts who like to hang out in big groups! And eating them is probably a bad idea! #fungifriends 📷🍄
A brown, kinda thick-capped mushroom. It's got pores and stuff on the underside. Surrounded by a LOT of clovers!A cluster of shrooms growing out of a rotten birch stump. They're kinda mushy (lol) and kinda brown and yellow. Reminds me of lasagna, to be honest.

S'at time o'the year again! The funky fungi is popping up to say "Hello World!" Wonder what plans they have for this year's invasion... #fungifriends 📷🍄
Hecc if I know what kinda mushroom this is, but it's Brownish red on top, white on the underside with gills. Like a fly amanita, but not. Growing out of the moss.Light tan, flat cap mushroom that's gone a bit scrungly. These photos were taken at night on the countryside. Was dark as heck! Spooky!

Sometimes... ya just gotta be a beetle... and hang out, looking at stuff. 🪲 #BugBuddies 🪲📷
A beetle. Small and light brown. Hanging out on the edge of a wooden bench. Pondering the stone pavement below.A beetle that's also brown, but of a different shape. This one is on a white painted wood wall. This one is comparing the heat difference between the sun and the shade.

I believe this could be a bunch of tortoise shell caterpillars. Small, black and spiky.We call them nettle butterflies, since they feed mostly on nettles.At least while theyre babies. Adult one do the flowery sippy soup.🐛

And thus ends my fungal foray for now. One can only wish that autumn comes sooner, but alas. Such is time. #fungifriends 📷🍄
Two fly amanitas... no wait, three. One's trying to be sneaky, hiding under the clovers. Clever mush.Another fly amanita. Really like this shot, honestly. Could be a postcard!Two clusters of brown mushrooms. The way they're set up looks like it's about to be a very heated confrontation.MASSIVE fairy ring! Like, easily over a hundred mushrooms in a huge ring on the side of the road! Big enough to kidnap an elephant... an adolescent one, at least.

A fly amanita on grass. Y'know, those red mushrooms with white dots that you shouldn't eat unless you're Super Mario? Yeah, that one.Shaggy ink cap showing off its inky stage, seeping black goop from its otherwise off-white cap!Another shaggy, right in-between the shaggy and ink stages, its cap looking shredded and showing some black "ink" at the bottom of the shreds.A cluster of shaggy ink caps, all in different stages of maturity!

Just to be clear, these are all my own photos, but consent was asked before any photos were taken. #fungifriends 📷🍄
Shaggy ink cap. A tall, off-white shroom with a flaky-looking cap that goes down the whole foot. Its cap will later shrink and start seeping black sludge, hence the "ink" part of its name. This one's still in its "shaggy" stage.A few more shaggy ink caps, about to go into their "ink" stage. Not fully there yet, though.More shaggies, being shaggy (don't worry, ink versions will arrive in a bit).A cluster of small, yellow button-looking mushrooms. Absolutely tiny.

Fly amanita! It's red! Has white bumps on it. Common no-no mushroom. This one has a hole in it.Brown mushroom with a cap covered in equally brown bumps. It's a bit damaged and wrinkled, but still doing good!A big cluster of brown, bulbous mushrooms on a very rotten piece of wood. All surrounded by ferns.Shaggy ink caps on forest ground, surrounded by even more ferns... I think those count as ferns, at least.

The suspicion was correct! People love mushrooms! Notes taken! #fungifriends 📷🍄
A closeup of a couple of small, dark brown gilled mushrooms standing closely together in a patch of grass. One slightly taller than the other and with a flared cap.A small cluster of light brown mushrooms with caps shaped like stretched lemons. Also on grass.Several big clusters of light brown mushrooms surrounding a cluster of near black and dry-looking mushrooms. And wouldn't ya now! It's also on grass.A mushroom. I dunno, maybe four inches tall? Light brown... white foot. Kinda like thebrown mushroom from Minecraft, if you've seen that one.
Oh yeah. It's on grass.
