By the side of a hiking trail in Wicklow. Interesting purple colouration, almost like ink on skin. #Hiking #Fungi #FungiFriends #Mushrooms #ECK #Ireland

Top view of a mushroom cap curled up in places against a green sea of tiny ferns. The outer parts brown with an inner purple stained pattern and a little dew left from the morning rains.

The soft sprinkling of purple, as something grows on the mushroom. Parasite or symbiosis? #mosstodon #lichensubscribe #nature #photography #mushroom

A mushroom. A detail of a mushroom. There is the stalk and then the underside of the ribs that hold the top of the mushroom up. The stalk is white, and there is some yellow and the ribs are brown. But it is too close to see the top of the mushroom. It’s just the stalk and the ribs. But there is just a hint, a hint of specks of purple near where the stalk opens out to the ribs. It’s a parasite, something eating the mushroom? Or maybe its symbiotic, and they live happily together. But it looks like tiny tiny tiny sprinkles on one small section of the mushroom.

Tricholoma badicephalum - Wonderful Headed Tricholoma Quite a rarity, but it seems to like my area as this is not our first or second encounter. Distinguished by its scaliness, lack of stickiness, lack of orange tones, single veil, and its close association with spruce trees.

Holding out a mature mushroom cap in such a way that its cap, gills, stem, and veil are all visible. The host spruce is visible in the background as well as many birch leaves.

A mature T. badicephalum cap growing in the leaf litter beneath a spruce tree. The cap is quite scaley and brown and has some whitish veil remnants

A less mature mushroom cap whose scales are still a bit tighter and darker

A look at the underside of the cap of a less mature specimen. The scales on the stem are also not spaced out yet

Letitia Chitty (d. #OTD in 1982) was a pioneering British structural engineer & mathematician. A master of stress analysis, she spent her career mathematically determining the "breaking points" of complex structures, ranging from #WWI combat aircraft to major international dams. #WomenInSTEM

A monochromatic sepia-toned photograph of British structural engineer and mathematician Letitia Chitty (July 15, 1897 – September 29, 1982), a premier pioneer of 20th-century stress analysis. Positioned in a front-facing, head-and-shoulders composition, she looks directly at the camera with a sober, neutral expression and tight lips. Her dark hair is parted neatly down the center and pulled back into a simple bun. She is dressed in a dark blazer or coat layered over a high-collared, patterned blouse or knit sweater visible at the neckline. The background consists of soft, textured drapery in warm, out-of-focus sepia tones. The tight framing captures her sharp, determined demeanor, evoking a serious and intellectually focused mood. The vintage composition highlights her immense historical significance as the first woman to graduate with first-class honors in Cambridge’s Mechanical Sciences Tripos.
