Does everyone get these or have I been targeted for some scam for men who are dumb as fuck?

some fuligo septica from last wednesday, I'd love to see like, a ct scan of one of these logs #slimemold #slimemoldsunday #slimemould
bright yellow fuligo septica slime mold covering the craggy surface of a log, looks like bits of scrambled egg connected by vein-like tendrilsthe same suligo septica slime mold from another part of the log, showing a single yellow tendril branching off and spreading across the blotchy wood grain surface searching for food

Steppin out From my favorite spot in wyman park, mainly because it's a nice isolated spot with a big rock to it on, but also because this can happen if you just sit patiently at the right time of day. #photography #wildlife #birds

The oldest trees in northwest branch all have this kind of pattern, looks almost as if they've endured some kind infestation, scarred over, and survived. #photography
bark of an old, weathered tree, with patterns them seem like they were left by insects eating away it which then scarred over, again and again, giving an almost scale-like impression in places, and cast in soft light from the side, leaving soft but dramatic shadows in the ridges of the bark.

It is friday once again, this pic from earlier in the summer #photography #fungifriends #fungifriday
a beige colored bracket fungus on a mossy log in golden sunlight, it has concentric rings like a turkey tail but not as much color variation as those normally do.  Resembles an ear, or a strip mine seen from above.  There's another, smaller, darker growth dotted on the surface of the mushroom, hard to say if it's part of it or not.

one of my favorite woodgrain finds from last year #photography
surface of a decaying log featuring wavy wood grain lines swooping inf from the left and bending towards the top right corner.  It shows a range of colors, beige, brown, black, and green from algae.  The surface is pockmarked from paths left by insects and dotted with tiny wood ear mushrooms that are a bit past their prime
