Here are some nice mushrooms
Two large mature reishi mushrooms grow from the side of a standing dead tree over wood nettles and a rocky stream. Each mushroom is like a scalloped fan, colored like a red les Paul guitar with a sunburst top. All photos by me

🌄 Coloured illustrations of British birds, and their eggs London: G.W. Nickisson, 1842-1850. [Source]
Illustration of a British woodcock standing in profile on the ground among sparse woodland plants. The bird features a long, straight beak, intricate brown and black patterned feathers on its back and wings, a lighter striped underbelly, and yellow eyes with a distinct dark stripe running through them. The setting suggests a natural woodland floor with ferns and low vegetation. This detailed 19th-century colored engraving highlights the woodcock’s cryptic plumage adapted for blending into the woods. The background is plain, emphasizing the bird’s detailed markings and posture.

Illustration from an 1842-1853 expedition publication showing three birds perched on a branch with botanical sketches in the background. The largest bird at the bottom is dark blue-black with a long tail and sturdy beak. Above it sits a black and white bird with brown wings and sharp claws. A smaller, colorful bird with gray, yellow, and orange plumage and distinct markings perches near the center. The image includes fine detailing of feathers and beaks, with labels identifying the birds as Langrayen de Viti, Pardalote Uropygial female, and Choutcart de Boyer male, highlighting species documented during the southern polar and Oceania voyages.

🦤 The birds of Australia, supplement /. London: Printed by Taylor and Francis ... published by the author ..., [1851]-1869.. [Source]
Illustration of two cassowaries, large flightless birds native to Australia. The image focuses on their heads and upper necks, showing distinctive black casque helmets on top of their heads. Their skin is a vibrant blue with textured patterns, featuring red ridges and sparse black feathers on their necks. Their large brown eyes and long, pointed black beaks are clearly detailed. The background is a soft, muted wash of colors, emphasizing the bird's vivid features. The artwork has a vintage style, labeled "Casuarius Bennetti, Gould," reflecting a 19th-century scientific illustration.

🌷 Revue horticole.. Paris: Librairie agricole de la maison rustique, 1829-1974.. [Source]
Illustration from "Revue horticole" depicting three yellow Clematis tangutica flowers with elongated, curved petals and prominent greenish seed heads. The flowers are attached to slender green stems with finely divided, lobed leaves. The botanical details are finely rendered in a soft yellow and green palette on a light background, showcasing the plant’s delicate structure and distinctive floral form. The image includes botanical text labels and is styled as a detailed 19th-century horticultural print. The tulip keyword appears unrelated to the actual flower depicted, which is Clematis tangutica.

The bulky suit displays an American flag patch on the left shoulder, a mission patch on the right, and various controls on the chest pack; she holds the gold-visored helmet. With long dark hair framing her smiling face, she poses confidently in front of a large draped American flag against a cloudy Earth-toned backdrop, symbolizing American space exploration.A color photograph of NASA astronaut Sunita Williams captured mid-stride running on a treadmill in zero gravity, secured by a white harness and bungee cords attached to her waist and shoulders. She wears a navy blue sleeveless top and shorts, athletic shoes, and gray socks, with her curly dark hair floating weightlessly. The busy ISS module around her features blue handrails, equipment racks, cables, monitors, and various floating items.
