macro shots of some lichen/moss colonies that grow on the rocky banks of the crooked river

Some moss of some sort that resembles a cluster of starburst shaped flowers in shades of yellow and green

Some grey lichen that looks like fine pebbles is growing on a pinkish rock next to grey-green and brown lichens that looks like fine like blobby flowers

A more detailed shot of the grey pebble-like lichen reveals that the larger “pebbles” have little holes. There is a pretty golden lichen growing too with a similar texture

Some green moss growing on a pinkish and grey rock along with more of the grey pebble lichen

The thing about AI and this mindset that it allows those who “can’t draw” to draw is that is a lie. I taught college level courses on drawing and met multiple students who grew leaps and bounds in their drawing skill sets because they wanted to and took the time to try Everyone can learn to draw

reading again and listening to audiobooks has been such a joy. i’m trying to stick with nonfiction for audiobooks and fiction for my physical books, and it’s been a nice divide of my attention

big time enjoying the audiobook read by the author - i had no idea it was going to be so fungal, but it’s so perfect after the last 4 books i listened to

audiobook cover of Finding the Mother Tree: Discovering the Wisdom of the Forest by Suzanne Simard. there is an old tree trunk covered in light green lichen and moss with a small conifer growing in front of it

okay here are all the fungi books i’ve currently read, in order. i actually kind of recommend this order, too, if you’re new to fungi books or fungi at all like i am. i also *just* started Finding the Mother Tree by Suzanne Simard last night - which i didn’t know was gonna be so mycological!

the book cover for The Mushroom at the End of the World: On the Possibility of Life in Capitalist Ruins by Anna Lowenhaupt Tsing, featuring a light grey bg and a brownish watercolor painting of a matsutake mushroom

book cover for Entangled Life: How Fungi Make Our Worlds, Change Our Minds & Shape Our Futures by Melvin Sheldrake - a rainbow of fungi and lichen surround a black bg with mycelium strands connecting them

bookcover of How to Change Your Mind - What the New Science of Psychedelics Teaches Us About Consciousness, Dying, Addiction, Depression, and Transcendence by Michael Pollan. the bg is black with an open window looking up at a blue sky with a single white cloud

the book cover for In Search of Mycotopia: Citizen Science, Fungi Fanatics, and the Untapped Potential of Mushrooms by Doug Bierend. the bg is black with a grayscale bunch of mushrooms in the center and strands of mycelium branching out and in from the corners

Had to clamber over a barbed wire fence, rip my coat and trespass to get a photo of this folkloric monster pretending half-successfully to be a tree. I have no regrets.

A tree - possibly an ent - with legs, arms and an unusually large bellybutton.
