Sarah DeLong-Duhon @sarahddl.bsky.social · 31/03/2025A quick doodle of some mushrooms Mycena leiana - Orange Mycena 000
Sarah DeLong-Duhon @sarahddl.bsky.social · 15/03/2025Some recent photos! It's starting to warm up here finally and I'm excited to find more mushrooms to photograph 💚 010
Sarah DeLong-Duhon @sarahddl.bsky.social · 09/03/2025I bought a compact printer and they're just so cuuuute 010
Sarah DeLong-Duhon @sarahddl.bsky.social · 16/02/2025Have a pretty Lycoperdon perlatum (Gem Studded Puffball) Alcohol ink markers, gel pen and micron pen 020
Sarah DeLong-Duhon @sarahddl.bsky.social · 14/02/2025Yo here's a pretty mold I found on an old blood agar plate with Enterococcus Green eggs (and ham)? 010
Sarah DeLong-Duhon @sarahddl.bsky.social · 13/02/2025Sorry I don't post enough to Bluesky. I like writing long messages and it's honestly kinda rude that I can't here. But here's some girdled honey locusts at my local park! Also, don't support fascist government please and thank you 💚 010
Sarah DeLong-Duhon @sarahddl.bsky.social · 11/02/2025Here's a photo of Galerina marginata I took 14 years ago! 010
Sarah DeLong-Duhon @sarahddl.bsky.social · 31/01/2025Check out the scales on this purple Laccaria. Yes, it's also growing from old wood 000
Sarah DeLong-Duhon @sarahddl.bsky.social · 30/01/2025Out of all the Nidulariaceae, Cyathus striatus seems to be the most common. Birds nest fungi's "eggs" are called peridioles, and they contain the spores. The eggs require some force to leave the cup, which is typically supplied by water drops. How do you suppose this family evolved? 010
Sarah DeLong-Duhon @sarahddl.bsky.social · 27/01/2025Did you know lichens have feets? They have to attach themselves to tricky substrates somehow, and they use little holdfasts called rhizines to do it! This foliose lichen has attached itself to red painted steel. #lichen 060
Sarah DeLong-Duhon @sarahddl.bsky.social · 26/01/2025Here we have the crust fungus Peniophora albobadia, also called Giraffe Spots. This aptly named basidiomycete often comes along with a parasite, Tremella mesenterica, one of many yellow jellies you might find in the forest. Where you find Witches Butter, look also for the Giraffe Spots! #mycology 010
Sarah DeLong-Duhon @sarahddl.bsky.social · 13/01/2025Here's some cute lichens! I can't tell you what species they are, but lichens come in a few basic morphologies. Shown here are fruticose (shrubby or hair like), foliose (leaf like), and leprose (powdery). I'm really curious what the last one on pine bark is! #lichen 260
Sarah DeLong-Duhon @sarahddl.bsky.social · 12/01/2025Matchsticks? Nope, it's Mycena epipterygia var. lignicola! I first encountered this pine-loving species at Guntersville Lake in Alabama (last picture) and the stems were so bright they almost looked green! Can you spot the bug friend? 🧐 020
Sarah DeLong-Duhon @sarahddl.bsky.social · 08/01/2025In case anyone else wants to learn about Stereum ID! From top to bottom: Stereum subtomentosum, S. fasciatum and S. lobatum. S. lobatum's tomentum is so felted and matted you can't distinguish individual hairs. This is one of several features used to distinguish North American Stereum 120
Sarah DeLong-Duhon @sarahddl.bsky.social · 07/01/2025Today's subject is.. Amanita! I think. I'm no Amanita expert and it's a difficult genus, so I can't tell you what species I've found in Florida, but veils and volvas usually point to one thing. Bonus points if you can spot the little bug friend!! #mushrooms 120
Sarah DeLong-Duhon @sarahddl.bsky.social · 06/01/2025It really looks like I was about to eat this Fomes graveolens like a burger 🍔 🍽️ #mycology 020
Sarah DeLong-Duhon @sarahddl.bsky.social · 05/01/2025Gills are fantastic and I love them. Fun to photograph and fun to draw! They're all different, whether it's because of species morphology or just variation from environmental influences. 1. Hygrophorus 2. Omphalotus subilludens 3. Lactifluus 4. Laccaria trullissata 030
Sarah DeLong-Duhon @sarahddl.bsky.social · 03/01/2025I love hearing your opinions so here we go again! I took a ton of rose pictures after a rainstorm, but I am so torn on which one is the prettiest. Let me know in the comments which is your favorite and why 🌹 💕 000
Sarah DeLong-Duhon @sarahddl.bsky.social · 02/01/2025I took so many cool pics of these resurrection ferns (Pleopeltis michauxiana) in Alabama I can't decide which one is best! Let me know in the comments which one you like better 😀 🌿 010
Sarah DeLong-Duhon @sarahddl.bsky.social · 30/12/2024I won't have much to post on social media until new years, but here's a sneak peek at the fungi I found in Florida! Immature Mycena epipterygia var lignicola, some kind of Amanita, and deer moss (Cladonia) #fungi 010
Sarah DeLong-Duhon @sarahddl.bsky.social · 27/12/2024I hadn't IDed this guy before, but I'm feeling pretty sure it's a Chroogomphus. I enjoy the color of the palm frond in the background and it's a lovely display of gills. Chroogomphus is actually not a true gilled mushroom, instead it is in the same order as Boletes 130
Sarah DeLong-Duhon @sarahddl.bsky.social · 26/12/2024Can strictly mycorrhizal fungi grow on wood? Yes they can! Well, wood that is basically dirt already, anyway. Here's an example of several fungi from 2019 (red Russulas Cortinarius iodes/iodeoides) growing directly on very decayed wood. #mycology 020
Sarah DeLong-Duhon @sarahddl.bsky.social · 25/12/2024I think this is Amanita section Phalloideae, from Florida around this time in 2019. These are the sort of pictures you should take if you want to identify an Amanita! 000
Sarah DeLong-Duhon @sarahddl.bsky.social · 25/12/2024Spending time on a shot I know is going to be good is hard for me (especially when I have people waiting on me who just want to hike). Here's some little inky caps from 2019 that's been sitting in my hard drive 😬 000
Sarah DeLong-Duhon @sarahddl.bsky.social · 24/12/2024I found the coolest leaf yesterday! Beats me what made the holes, I'm assuming an insect, but do tell if you have any ideas 🌿 👀 It just occurred to me that this heavily features, whaddya know, a Blue Sky 😂 #nature 010
Sarah DeLong-Duhon @sarahddl.bsky.social · 07/12/2024Hi Blue sky ppl! Here's my favorite photo from 2024, Mycena cf. crocea from Macbride Nature Recreation Area, Iowa. They only grow out of walnuts! The lighting is just a random ass ray of sun that happened to be on that exact spot (it's how I spotted them!) 030
