Me and my boyfriend discovered this wild specimen completely on accident under some shrubs, in a very populated city park btw. I thought the rarer looking mushrooms only spawn in remote wooded areas. It's so beautiful I just wanna be a fairy living in that mushroom ðĪ! Because it's so outlandish looking we could figure out what it's called pretty fast. Its a basket stinkhorn and it only stays this beautiful for about a day though! It had shrivelled up next morning when we came back to check on the area, but so many more of the same species had sprouted in its place in just a night.
So you never know what could spawn after it rains in your local park, get your camera/phone, go get your steps in, fill your lungs with after-rain air and be known as the bog hag that inspects dead wood, shrubs and foliage.
Happy hunting!

walking in the woods, looking at the forest floor. bring a pal and marvel at the joy when you spot a patch. i like morels and chanterelles. even if you don't find any, you still got a nice moment in nature. morels look like little brains.

Made the horns out of a cardboard frame, filled with aluminium foil, and wrapped in black duct tape, easy recipe for a last moment DIY prop for a Halloween party. I keep thinking about how I had to throw them away when I was moving out of my student dorm, since I didn't have any room in my briefcase ð

Let me post GIFs or short videos and I ð―ðđðēðąðīðē ðšð ðēðŪðŋððĩðđð ððžððđ to spreading he gospel of PI.FYI far and wide ð . I know that incorporating moving images into an emerging site is tough and probably not at the top of the list of priorities, but it would be so cool to have the option to post animated stuff in the future, even if it's just videos under 10 seconds or looping GIFs ð !
