Love the irregular shape of the cap although not sure if it’s the species or environment around

One of those insects that strike fear from the legends around it more than from reality! What is funny is that while both the english and french (ear piercer) share an “ear” theme they do so for different reasons since their wings are ear-shaped. Regardless I remember being told as a kid they crawled into ears and pierced them with their rear-pincers which is more what the french name went for, and that scared me so much cause I was like shit I’m already supposed to be swallowing spiders now I’ll get a piercing in my sleep what the fuck?? Luckily these guys are innocent and really just cool looking in the end 😛

Super fun how it gradually splits from itself like it’s building new floors in a building

My family’s had two beautiful Golden Retrievers and both girls were the absolute gold standard when it comes to being the nicest and prettiest dogs in the world 🐾

It’s been a weird ride for me to slowly understand what is a dove, a pigeon, or a “fake” pigeon. In all this recalibrating it’s made me really appreciate how loving and goofy wood pigeons are, especially compared to their feral counterparts.

I really dig all their Pixar expressions, and since we’ve added birdfeeders to our windows we get regular visits throughout the day to appreciate them which I really love!

Or mossy trametes

Learned about these during a guided mushroom tour I’d got as a gift and it’s super fun to watch for these little steps going up the trees. I especially love how they become living architecture for other things to use

Really beautiful arrangement like giant petals flowering off the wood

Small little happy mushrooms that pop up at the foot of trees and sweat white, sometimes eaten here or there

Such kind and affectionate animals, the pain of what we do to them hurts every time you look them in their big mirror eyes. I had the occasion to hug some at a refuge and it was a lovely experience <3

Fomitopsis pinicola?
