I first started dipping into naturalism at one of my lows, back when we were launching a birdspotting app and I wanted to help test it. I got into it immediately and combined with my daily mental health walks it really made me dive back into nature, and appreciate how healing it was to see life's good parts.
As I was already enjoying learning all kinds of stuff about fungi, I started collecting/identifying those I found in the wild as well. Because I'm not an expert I just like to catalog what I find but I don't always know their names and don't want help okay! It's for the fun of learning and exploring.
Eventually I started adding my origamis, plushies, and anything remotely animal to this page and it became one giant ode to nature's million follies.
Probably one of nature’s most adorable creation, and a constant reminder of how creepy hares are in comparison. To think people eat these things gladly, but that's just the tip anyway.
The fancy cousins of the crow family, I love to see their various tuxxes. remember your promise
Really beautiful arrangement like giant petals flowering off the wood
The first of my comfort plushies, gotten in a kids section at Hema. This one is really really for kids but its so soft and cute and small, and more importantly so lively!! With its little arms I love making it react and do expressions and stuff to cheer me up. It was my first travel emotional support plushie
What to even say? They domesticated themselves and we’re lucky they were too lazy to go any further in their conquest. They’ve been here to help me get through my life at every step and I’ve tried to repay back their love tenfold ❤️
They have very varied personalities, mostly weird and sometimes assholes but I really dig them which is why i’m a catgirl :p
Super fun how it gradually splits from itself like it’s building new floors in a building
Fomitopsis pinicola?
Like bubbles that slowly grow off the wood only to become wood solid themselves. People love to break these off but the inside even feels wooden with splinters and stuff, really a weird cool one!
As I grew up with Shepards in the family I was accustomed to sheep and goats really early on and always had a soft spot for them, especially as one of my first plushies as an adult was a small lil angry sheep
Love the irregular shape of the cap although not sure if it’s the species or environment around
Beautiful bird and colors, for a second you’d forget how powerful their drill must be but it’s captivating to watch them work
A rare sight for me but unmistakable with its signature wing pattern, really a striking bird
A beautiful Shiba that loves to hug
The first “adult” plushie I got, it was looking at me cutely from a stash near the cash register, and it became the first of a neverending series of cuties that helped me stay in touch with my inner child. Of course now it’s all gross but it’s still one of the most important ones.
Mossy wet decaying little clams
Cute little puddle on top like a nice mushroom jacuzzi! Actually makes you puke tho 🤮
Weird smooth flashy secretions on the wood, almost looks like meringue! Definitely doesn’t taste like it tho 😅
Shitloads of these all around, animals love to grab bites off them
At work we had a small competition for the birdspotting app, and the winners got lil bird plushies which I found absolutely ADORABLE but I lost 😭 so I seethed in envy for months until finally I ordered one for myself to celebrate all my progress in bird photography, and to help me emotionally since he’s been quite a great emotional support in the end with its fluffy round belly to hug
Beautiful shapes and gradients like the waves of an angry sea crashing
An emotional support plushie that carried me through many horrible times, with the perfect spot to cry in between its fluffly ears. I still take it with me on some trips when I really need a comfort hug away from home.
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 🐾
Useful little shelves for mice and such
All fuzzy and spikey.. maybe not good? Pretty tho!
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
A beautiful white and blue squirrel ready for winter
Looks like chicken of the wood but was too broken down already for me to be sure
