Thought it was some weird flesh blob only to find out theres full consensus it looks like disgusting ears 👂
Nature
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.

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

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!

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

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

Looks like some demonic spawn left to rot in the sun. Most likely the decomposed leftovers of some bracket fungi?

Weird smooth flashy secretions on the wood, almost looks like meringue! Definitely doesn’t taste like it tho 😅

Still unsure this one is even fungus?? Could be the remains of fire extinguishing foam or something
