there are cathedrals everywhere for those with eyes to see (slime molds are incredible, you should learn more about them)

Who in crypto is still working on creating genuinely currency-like things? Feels like most of the space gave up on the project a long time ago, and we're now firmly in the meta of tokenizing already existing things.

be me find interesting looking moth look it up has a cool name distribution is Holarctic wtf does Holarctic mean? look it up on Wikipedia "Holarctic realm" is a bioregion that covers almost but not quite all of the northern hemisphere pic related, it's the moth (Argent and Sable)

A stump covered with pinewood gingertail mushrooms

Bit overdue, but I've joined the @angstromxyz team. I've been excited about MEV recapture for a long time now, and we're building cool stuff over here! $1B in total volume is just the beginning; more coming soon 👀

unfortunately I found this candlestick fungus during the day far from home. they glow in the dark, hence the name. still a cool find though

normally I deemphasize the urban nature of many of my mushroom finds, but with this one it's kinda the whole appeal

I found a Reishi mushroom in the wild. This is one of the mushrooms contained in (some) mushroom teas -- there are lots of people out there consuming powdered *something* and trusting that someone grew or foraged these, dried them out, and ground them down

Amanita muscaria remains perhaps the most recognizable mushroom in the world. I met a couple gentleman staring at this bad boy which was growing next to the sidewalk. The cap was ~6 inches in diameter, so definitely on the larger side

'In the Canadian wheat district, for example, where to this day good land can be obtained free by everyone' This is from just ~100 years ago (written in 1916). The idea of unclaimed, free land seems nuts to me now. Is there anywhere left on earth like this? Parts of the Sahara?

this is not a potato with a smaller, darker potato balanced on top of it -- it is actually a rounded earthstar (a type of mushroom), and when you touch it, spores shoot out of the top in a tiny puff of magic gray smoke. nature is weird, man

with the trial of the Low Carb Crusader ongoing, it's time to post this meme once again

So is everything just bottom-tier dropshipping now? My recent experience trying to buy furniture: - chain stores all carry the same crap, sold at radically varying prices - Amazon, Wayfair, etc are full of literally AI-generated images, no way to know what you'll end up getting

old manchild yells at the cloud

Probably my best shot to date -- an unknown variety of cup fungus with an ink cap melting right behind it, found in a front yard
