I assisted @GetRugged with research to determine whether participants perceived a stay in a naturally built home to have a positive effect on their mental health & wellbeing . https://t.co/zMtBKnIXlX #biophilia#biophilic design #natural homes
It’s not every day you get to see Violet Coral or a Pink Waxcap but to see them together that’s something else! 💕💜 Huge thanks to @thenewgalaxy for showing me around some incredible Waxcap sites today! #fungi
Turns out this is The scarlet berry truffle - Paurocotylis pila. A New Zealand native, introduced to GB. Records are scarce across Scotland and we’ve found 4 in Kings Park Glasgow!! Associated with Yew trees, which this park has many. #fungi#mushroomtwitter#glasgow#nature
#fungifriday Found in grassland at Kirkby Lonsdale today.Violet coral fungus,golden spindles,crimson waxcap? I am unsure about this last one found in short grass. Could it be an earth tongue or dead man's fingers? Any help much appreciated.
Even though almost entirely emptied of diverse life, eerie upland wastes like this are hauntingly beautiful, in their own way.
But imagine what this would once have been like, and could be again, swathed in rich temperate rainforest.
Just remove the sheep, and it could return.
A parasitic worm has turned this snail into a "zombie" that mimics caterpillars to be eaten by a bird, where it can reproduce inside its GI tract.

Yesterday I’ve found another nest with octopus stinkhorns and many still unopened eggs 🐙🥚
A new thread with impressions of this wondrous and spectacular species 👇
