OCTOBER MUSIC ROUNDUP

I was, perhaps, a little distracted with hunting for fungi as of late, so I've only picked out a few tracks from last month's releases:

@pokeythepenguin HOORAY FOR POKEY

[Séamus Malekafzali @Seamus_Malek]

"They shot down their own F-18?"

"Yes sir."

"Do the Houthis have F-18s?"

"No sir, the Houthis have a F-5, but it's unclear if it's combat ready."

"So then what did they think it was?"

"Not sure, could have been a drone."

"Okay. Do their drones look like F-18s?"

"No sir."

@seifely Lots ls like Jellyspot (Dacrymyces) species - not poisonous at all, but I wouldn't recommend eating it for exactly the same reasons I wouldn't recommend licking the fence post it's growing from 🙂

Never not posting my favourites when I find them. Beautiful reticulation and guttation on these Wrinkled Peach (Rhodotus palmatus) at Overhall Grove Nature Reserve.

@The_euphemism My personal most-used book is the Collins Fungi Guide by Stefan Buczacki - a lot more comprehensive and great for identification once you know what you're looking for, but I do think some of the illustrations can be misleading without cross-referencing with other sources.

And another one off the list - Magpie Inkcaps (Coprinopsis picacea) at a damp and squelchy Warboys and Wistow Woods this morning.

@The_euphemism I don't own this book, but I'd probably suggest ‘Mushrooms’ by Patrick Harding (Collins Gem) as a first book - covers a lot of the common species, is small enough to be comfortable to carry around while out and about, and is pretty cheap to boot.

...and some with vivid colours: Scarlet Caterpillarclub (Cordyceps militaris), Magenta Rustgill (Gymnopilus dilepis), and Primrose Brittlegill (Russula sardonia).

Went out today in the hopes of seeing some Yellow Fan fungi (Spathularia flavida). Sadly the lawnmowers beat me to the punch so only a few, beat-up specimens about. Still, it's nice to tick another relatively rare fungus off my list.

Of course, I saw some other species too...

[🍄 A Rare Mattipus 🍄 @Mattipus]

...some with remarkable textures: Wood Woollyfoot (Collybiopsis peronata), Hare'sfoot Inkcap (Coprinopsis lagopus), and Spiny Puffball (Lycoperdon echinatum)...

people who post pictures of toadstool-shaped mushrooms 🍄 in mushroom ID forums asking "is this a chanterelle?" will be my villain origin story

@seifely I knowww... even the Latin turpis translates as "ugly, unsightly; foul, filthy"

Josh insisted that I call it Froggy Milkcap instead so that's what it will be from now on. 🐸

[🍄 A Rare Mattipus 🍄 @Mattipus]

A multitude of different species over at RSPB Sherwood Forest today. First up, some Milkcaps - Oakbug (Lactarius quietus), Birch (L. tabidus), Wooly (L. tormimosus), and Ugly (L. turpis).
