Ever seen a monarch pupate? Our adopted caterpillar, Sylvester, just did it and we took a time lapse! Real time ~9min

So today, we celebrate Alden and Grinnell, the two falcon dads who made this breeding season possible! Happy Father's Day, Alden and Grinnell! We hope you're grilling up some nice pigeon wings for the family today, Alden.

@EricHastie @peiferlabunc Hmm, still not so sure, I was hoping they had stalks, but I can't really see stalks in these photos. I'm stumped!

[Molly Brothers @moelizbro]

@sarahsgonewild Some kind of coprinellus?

[Molly Brothers @moelizbro]

@EricHastie @peiferlabunc I follow a lot of fungus/slime mold people on Instagram and just by chance a photo came up that made me think of your lil buds, which I now think are NOT stemonitis but stemonitopsis! Shoulda trusted my gut they weren't quite right. Do you remember what they looked like up close?

@frogsicles Daisy, aka lil d, beeb, bb, flip-flop, lil creep, and others I can't even think of right now that I make up on the spot

@peiferlabunc @DNAielleSpitzer @EricHastie @HansClevers If that's a door, the size looks right. And it looks like it's on "stilts" (I don't actually know the appropriate term!). Also a different color than I'm used to but at the very least...def a slime mold

@DNAielleSpitzer @EricHastie @peiferlabunc 👀 at it again I think @DNAielleSpitzer is right: chocolate tube slime (Stemonitis). I'm used to seeing stiffer fruiting bodies and more vibrant colors! Some fun pics I took at different stages of growth. They start yellow. As they mature they turn brown and then dry up to black.

[Molly Brothers @moelizbro]

@DNAielleSpitzer @EricHastie @peiferlabunc It's too bendy!

[Molly Brothers @moelizbro]

@Mezarque This is the part that broke me, ask @DNAielleSpitzer

[United Farm Workers @UFWupdates]

As you are shopping, prepping and preparing your Thanksgiving meals, we'd like you to know a little more about the work behind every ingredient and the people doing that work.

Here's a thread for everyone who wants to thank a farm worker this week. #WeFeedYou
