This is really beautiful, interesting and important at the same time. SPUN: *A hidden infrastructure* ➡️ Underground networks "Beneath our feet lie networks of invisible ecosystem engineers: arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi. These fungi form trading relationships with more than 70% of plant species, building networks of tubular cells called hyphae that extend the surface area of root systems up to a hundred-fold. Collectively, these networks comprise one of Earth's circulatory systems." ➡️ 📖 https://a-hidden-infrastructure.spun.earth/story/a-hidden-infrastructure 🌐 https://a-hidden-infrastructure.spun.earth/story/mycorrhizal-infrastructure-map #biology #mycorrhizal #mycorrhizalFungi #fungi #SPUN #VrijeUniversiteitAmsterdam #VUamsterdam #science #cartography

💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🍄🌍 Scientists mapped arbuscular #mycorrhizal #fungi – the #underground fungal threads that connect #plant roots. Analyzing over 16,000 #soil cores from 322 studies, they found the network stretches 110 quadrillion(!) km in the topsoil, long enough to reach the #Sun nearly a billion times. #Grasslands and #prairies hold the densest networks, while #farming reduces fungal density by nearly half. 👉 https://www.sciencealert.com/hidden-web-of-fungus-inside-earth-could-reach-the-sun-a-billion-times #science #ecology #plants #carbon #map #nature #biology #climate #microscopy #research #study

I once wondered whether fungi are flora. I mostly found out that the term "flora" is outdated. #fungi #fungiFriday

"How hidden soil fungi ‘steal’ bacterial DNA to control the rain" maybe we can have natural chem trails now instead of silver iodide chem trails lol 🍄‍🟫 https://theconversation.com/how-hidden-soil-fungi-steal-bacterial-dna-to-control-the-rain-279618 #fungi #rain

How have I never noticed #FungiFriday before? Well, it's my inspiration for today's #inkyDays drawing. #ink #drawing #art #fungi #mushrooms #MastoArt

Playing with this combination of abstract plant and fungi structures for today's #inkyDays drawing. I liked it so much that I started one on watercolor paper. Here's an in-progress shot. I've added the rest to this month's posts for my supporters on Patreon and Ko-fi: https://www.patreon.com/posts/142613240 https://ko-fi.com/Post/InkyDays-November-2025-I3I01NRIJ6 #inky #drawing #art #fungi #GenerativeArt #ProceduralArt #wip

Baby penguins with giant mushrooms? Why not? And that's it for this month's daily #inkyDays drawings. I'll be starting new posts for next month's drawings, tomorrow. https://www.patreon.com/posts/142613240 https://ko-fi.com/Post/InkyDays-November-2025-I3I01NRIJ6 #ink #drawing #art #penguins #mushrooms #fungi #MastoArt

Playing with a pattern inspired by turkey-tail mushrooms for today's #inkyDays drawing. It's hard to tell, but I actually used three different inks for the lines. They look so similar on this paper, though. Oh well. Here's an in-progress shot. The finished drawing is now posted for my supporters on Patreon and Ko-fi: https://www.patreon.com/posts/144852315 https://ko-fi.com/Post/InkyDays-December-2025-K3K71PIKBK #ink #drawing #art #fungi #mushrooms #GenerativeArt #ProceduralArt #MastoArt

A tiny and super cute mushroom duo! Their caps glow strong and bright when switched on. These nice little shroomers fit in every shelf or corner and seek for a new home. For sale, only CHF 50.- Can ship to everywhere but USA. The duo is battery operated, everything is hidden under the wooden tree bark. Please like and re-toot, my little business is struggling ;_; #mushrooms #fungi #art #mastoart #mosstodon #Pilze #smallbusiness #forest #moss #nature

Beautiful & unique Nature

@divergence001@mindly.social · Mar 07, 2026

Cyptotrama asprata, commonly known as the golden-scruffy collybia or spiny woodknight, is a species of mushroom found worldwide. Known for its fuzzy, almost alien appearance, when young, the cap is covered in dense, stiff tufts of fibrils that look like small, sharp spikes which wash off when it matures. It is found worldwide but absent in Europe and Northwestern North America. #weird #fungi #mushrooms #nature

Trametes versicolour, aka. Turkey Tail Fungus growing on a log near Pennington Flash, Leigh, Greater Manchester. Lots of this growing on logs in my garden too! #fungi
