A few more Morrowind sketches with wax pastels. I may have unlocked a new potential favourite medium. 😄 Don’t think it can beat gouache and coloured pencil but dang, it’s fun! The Neocolor II ones in particular are wonderful since they’re water-soluble so you can achieve a great variety of effects. #MastoArt #TraditionalArt #FantasyArt #Drawing #Mushtodon

A mushroom grotto tucked away inside a geode for Week 4 of the challenge I co-host on ig. ✨ This didn’t quite turn out how I had imagined it and I think I overworked some parts but I am glad I managed to get the idea on paper and I might create another version at some point because I do love the concept. :) Process pictures and commentary are available on my Patreon: https://patreon.com/lindenshieldarts #TraditionalArt #FantasyArt #Painting #Mushtodon #Mosstodon #Gouache #MixedMedia

Mushroom angel! :ablobcatangel: This beautiful little mushroom (Russula sp.) was already broken off when we found it, but the way it broke gave it (I think) a rather angelic appearance: #MushroomMonday #mushroom #fungi #Russula #Mushtodon #sporespondence

Russulas are a genus of fungi that comes in cool colors. ID characteristics include:

  1. Usually 2-4 inches high with a circular cap that’s one color. In this case, purple.

  2. Most have white/cream gills. Stems are usually white, perhaps with a flush of color similar to the cap.

3/4. The color of many can be peeled to expose white flesh. I’ve been to craft fairs where artists have made dyes from them.

IDing down to the species is much more difficult. 🔬

Laetiporus cincinnatus https://www.mushroomexpert.com/Laetiporus_cincinnatus.html Ecology: Parasitic and saprobic on living and dead oaks; causing a brown rot of the butt and roots; growing alone or gregariously at the bases of oaks or on the ground nearby; late spring through fall; fairly widely distributed from the Great Plains eastward. The illustrated and described collections are from Illinois. Fruiting Body: Up to 45 cm across; usually consisting of several to many caps in a rosette but very rarely consisting of a shelving array near the base of the tree. Caps: 4-20 cm across; 6-20 cm deep; up to 2 cm thick; fan-shaped to semicircular, kidney-shaped, or irregularly lobed; smooth to wrinkled; finely suedelike; pale to bright pinkish orange, often with vague concentric bands of alternating shades of color; frequently fading in maturity and with direct sunlight; the margin often whitish. Pore Surface: Whitish; not bruising; with 2-3 circular to angular pores per mm; tubes to 5 mm deep. Stem: Usually absent; when present poorly defined, whitish, tough, more or less central. Flesh: Thick; soft and watery when young, becoming chalky and eventually crumbling easily; white; not changing when sliced. Dried Specimens: Cap surface and pore surface become dull pinkish orange to dull brownish orange and retain these shades for at least 20 years in the herbarium; they can often be distinguished from herbarium specimens of Laetiporus sulphureus, which are yellow to yellow-orange. Odor and Taste: Not distinctive. Chemical Reactions: KOH negative on cap surface and flesh. Spore Print: White. Microscopic Features: Spores 4-6 x 3-4 m; broadly ellipsoid; smooth; hyaline in KOH; inamyloid. Hymenial cystidia not found. Contextual hyphal system dimitic. Contextual binding hyphae 5-15 m wide; often branching; aseptate; smooth; walls 1-1.5 m thick; hyaline in KOH. Hymenial trama generative hyphae 4-7 m wide; tubular and unbranched; usually parallel; septate; smooth; thin-walled; hyaline in KOH. Clamp connections not found. #mushrooms #fungi #mycology #shrooms #mushtodon #sporespondence #floraspondence

I went for a lovely walk in my favorite park today. The sky was kind of hazy. I thought it was just cloudy. But this afternoon I took a deep breath and started coughing. Checked the air quality and realized maybe it wasn't the best day for being outside. Oh well, I saw some awesome mushrooms. #MushroomMonday #mushtodon #sporespondence
