The former is incredible for de-noising. The latter has quite the learning curve and it's gonna take a while before I build a decent workflow >_< So please consider this pic an experiment.

Finding a home for the wandering mushrooms—phylogenetic and taxonomic updates of Agaricales

Many edible, medicinal, and poisonous mushrooms that we are familiar with belong to the order Agaricales, which is a group of fungi with important economic and ecological value. Understanding the phylogenetic relationships of Agaricales can help us to know their evolutionary history and diversity, as well as their interactions with other organisms.

Fungus from Arrakis: New species named after Dune's giant worms

A new species of stalked puffball, a gasteroid fungus, has been named after the "Shai-Hulud" sandworms of Frank Herbert's iconic science fiction novel series "Dune."

I was overjoyed to find these bird's nest fungi in the meadow just down the trail. I think they are _Crucibulum laeve_!

Another NOID gilled #Mushroom (#Agaricales), this one growing out of the "ground" beneath hemlocks (which could be covering a long-fallen log).
