In this month’s Patreon stream I painted two fun fictional botanicals. ✨🌿

Je ne vous ai pas montré la version finale de La fille du Vodianoï, qui hante les rivières à l'affût de promeneurs imprudents 👀

Cette aquarelle est disponible dans la boutique en ligne, déjà installée dans son passe-partout noir. 👌

The forest has its own internet. 🍄💻

Bioluminescent mushrooms aren't just a glow-in-the-dark miracle; they are part of a massive mycelium network that connects every tree in the forest. Nature’s hidden light show is actually a complex system of communication and recycling. 🌲✨

With more scientists and artists turning their attention to #bioluminescence, new information about glowing #fungi is coming to light https://www.biographic.com/glowing-from-within/

Is the bioluminescence in many #Mycena species overlooked? By Renate Heinzelmann et al. https://doi.org/10.47371/mycosci.2024.03.001

"Mycena crocata is one of 125 or so species of fungi known to produce their own light. That they luminesce was only discovered recently... even wood interlaced with strands of fungi radiates green light"

✨ When fireflies pulse as one, nature writes chemistry in light.

Over 2,000 species transform summer nights through bioluminescent signals. Their cold light emerges as luciferin meets oxygen, catalyzed by luciferase. Group flashing can turn riverbanks and mountains into living constellations patterned by ancient rhythms.
