ICE and CBP’s Face-Recognition App Can’t Actually Verify Who People Are
Okay funghi friends, are these oyster mushrooms, do you think?
They are growing from an old stump which is buried underground now.
We have finally had some rain and these have appeared.
I might have left some from last year over this spot so the spores could fall there. But are these good to eat I wonder?

Happy Monday all!
I'm not too sure what to think of this little fellow. If it's a tree hopper, is that bad news? I was careful not to harm it, but maybe it's aiming to destroy my trees?
If it's not a hopper, what is it? My first search on INaturalist came up with it being a plant bug (or something equally vague). Well duh...
The next search thinks it's a tree hopper.
So here's a #MondayMystery for the bug people among us. #IDplease
And thank you!
Any of y'all entomologists want to reassure me this spider is harmless? Since I don't know the fauna of this area, I have no idea.
Location: a kitchen in Tirana, #Albania
Size, a bit under 1 cm, I think. Photo taken with 10x magnification loupe on an iPhone lens.
Some sort of small pink flower with five petals. The entire plant is about the size of my hand and low to the ground. The flower itself is about the size of my pinky nail.
What is it?

So far the only things close enough or slow enough for me to get photos of in #Albania are pest species or species that survive or even thrive in human-disturbed environments.
I'm not sure whether this is a flying ant or a termite.. Totally out of my depth on insect ID.
