In happy news, moss is neat to look at.

I had a lovely walk yesterday.

What is this? This is awful.

It's the most sterile, unemphatic, "Here's why the Stanford Prison experiment was actually a good idea" piece of text I've read in a long time. 1975 was when it was published and hooboy it fits the tone of the era in education.

There's a Nancy Drew game my partner is playing through. In it there's a mention of Kansas' "Speak No Evil" Mime Competition. In an attempt to see how made up it was, (very made up)

..

I came across this.

A grotesque-feeling document on classroom discipline which I can only describe as uncomfortably "thought-crime-centric" in a bioshock vein.

Rewards for good behavior include being entered in a "Pickle Jar Lottery".

I can't suffer this document alone.

I have never noticed a mushroom like this before. My best guess is that it's horse hoof fungus,

but I couldn't get a close look without trouncing through poison ivy. If, one day, I see another mushroom like this I'm sure I'll either plan ahead and wear pants, or just suffer the consequences of curiosity.

Whatever this was, I missed it when it was thriving. It's probably more shelf mushrooms.

But the dried cluster looked so at home against the tree.

I'm guessing this is Trametes versicolor again, (or at least that it's the same species) due to it's proximity to the last bunch of mushrooms, and how it was growing. Regardless, it was nice to see it sitting on the ground just chilling and making it's home there. It's also fun seeing how different it can look when the fruiting body is able to grow so much more.

Maybe a Trametes versicolor?

They were so thin and fragile looking as they climbed the tree.

fuck this.

Here's pictures of mushrooms making value of dead or dying ~~systems~~ logs

Here is a cluster of chicken of the woods at the base of a tree.

This is the only mushroom in this set I'm confident about the ID of, the rest are just pretty and that is sorely needed by me right now. If you can ID them for me that'd be awesome too, but otherwise I'll take a guess at what they are.
