Good morning! What was nice yesterday, what made you happy? It's the little things that count. #TheLittleThings

Here: Crucibulum laeve, also breadbasket mushroom or bird's nest #fungus. The spore packets are shot out by water droplets and can reach speeds of around 20 km/h. They have a "lasso" with them to hold on to plants. This positions them for herbivores, via whose droppings they are spread. #Biodiversity #FungiFriday

A giant puffball, Langermannia gigantea (note the €2 coin for scale).

In Tyrol (are generally very rare here).

In November (normal: [early] summer).

Oh well. I now have half a kg of mushroom Schnitzel 😋

What does a mycologist do on a Friday evening? Playing a mushroom themed family board game with the kid. However, things escalated when I hit the penalty for kicking fungi the second time (you need to start all over again) and my kid would not accept my scientific credentials...needless to say: I lost. Actually I was defeated.
