Lžičkovec šiškový (Auriscalpium vulgare) je pro poučenější houbomilce v podstatě „plevel“, který lze nalézt hojně a takřka celoročně na borových šiškách zanořených v substrátu. Pravdou zůstává, že jde o (v makro pohledu) vizuálně velmi atraktivní hubku, a to zejména díky ostnitému hymenoforu. Tahle dvojička se mně „připletla“ před objektiv před pár dny při focení slizáků lepkavých… #Houboosvěta #houby #mushroom

We’ve admitted 27 hedgehogs in the last 72hours, with over 90 now on site! Please bear with us if replies to messages and patient update requests are a little slower than usual. Our small team is juggling everything, and our priority is the hedgehogs on site 🫶

I can never resist posting the rare and unusual Hazel Gloves Fungus (Hypocreopsis rhododendri) when I see it. This was in a fragment of South Wales temperate rainforest. 27/10/26 #fungi

Good morning 🍄 This is one of the most bizarre mushrooms on the planet!! It’s called The Devil’s Cigar or Chorioactis geaster. Its only found in two very distinct places on earth, 16 counties in central and northern Texas, and in 2 locales in Japan and Taiwan. Another thing that makes these guys so unique is when they’re ready to sporulate they open up and make a hissing/whistling sound while forcibly discharging its spores. A 2004 study determined these mushrooms diverged over 19 million years ago. Yet the species only exists in two places over 11,000 kilometers apart 🫪

These Bilberries (Vaccinium myrtillus) clearly don’t know what month it is, or don’t read ‘the books’. Flowers April-June. 🤔 Surrey pine woodland, this week. #WildflowerHour @wildflower_hour

Please don't leave Halloween pumpkins to rot in your garden, or dump them in the countryside. Eating pumpkins can make hedgehogs, birds and other animals poorly. Instead, dispose of pumpkins in a covered compost bin or council food waste bin. More: littlegreenspace.org.uk/feat…
