Hitched a ride on my backpack somewhere on a 14 mile walk from Wadhurst to Etchingham.

Good morning fellow Mastos and hello to bank holiday Monday, if you are South of the border. I wonder why banks traditionally needed so many holidays? Especially as traditionally, they were never open outside if normal working hours, so you couldn't get to one!
Anyway, have a grand Monday, have fun. Take care.
Today's #Fungus photo is from September 2021 from Otley.
TIL of “Chicago disease” #blastomycosis a fungal infection people and pets inhale from dirt, dead leaves or decaying wood. Of course I read this after digging in my garden moving around old cedar mulch. Lol
Looks like #respirators for gardening are a good idea for me, for pollen and #fungus.

Reading up on trees and how they use underground microrrhizal networks in the forest to communicate and transmit resources to each other. When one tree is in distress the surrounding trees send nutrients and defensive substances to help it recover. It’s not a sacrifice or loss of freedom: they know they need each other to survive droughts and insect infestations and that a sophisticated system of mutual aid is how to make that happen.
Makes you think, doesn’t it?
Prototaxites represents the first giant organisms to live on the terrestrial surface, reaching sizes of 8 metres in the Early Devonian.
It was an extinct lineage of #multicellular terrestrial #eukaryotes.
Assignments to groups of multicellular algae or land plants have been repeatedly ruled out leaving two major alternatives: #Prototaxites was either a #fungus or a now entirely extinct lineage.
The latter hypothesis seems more plausible based on nrw evidence.

silence as the alga in lichen

Mushroom lamp commission finished! Now I just have to bring it to the new owner. It features an USB cable with a switch and that works in every country worldwide. I really like how it turned out <3
