Coral and Finger Mushrooms

Don't have a lot of photos of these, but they're neat. Photos mine, unedited.

Artomyces pyxidatus, the crown-tipped coral mushroom, is edible and a neat texture in soup.

Clavaria fragilis, fairy fingers, are also edible but I didn't know what it was at the time of the photos and so haven't used them yet.

Clavaria zollingeri, violet coral, is edible as well, but I didn't know what this was at the time either and haven't seen it since.

Xylaria polymorpha, dead man's fingers, are great in frittata! This is the stage you want them in. I really should photos of a full flush, but I always get excited when they come up and start picking. lol You can see the stumps of some I grabbed.

Word of caution: cook all wild edible mushrooms before eating. Even if they don't poison you immediately they can have longterm effects.

Word of ethics: leave a third of the young ones you find in the wild and only if there are a lot of them.

FOTD #012 : violet coral! (clavaria zollingeri)

violet (or magenta) coral is a coral fungus in the family clavariaceae. the fruit bodies can grow in solidarity, in clusters or in small groups on grassy spots. it occurs in australia, new zealand, north america, south america, & asia (including brunei, india, & korea) !! rare in europe.

the big question : can i bite it?? edible in small quantities !! large amounts can cause stomach issues.

c. zollingeri description :

"the coloring of the fruit bodies is quite variable, ranging from violet to amethyst, or violet shaded with brown or red. the colors may be variable over the fruit body; in one instance the outside branches were brown while the inner branches in the center of the bundle were light violet. dried specimens may lose their coloring almost entirely, as the pigments may be sensitive to light or dryness. the fruit body is typically 5 to 10 cm (2.0 to 3.9 in) tall & 4 to 7 cm (1.6 to 2.8 in) wide. the stem, or base, is short, & the branching starts a short distance above the ground. the surfaces of the fragile branches are smooth & dry; the branches are 2–6 thick, typically with rounded tips."

Clavaria zollingeri for day 2 of funguary!

[microtyalm13]

a little monster from an interactive thingy i did in my telegram channel... dont look at how he's leaning slightly to the left i couldnt fix it in time-

🍄🐯🎭: a clavaria zollingeri that has taken possession of an old theatrical doll. or at least what's left of it - a head with two changeable faces. he can move each branch perfectly. moves silently. when his mask changes to a sad one, he prefers to hide his face completely. the branches can also regenerate. severed parts lose their hue completely before decomposing.

he's a hive mind creature, which is why his voice can come from several places at once. the smooth, dry branches are his eyes, hands, ears, and nose. they are all sensitive ofc, so the intimacies with him are quite... interesting. for both parties. <)

Clavaria zollingeri

Day 2's prompt for #funguary2024 is "Lilac Coral Fungus" (Clavaria zollingeri). It can be be found on different continents, though it's more commonly in North America.

My characters for this prompt are conjoined sisters "Ly" and "Laq." They specialize in martial arts and classify as something between a monk and paladin. Towering over the rest of their teammates, they are happy to deal most of the meele damage on the battlefield, using their strength and staves of holy light to tank through most fights. While they both share a serious nature and intense connection to their spirituality and training, Ly tends to be more socially engaging while Laq tends to prefer quiet observation. They genuinely get along and work together in unison, blending their similarities and differences to become an absolute powerhouse of controlled force.

But don't let their intimidating stature, skill, and personalities stop you from getting to know them. They are fiercely protective of those they care about and are not afraid to relax around those who have earned their trust.
