Floral Fumo Friday of the Week: Wood Decay Fungi

AS A DISCLAIMER DON'T EAT RANDOM MUSHROOMS FROM THE WILD WITHOUT EXPERIENCE!!

I wanted to post this for Mushroom Day, but it took me forever to find mushrooms.

Yuuka tries to look for more ways to change her "nature" as a youkai. She ponders and walks along a tree branch, but then encounters Marisa Kirisame. She asks Marisa what humans find about plants that are scary, but Marisa tells her that she's "in her way." Marisa engages in a danmaku battle with Yuuka, and defeats her quite easily, albeit too easily. She questions on why Yuuka has downgraded from final boss to just a simple midboss. Yuuka explains once more that she is trying to change her "nature" and wants to become a youkai of flowers.

Marisa tells her that nobody finds flowers as scary, she points to the mushrooms feeding on dead tree branches. "Flowers don't really bloom during fall or winter, and no human finds flowers to be scary. If you want to change your nature, then why not become a youkai of mushrooms? They live in caves, like you! And these ones feed on the corpses of plants, that's something people find scary," Marisa said. Yuuka insists that mushrooms are still something associated with darkness, and that there must be something that humans find frightening about flowers.

Marisa questions her, "If you're a youkai of darkness, then why are your attacks based on light? You could even transform into a ball of light, too you know." Yuuka explains that she was manifested from human fears of the illusion of "light" inside a dark cave. Yuuka tells her that she has been that way for so long, that she has become bored of doing so. Marisa tells her that it's fall, almost winter, and there aren't really any flowers that bloom right now. She tries to convince Yuuka that maybe she might find fears by being a youkai of all florals. Yuuka thinks about it more, and flies off very slowly.

She still thinks about humans not finding flowers and plants to be scary and frightening. She sees the Sun burning her skin, and becomes saddened that she hasn't changed, she still cannot bask in the Sun like plants, and finds shade under trees whose leaves are falling apart. She takes note to bring a parasol next time.

Humans used to think of fungi and multicellular protists as plants long ago, but even those of Gensokyo can differentiate between plants, protists, and fungi. They are however, all still called "flora" to this day. END OF STORY Afterward: I believe, the mushrooms shown are young forms of stereum. There are many species of them, and some are debatably separated into their own species. They are all under an umbrella term called Wood Decay Fungi, which are scavengers of trees. All stereums are poisonous to humans. Most Wood Decay Fungi attack plants when they are alive and act as a pathogen to them, and a pest to gardeners. Some Wood Decay Fungi are terminal to the plant and eventually lead to the death of the plant.

This link below is one of many Wood Decay Fungi.

Although, Wood Decay Fungi prey on trees, it is not without reason. These plant pathogens are just as important as trees in the laws of nature. They revert them to fertile soils with lots of nutrition so more plants can grow in the future.

Man, this Touhou fest was very fun. I will come back to this place and capture some good memories from there some days.

And yes. I did this festival myself. Good or not, I don’t know. It’s goofy.

Floral Fumo Double Feature of the Week Halloween Edition (There are two parts the next is tomorrow): Norway Maple (Acer platanoides)

Tonight is Halloween, which is a mashup name for Hallow's Eve, but its also on a Thursday which is not a Friday but the day before Friday. Technically, Halloween, Oct 31st is the eve while Nov 1st is the actual day. Nonetheless, both are celebrated equally as connected holidays together. So this week will have two posts. Click here for Part 2

Yuuka herself has already found herself in a place that clearly wasn't Gensokyo. She knew it to be the Outside World, but didn't understand why she is here or why she is able to live when outsiders no longer believed nor feared in youkai like her. She has however seen plenty of other youkai with baskets, but no humans were to be found. Have youkai and vengeful ghosts won their grudges against humanity and surpassed its existence?

It didn't matter to her though. Even if all there were was youkai in the world, Yuuka would always find ways to prank anyone, it's her way of living.

This is the Norway Maple (Acer platanoides). Fitting for its stage name, its native to Norway, but it is also native to a good chunk of the rest of Europe and its range even extending to Central Asia. They are noted in the Fall by their brightly yellow and large leaves. This tree continues to live on, even through the hottest hots and the coldest colds, through air pollution to even growing in partial sunlight.

Unfortunately, because the tree is able to live in harsh conditions, it has become invasive to North America where it competes for terrain with other maples that are native. Once it has grown old enough, it becomes a very hard task to get rid of through its strong sturdy roots and keeps living through improper removal.

Unlike native North American maples, the tree's sap doesn't yield sap worthy of making with maple syrup, and it is much more difficult to work with when maple syrup making. The maple tree most associated with maple syrup is the Sugar Maple(Acer saccharum) which is not pictured and has a far higher harvest yield than the Norway Maple.
