[hagofbolding]

In the fall in the Pacific Northwest, you might find this very tiny dragon jealously guarding its hoard of fungus in the old growth forests

My biggest risograph to date, 11 x 17"! The colors almost hurt to look at irl :') I love this medium

FOTD #127 : white coral! (ramariopsis kunzei)

white coral (a very aptly named fungus, haha) is a mycorrhizal or saprobic fungus in the family clavariaceae. it is quite widespread, & have been recorded in north america, europe, asia & australia :-) it often grows in duff or well-decayed wood !!

the big question : can i bite it?? sure - it is edible !! though, it's mostly "fleshless & flavourless"..

r. kunzei description :

"the fruit bodies of ramariopsis kunzei are white to whitish-yellow in colour, & are highly branched structures resembling coral ; the dimensions are typically up to 8 cm (3.1 in) tall & 6 cm (2.4 in) wide. older specimens may have a pinkish tinge. the tips of the branches are blunt ; branches are between 1 & 5 millimetres thick. the branch tips of mature specimens may be yellow. a stem, if present, may be up to 1 cm (0.4 in) long & scurfy—covered with small flakes or scales."

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.
