When a black-and-white print is as strong as the cotton fabric used on these chairs, little other pattern is needed to make a room snap together. The overall effect is clean, crisp, and dramatic.

Prairie Trillium
Trillium recurvatum
These unique, dark trillium plants caught our eye while we were exploring woods in Jersey County, Illinois. This species usually has splotchy green leaves. dailybotany suggested these trillium plants may have upped their anthocyanin production in response to exposure to higher levels of solar radiation. There were a few of these trilliums with dark leaves in the general area, and it may have been a sunnier than usual spot in the understory of the forest there, so this theory makes sense. I still wonder if it's possible this small population carries a genetic mutation... I have explored many woods and never seen trilliums this dark. I love listening to different theories and learning new info.
Trillium recurvatum is native to much of the Mississippi River basin in the central / eastern United States. Eastern Ohio has a few populations, which are listed as potentially threatened by their DNR. There are also a couple isolated populations in North Carolina, but it's debated whether or not they were actually planted long ago. Its closest lookalike with overlapping range is trillium sessile; however, the sepals on s. recurvatum plants curve downward as the flower opens, and the stem is usually much shorter than on t. sessile. This species can grow in habitats ranging from floodplains, to mesic forests and mesic savannas. Often, they're found growing in calcareous soils or over calcium-rich rocks such as limestone.

you are my new favourite tumblr person
a cruel question: what's your favourite fungus? or your top 2.2 to 3.8 million favourite species...
Aw, thanks, fellow tumblr person!
A cruel question indeed. I appreciate the alternative option for listening several million. 😆 But I think I can manage with three. No, four. No, two. I'll do two.
1. Black Trumpet (Craterellus fallax)
The first edible mushroom I ever foraged with a delightful goth aesthetic. It's pretty hard to mistake this mushroom for something else, but I was still terrified to eat it. First time round, anyway.
2. Old Man of the Woods (Strobilomyces strobilaceus... Or "floccopus" depending on who you ask, I think both are great)
Such a friendly shroom, and I'm always so happy to see it. And also boop it because it is very soft and boopable. It's like if a Newfoundland were a mushroom.
Thanks for asking!
