Hiiiii!

I took this picture at my parents house in early May. I was wondering if you know what kind of fungi these are? I haven’t seen this in my area before but I have been noticing more and new things popping up in my local nature lately. Thank you for your wonderful blog. It is a great thing to look forward to on my feed :)

hii !!

very crazy coincidence, this fungus is actually the same as the last fungus i was asked to identify :-D (link)

you can learn more about it here (link), but, in short, this is called a plantpot dapperling (l. birnbaumii). they grow most often is flowerpots like in your picture :-)

please be careful, as they are poisonous & can really upset your stomach if eaten !!

thank you for the kind words ; have a lovely day<3

Chinese Peonies (Paeonia Lactiflora), specifically the Coral Sunset variety. They fade from a bright red to much closer to white when in a vase.

Also, if I'm allowed to cheat somewhat, the mushroom commonly called Fragile Dapperling (Leucocoprinus Fragilissimus) is sometimes mistaken for a flower.

What's everyone's favourite flowers that aren't like. The normal ones. Like everyone's a fan of roses and sunflowers what's a more niche one. One you don't get in gift sets. Mine's sweet peas

FOTD #026 : plantpot dapperling! (leucocoprinus birnbaumii)

the plantpot dapperling (AKA flowerpot parasol) is a gilled mushroom in the family agaricaceae. it earned its name for frequently occuring in greenhouses & flowerpots. it is common in the tropics & subtropics !!

the big question : can i bite it?? OMG NO !! it is poisonous & causes stomach upset.

l. birnbaumii description :

"cap: 2–7.5 cm wide in maturity, starting bulbous to cylindrical before expanding to hemispherical or conical & flattening or sometimes appearing umbonate with age. the surface is lemon yellow to sulphur yellow, smooth or slightly powdery & covered in ragged, fibrous scales which are easily removed. the scales are darker yellow or brownish with age & more densely concentrated towards the centre disc where they often form a patch whilst at the edges they are sparser. the cap edges are striated & grooved (sulcate-striate) with a paler colour present in the grooves whilst the edges curl inwards when young before curving out with age or straightening. the cap flesh is firm when young but becomes softer & more fragile with age, it is a dull whitish colour. gills: free & often quite remote from the stem, sulphur yellow, with spacing that can vary from crowded to subdistant at up to 4mm wide. with age the gills may bulge in the middle (ventricose) & the edges can be fringed. stem: 2.5–9 cm long & 2-6mm thick at the top tapering to a bulbous or club shaped base which is 4-15mm thick. the interior is hollow but pithy with a shiny white colour whilst the exterior surface is lemon yellow to sulphur yellow & may discolour brownish with age. it is covered in fine powdery or woolly scales (pruinose to floccose-squamulose) across the full length starting from just above the base. the thin, membranous stem ring is located anywhere between the top and bottom of the stem (superior to inferior) & is movable. the top surface of it is yellow whilst the underside is whitish however the ring is evanescent & may disappear. spore print: white."

Backstory:

A long time ago, far, far away from the Neath, a child was born to a criminal. Its memories of this time are few and indistinct, but it remembers one thing clearly - the stars. Bright and beautiful, a countless number speckling the dark world beyond the safety of its parent's hold. It was young, it was free, and it was happy.

Then, suddenly and without warning, there was cold. Before there had been an occasional chill, but it was protected by its fur and its parent's embrace. Now the freezing air and the pure white surrounding it was unrelenting, even its parent unable to protect it, them having gone still and the warmth quickly fading from them. Unsure of what else to do, the child wailed. It did not know how long passed before the light came, like its parent but not - large and soft and warm but not the same, could never be the same. It wanted to wail and scream and cry again but its throat was sore and its eyes dry so it remained silent as it was once again taken away.

Mr. Trinkets, though it was not called that then, was raised among the Masters of the Bazaar as their future colleague, though some contributed more to its care than others. There was an air of bitterness surrounding the child as it grew up - it was, after all, a child and not one theirs, but instead taking up the place of what should have been a fully grown Curator. Furthermore, the loss of one of their colleagues was still fresh, and its arrival was a salt in that wound.

None would grow to dislike it more than the Master that Londoners would come to know as Mr. Stones. It started early with Trinkets’ developing desire to collect knick knacks and baubles, the shinier the better. And what was shinier than items encrusted with precious gemstones? Thus their rivalry was born, though then one-sided and petty, for the child was too young to feel the same contempt. But after nearly a millennia its bitterness towards its older colleague grew alongside its size. Though now there was more to it than light thievery - jealousy, discontent, condescension, and unfairness to name a few - at its heart it was still petty, and that pettiness would lead to the breaking point.

The item itself was inconsequential in the grand scheme of things, especially compared to what it would cause. But it lay within the overlap between Stones and Trinkets’ domains, both desired it, and it was the latter who was able to take it first. When next they met they of course argued over this, but as it went on it only got more heated. Out of patience, Trinkets turned to storm off, only to hear quick movement behind them, something pricking their shoulder-

Ego Mortis

Several days later, trapped up high in New Newgate, a newcomer to London would awaken with no memories of themself beyond a faint recollection of a star filled sky. It did not take them long to escape that place, but they left it without a name. It was only some time later that  they would decide on it in a flash of inspiration, fueled by the desperation of needing somewhere warm to shelter themself from the lacre covered streets:

Idris Nightlocke.

Canon Exceptional Stories

The Deadly Dapperlings: Happened fairly early on in Idris’ life, they were very early into their Ambition and had only recently started their lab/become a professor. They led their team to victory, but refused to let them become workers under Mr. Iron and have their dreams and passions be crushed

Cricket, Anyone?: Occurred much later, post-Ambition and while they were still actively help construct the railroad. Helped complete the sigil (they don’t have SotC 21 for nothing), learned Mr. Wines’ secret, and kept it for themselves. This is what happens when you entrust a near-stranger with a vital part of your plan
