#deliquescence

[mycoblogg]

freaky fungi fact - mycology vocab :-)

deliquescence : the process of certain fungi (most often ink caps) where they turn to liquid.

this process is observed in a handful of different fungi !! as their caps mature, they furl inward & turn to a spore-filled, inky liquid.

yes, this liquid can be harvested & used for actual pen ink. :-) just make sure to add preservatives to avoid it causing a rotten smell.

to use it in a sentence : the mushrooms above are experiencing deliquescence ; they are deliquescing !! ink caps are deliquescent.

Happy (early) Valentine's Day, y'all! If you're one of the approximately 100 people who have begged and pleaded for a sequel/follow-up/another story just like Deliquescence, then today is your day!!

Fungi February: The mica cap must be cooked quickly to halt the deliquescence that happens upon picking. It contains compounds that may be antibacterial and may inhibit enzyme activity in chemo-resistant cancer cells (support your mycologists and biochemists!).

Yuu Rei - The Ghost Charming Hero

Rei's quirk, Summon, allows her to summon two ghost-like creatures, who have a mind on their own, but can be tamed with strong will to fight

As a child of two former Pro Heroes, Rei had been expected to follow their path. This, on the other hand, has lead her to becoming a selfish deliquent, who thinks she can achive whatever she wants, just because she has a powerful quirk and famous parents. To cool down her temper, instead of taking part in UA's regular course, she got accepted into the Class For Troublesome Students (Special Ed), lead by a mysterious individual, an ex vigilante, Mr. Vector

And her name, in honour of mister Horikoshi's fashion, is a pun - Yuurei (幽霊) means ghost

Fungi February: The shaggy mane must be cooked or frozen quickly lest deliquescence turns its cap into a bitter goop. They grow well on disturbed ground, so they often show up where they're least expected, like the green areas of towns.
