It's firefly time in Bellingen
* "In the early evening, flashing lights can often be seen cruising around in the forest. These are the little lanterns on the underside of the abdomen of a carnivorous beetle of the family lampyridae. These beetles have been misnamed fireflies. It is believed that the flashing light is used by males and females to attract each other." >>
https://www.wettropics.gov.au/fireflies* Tidy gardens and landscape maintenance equipment unleash a blitzkrieg on the little fairies of the soil. The ubiquitous lawn mowers "mowing the grass" like a military strategy, so no soil micro-diversity shall survive. Line trimmers, debris blowers, chainsaws, bobcats, bulldozers and a dash of chemicals complete the terraforming.
* Fireflies under threat from habitat loss, pesticides and light pollution

The ancient Celtic spiritual tradition features a profound relationship between druids and faeries. Druids served as mediators, maintaining rituals and communicating with faerie entities through complex customs. #fairies #druids https://connectparanormal.net/2025/05/22/exploring-the-mystical-connection-between-druids-and-faeries/

I posted something similar on .lol when I joined there, so I'll do the same here. I find the #introduction posts quite lovely.

Happy Sunday everyone! ☀️
Todays #fungifind 🍄 The stages of a Shaggy Parasol! (Chlorophyllum rhacodes)
A Shaggy Parasol is a #large, stocky mushroom with a #convex cap when mature. The cap’s surface has raised #brown scales, giving it a #shaggy look, further enhanced by the shaggy edge to the #rim.
The shaggy parasol’s habit of #growing in rings, known as #fairy rings, has long been part of European #folklore. Some believe the #rings symbolised a place where #fairies, #pixies or #elves danced in the woods. Others believe that they were a #portal between the fairy world and the #human world!
On a side note, though #edible when cooked for some, I wouldn’t be #foraging this one for dinner because it can cause #severe gastric upset in 1 in 25 people! #fungioftheday #shaggyparasol #toadstool #fungi #mushroom #nature #tinderfungus #mastodonmushrooms #mastodon #mastoart #mycodon #bracket #mosstodon #mycology #fungiverse #fungus #mushroomsofmastodon #nature
