Mouse studies find that the filamentous form of the common fungus *Mucor racemosus*, when present in the gut, confers some protection against radiation by producing amino acids that support DNA repair (L-glutamate, L-aspartate, and DL-lysine), and also promoting the production of radioprotective methionine by an intestinal bacterium.

Today’s #SciArtSeptember prompt is the colour saffron which made me think of a particular yellow-orange mushroom. This is a hand-carved lino block reduction print of a clump of poisonous, Eastern jack-o-lantern mushrooms (Omphalotus illudens) on a hardwood tree stump. The gills of these North American mushrooms are bioluminescent and glow green. My print has a layer of glow-in-the-dark ink so it too glows! 🧵

#mites of the #Astigmata (#Acariformes) are soft-skinned. Their thin #cuticle is sensitive to #drought, which is why they avoid leaving their mostly #moist #fungus- and bacteria-rich #habitats. For the purpose of #dispersal, a modified instar, the #deutonymph, with stronger cuticle and other specific #adaptations #evolved, performing #phoresy, the transport most often via larger arthropods.

Hiking along the Skagit River on Wednesday we came across this mushroom, a Fly Agaric (Amanita muscaria) growing among licorice fern and fallen black cottonwood leaves. This mushroom is toxic. Do not eat. #fungalfriday #fungus #mushroom #PNW #photography #SkagitRiver #amanita #mushrooms #fungi #fungifriday

Have not had these before: #Geastrum , a #fungus called #Earthstar . Probably a good sign of a healthy, #biodiverse #garden - always exciting to find something new. Not sure, which variety. Maybe someone can help.
