Topic: The Fungus AmungUs

Glow in the dark Mushrooms.  http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/33179052/ns/technology_and_science-science/  Another to add to the list of glowing shrooms including Jack o Lanterns and FoxFire from Honey Mushrooms. Glowing is quite odd behaviour from Mycenae's, but the Mycenae's are the most under-rated group of mushroom out there.  They may be tiny but they are infinitely fascinating.  Oh...and scroll down for the link to the "phallic mushroom" It's really cool reticulated stinkhorn something like this one that grew in our neighbour's yard and was once my top hot-linked image:

This picture was taken later in the day after it's slime was dispersed by millions of buzzing flies. 

And that's all for today!
