I find these fungi growing everywhere. They're called Agrocybe Praecox and supposedly they're bitter, but edible, with a floury flavor.
Using this I made a spore print.
When in doubt, don't handle fungi. Some can be toxic.
I have been enjoying finding relevant ways to incorporate the highly unusual configuration we call fungi:
Use in design as a material
Use to process and decompose waste
Use for flavor and texture in cooking
Use for medicine and healing
Use for reference as a system:
Dissemination / Spores
Organization / Mycellium
Structure
Built: Over hours, to years
Build: Gelatinous to flexible to fiberous to rock hard
Weight to Strength: Great ratio
Location: Located worldwide
They are quite the fascinating friends, and it is a delight whenever they spring up overnight in our garden. Fungi, rock.
