Do you have a favorite mushroom? Mine is the Parrot Waxcap (aka: Hygrocybe psittacina) its so pretty looking! Also apparently edible?

I don't know any specific kinds other than chicken of the woods, but I love polypores. They're the shelf-looking mushrooms that like growing on trees.

Sarracenia x Dainas (or Dana's) Delight is an unofficial Sarracenia cultivar. Daina's Delight was developed by Mark Edwards in the 1990s, and is named after his daughter Daina. The use of the name Dana, derived from a misspelling on labels from the tissue culture lab. It is a complex hybrid of ((S. psittacina x purpurea) x (purpurea x (flava x purpurea)) x leucophylla. #Sarracenia #Daina'sDelight #Dana'sDelight #carnivorousplant #insectivorousplant #pitcherplant #CUgreenhouse (at CU Greenhouse)

Wettest fungi? The top 3 i know are hydnellum peckii, the wrinkled peach and the parrot waxcap

i'm sorry this just made me giggle so hard........

but, uh, yeah !! both h. peckii & the wrinkled peach perform an action called guttation, which is functionally similar to sweat :-) that would make it quite a wet fungus.

& the parrot waxcap is very slimy !! so i suppose they would be.. (checks notes) ..the top 3 wettest fungi?

interestingly, mushrooms can be up to 93% water, so some specimens will leak water when you squeeze them - especially after a big rain !!

Loriini is a tribe of small to medium-sized arboreal parrots characterized by their specialized brush-tipped tongues for feeding on nectar of various blossoms and soft fruits, preferably berries. The species form a monophyletic group within the parrot family Psittaculidae. The group consists of the lories and lorikeets. Traditionally, they were considered a separate subfamily (Loriinae) from the other subfamily (Psittacinae) based on the specialized characteristics, but recent molecular and morphological studies show that the group is positioned in the middle of various other groups. They are widely distributed throughout the Australasian region, including south-eastern Asia, Polynesia, Papua New Guinea, Timor Leste and Australia, and the majority have very brightly coloured plumage.

Didn't find anything that quite matched these. May be very pale Hygrocybe psittacina.

I’m a little worried I may have a bit too many plants...especially the Venus fly traps .___.;;

My first psittacina seems to grow wildly. It’s pretty big now. I can’t wait for it to multiply. The sarracenias seem to be thriving as well so I’m a pretty happy plant daddy.

I’ve resorted to using a line to water my nepenthes. It’s been months and they seem to enjoy it. Meanwhile the sundews know no bounds and threaten to take over most of the plant room D;

Also an appearance from the husband’s poinsettia!
