FOTD #046 : pixie's parasol! (mycena interrupta)
the pixie's parasol is a species of agaric fungus in the family mycenaceae. this fungus appears in small colonies on rotting, moist wood in rainforests & beech or eucalypt forests !! it has been reported in australia, aotearoa, new caledonia & chile. ^^
the big question : can i bite it??
the edibility is unknown, but you should steer clear for safety. :-)
m. interrupta description :
"the caps of mycena interrupta range from 0.8 to 2 cm, & they are a brilliant cyan blue colour. they are globose when emergent & then become a broad convex as they mature, with the centre of the cap slightly depressed. the caps are often sticky & appear slimy looking, particularly in moist weather.
the length of the stipe typically ranges from 1 to 2 cm long & 0.1 to 0.2 cm thick."

I struggled to come up with character designs for Funguary so I decided to just make the mushrooms instead. First is my favorite, Pixie's Parasol!

My 4th (+ 5th, 6th & 7th) OC for Funguary! (Cornflower Bolete + Hairy Mycena + Podosepula Pusio + Pixie’s Parasol)
Once the heiress to a bandit empire, Cornelle has since distanced herself from her selfish past to instead pursue fungiculture. When she learned of Laicha’s quest to travel the land and smite evil, she left her farm in good hands before joining the young healer’s cause. Her weapon of choice - a nutrient-rich mahogany log - can be imbued with the magical properties of her tiny home-grown friends, the Goons.
