Is this your name or a doctor's eye chart?
At this point if I have a circadian rhythm it seems to be measured in days, but last night after two doctor's appointments and an evening of virtual seminars through the euphemistically designated career center, I fell over for something like a cumulative thirteen hours and still got through this afternoon's calendar of calling more doctors and the next stage of the career center in time to run out into a cold pastel sunset out of which the occasional flake of snow drifted with insulting singularity. I am delighted by the rediscovery of silent Holmes and also by my camera's cooperation when trying again for the beautiful fungi I had spotted on an earlier walk, clustered on the stump of what used to be a sidewalk tree and has now pivoted to Richard Dadd. I dreamed intensely and have no idea what Alex Horne was doing in there.

I like that thought! I have certainly seen both around here before, particularly the former and often more elaborately. Do you have an opinion on the one that looks like jellied leather? Also some kind of bracket, actually formed an impressive shelf that collected a drift of maple keys I couldn't get a good picture of. We've had cold snaps on and off all month and I can't tell if it should normally look less freeze-dried.
Did you look underneath the whitish one? They look cool on the underside.
I did not—I would have had to lie on the pavement to do it. I can see the fan vaulting in photos online, though.

Thank you! It would be invasive if so, but it looks as though there are some North American cousins, too.

Totally understandable, and extremely helpful no matter what!

Oh ffs
They look like cat's paws in the photo! Is that frost?
no subject
It's the furred cap of the fungus itself! I love the idea of them as flexing little paws. At the very bottom of the stump, there was a little ice in grains.

I was hoping you would say so! What a lovely creature. The only fungi of note I have seen in my neighbourhood are these cream-coloured domes on the plum and cherry trees. They look like velvet, though they are not fuzzy to touch.

I loved the mention that Conan Doyle was a fan. And "handsome, troubled, sensitive" does sound like Eille Norwood got it right.

Thank you! It just hangs out two streets up from me, unwisely attractive to the eye.

It's a whole fairy rade of fungi on the same stump. I love it.

out of which the occasional flake of snow drifted with insulting singularity --Ahahaha, yes, such insolence!
I don't know if

Yes! I like people knowing things.

It's December! It's below freezing! It was pouring just the other night! Come on!
I don't know if spatch shows you his Bluesky posts, but I loved this one from him: "Tubi is such a crazy streaming service. It’s like if the Criterion Closet was in a gas station" (... yeah, that was a random comment connected to absolutely nothing, but it popped into my head, so.)
He doesn't, generally! And I can't always see his posts when he does from not being on Bluesky. I love that one. Thank you for making sure I'd seen it.

I have always liked them. And slime molds.

Good to see these new-old Holmes movies have been released!
And beautiful fungi :D
no subject
Yes! Now to figure out how to see them!
And beautiful fungi
Thank you! I can take very little credit except for wanting to share.
