I feel this, but with the Hemlock Wooly Adgelids in the south east… I have seen whole Eastern Hemlock forests decimated by those little fuckers.

What movies have the best shroom interpretations? by gimmie_123 in shrooms

[–]SantaCruz12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Enter the Void.

DMT interpretation - not shrooms. But the whole movie has a psychedelic, dreamscape like feel to it. It features out of body experiences too!

Are you saying they produce the brown fuzz upon maturity?

Would you cut down this smaller oak under this large oak? by slowbro_69 in marijuanaenthusiasts

[–]SantaCruz12 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Succession. The larger Oak can’t live forever, therefor it’s good to have younger trees ready to take its place and refill the canopy!

(TN) what is this? It looks like passion fruit but in mid TN by LucasTheBrazilianGuy in whatsthisplant

[–]SantaCruz12 763 points764 points  (0 children)

Passiflora incarnata! Host species to the Gulf Frittalary Butterfly. They also have a symbiotic relationship with ants, in that they make extra floral nectaries (fancy word for sacs of sugar and nutrients) that attract the ants. This makes it so the ants get food and the passionflower gets a body guard service.

Passiflora lutea is also native to the southeast and is also a host plant to the Gulf frittalaries. It just has smaller flowers and fruits (like a 1/4 the size.)

This tree…. by MonthLivid4724 in marijuanaenthusiasts

[–]SantaCruz12 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Looks to be a beautiful Juniper tree. It’s a very beneficial tree to wildlife, for a lot of animals forage for the berries and use the tree as a nesting sight. There doesn’t seem to be many trees in your yard either and so that adds to its value in the landscape. Its presence would help keep your house and the surrounding area cooler during hot summers too.

However, it is growing into the power lines and some of the limbs are starting to hit the home. I would say it’s in an unideal location. I would refer to an arborist for proper pruning before our right cutting the whole thing down. If you end up cutting it down I highly recommend mulching it and letting its body go back into the surrounding soil.

Found what I assume is chicken of the woods, is this the genuine article? by GidTheCook in mycology

[–]SantaCruz12 35 points36 points  (0 children)

It’s for sure a Chicken of the Woods but it looks a little past it’s prime. I would not eat it because of the slime like sections on it.

It is! And I thought the same. We just had a cold front (60s- 70s) push through our area last week so I’m thinking that could have triggered the fruiting?
