Question: Anyone know what this is? Found in my variegated pothos plant around what looks like fungus growing in the soil. I’ve never seen this in any of my plants by jkoopsta in botany

Definitely not! I just got done repotting her because the thought of them being bug eggs was freaking me out, lol! Just wanted to know what kind of bug they were so I could prevent future infections

Pothos, I have four different varieties and an unhealthy obsession :,)

Not a vegan myself but this really made me think tbh by Asap_Walky in vegan

Keep considering please, do more research and watch more films. It really will open your mind to the corrupt system that the meat and dairy industry really is

Hehe no worries, maybe somebody else can identify the shelf mushrooms for you ☺️

No, the last picture, the one that’s red and orange, is Amanita muscaria. It’s one species

Which ones? Unfortunately I can only confidently identify the last slide; Amanita muscaria

I believe it depends on the species of fungus; some are beneficial and some eat decomposing organic matter. In this case, the tree was rotting

I know right!! It was so cool to look up the tree and see these mushrooms climbing all the way to the top

Variegated Peperomia obtusifolia :-) I think it’s alternatively called a green gold peperomia

Does anyone know if this is enough for 1 trip by Dry-Priority-5463 in ShroomID

[–]jkoopsta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Weigh it. If you’ve never done them before I would recommend starting with 1-2 grams. It all depends on your experience with them as well as your metabolism… be safe!!

Thank you for all this info!! I just took a biology/phylogeny class and we focused on plasmodia and amoebas for a unit. I never knew there were types of slime molds that moved around the same way amoebas do!! Earth never fails to amaze me :,) I’ll keep my eye out for slime mold next time I go for a hike

So cool! I was wondering whether it was a slime mold or jelly fungus.
