No, not the classic sci-fi movie, but probably the most un-fungus-looking fungus, White Brain (Exidia thuretiana)
White Brain, one of the jellies…
Well I did promise you a potential alien… 🙂

We do sometimes… dispute. Then I’ll get home, look it up, and if I’m wrong I’ll text her with the actual name.

Absolutely. And on the QT, I quite like it when I’m wrong. Doesn’t do to always be right. It will eventually spark resentment

No, it doesn’t do to always be right – resentment from others and next thing you know, you have the title of Smarty Pants and not in a flattering way 😉

It should be. But they want to bring someone with me to escort me home in a car. But they can swivel. I’ll get a taxi and be done. Such expectations these hospitals have. Wouldn’t it be nice to know someone with a car who would take time of work to accompany me. Hah.

Well, I beg to differ with you all, but it looks like a blob of ice cream that fell off someone’s cone. Mostly vanilla, but with a few walnuts — and maybe a mint leaf — in it.

Yech, how wonderfully disgusting! Brain blob, indeed. I would probably not even have recognized that as a mushroom, although I’d be hard-pressed to guess at what else it might be. A plant disease maybe? Something that belongs in a horror or dystopian movie!

My daughter was puzzled; wouldn’t believe me when I said it was fungus. But there’s the name of it. They come in all shapes and forms. And this autumn was exceptional for how many oddities thrust forth.
