More from the woodland bottom that is, from the LBJ NG. Still searching for fungus.
When I first saw the white I thought it was just going to be the usual blob of fungus. Hold on it turned out to be on a cicada!
Flipping it over to ID it. They were a Bush Cicada (Megatibicen dorsatus)! Second or third one of this species this year for me. Sadly all have been dead.
Front view!
Indeed a nice group of different stages of growth for the Southern Grape Fern (Sceptridium biternatum)! This fern is a very uncommon fern in North Texas.
Tiny fungus and larger fungus. đ
This was a mystery. So I never could tell what the fungus was covering except to say it was organic matter. LOL.
You’ve been hanging out with those fun-guys again LOL. That article about coelacanths was very interesting, and really cool that their new genus was named (I presume) after the lady who received the first specimen from the South African fisherman.
Couldnât get the article on the fish but love the ancient creatures. Wouldnt it be fun to find something like those mummified remains.
Indeedy it would!
The cicada sure was covered in fungus!!
Never know what will be found – fish and mummies!
