Thread: Post your Wildlife pictures.

Ghost pipe (also known as Indianpipe) is a member of the Monotropaceae family. Plants only have one flower per stem, and flowering occurs roughly from June through September. Stems can be found alone, but are commonly found in small clusters. I don't remember if I posted this already??

gotcha!

#3 RC check!

I've seen these before. Once in the Appalachian mountains. Once in a lucid dream.

Lion mane: Mushroom cooked.



Yeah, I tried some of the Indian Pipe... It's bitter and a little spicy. Apparently, One person said that they had a lot of dreams but, to be honest, I would not count on that. There are a lot of factors that will cause someone to dream many dreams.

Hm. I would not want to eat those Indian Pipes. I'm sure you know this, but they turn into a black goo after a while. I had no idea they were even edible.

Lion's Mane is cool. Did you find it yourself? I don't find those in Florida. When I lived in Connecticut, they grew there. I think I saw one, once.

Here in South Florida, unless you go out to the woods (which is hard to do because everything is developed), you're only going to find Green Gills. And they are everywhere. I did find this once in my sister's yard.. check it out.

This is not the best picture, I'm not sure where the other ones are. When you cup it open, it turns hot pink, and smells like anise. It's a Raspberry Limbed Lepidella. It's pink where I scratched it.

It's edible but, I would not eat too much of it.
If you’re so lucky as to know where you might find this plant, take with you a mason jar of vodka, pick the plant, and put it in the vodka. The Natives used to use it's for beneficial properties.

After a relatively short period of time, you can use the vodka in small quantities to relieve pain, as you would use something as strong as morphine.

With apparently little or no side effects. Most certainly not the addiction and or inebriating effects of opiate-based pain relievers.

Cool find.

Wow. I never knew that. I figured it was just a very bad idea to ingest it because it is a lepidella. It is amazing what medicines we can get from mushrooms. Although I don't think I'm brave enough to try that method you describe. Hey I found my other pictures - here is one.

Turns out, this strange plant isn't a mushroom. It's a flower is indeed an angiosperm (flowering plant) and they are perennial wildflowers found throughout the United States. There are at least 3,000 known species of non-photosynthetic angiosperms. The leaves are small and scale-like. The plant is approximately 10-30 centimeters (4-12 inches) tall.

How does this plant obtain its nutrients if it does not contain chlorophyll? Indian pipes are mycoheterotrophic meaning they get their nutrients from an outside source; in this case fungus. The relationship between the Indian pipes and the fungi becomes more complicated because the fungus is a mycorrihizal. Mycorrihizal fungi are fungi that live symbiotically with trees and their roots. The Indian pipes take advantage of the symbiosis between mycorrihizal fungi and the tree by parasitizing the fungus. These relationships appear to be very host and species-specific. Monotropa uniflora forms a relationship with Russula and Lactarius species.

Generally, species of Monotropa are found in mature forests with moist thick leaf cover. These plants spend most of their lives underground and only come above ground to flower and disperse. These plants flower early summer to early autumn.


I feel a little calmer. *shrugs*

Whoops. I see what you mean, I thought you were talking about the Amanita I posted. I'm glad I didn't go grab one and try out your recipe with a potentially DEADLY mushroom

That's cool about the indian pipe - had no idea it was used for that. Yes I know what myrcorrihizal means, but thank you for this amazing description.

Here is a picture from years ago, they used to grow in the forest behind my house when I lived in Tampa.

No, they are not psychedelic. They're actually covered in slime.

oh! I see...But now I need to find the [img], or I guess by hand. But I did go under advanced but haven't find it.
I appreciate for taking the time, thanks lang_osta

Oh that's how you do it. I didn't know either and was annoyed because Flikr added some weird tag to my picture.

oh well, sweet lucid dreams...

También trato de asegurarme de que tenga un jpg o un ping al final,

[img] https://i.imgur.com/Dh9S8zM.jpg [/ img]

Entonces, cuando esté publicando, debería indicar [img] cuál es el enlace de la imagen (en este caso, está usando el enlace dirigido con el jpg o png al final de eso. Por alguna razón, parece funcionar mejor para esto). el [/img]

¿Espero que eso ayude?
