A circle of hairy earth tongue mushrooms

Spotted lots of cool mushrooms and lichen this weekend. Here's a couple of favorites #MushroomMonday #fungifriends

Milky Way Cafe's specials:

The ghost speaker - Hot chocolate, a seat tucked away in the corner, and a blueberry, maple, and bacon scone.

The scientist - Black coffee, any day old scone, and local gossip.

The daemon - A second cup of coffee that you can’t remember ordering.

SFF lichen WIP: Probably not. The characters in that one get a lot of essential nutrition from photosynthesis.

Paranormal WIP: I'd be thriving with all the scones, pizza, tacos, burgers, coffee, and hot chocolate. There are even vegetables to provide some important things like vitamin C.

Greetings from Foggy Dell, the perfect small town for a quiet getaway. It's got:

Ancient redwoods and seacliff views
Local, artisanal food and drink
A exclusive wellness retreat that may or may not be a cult
A blood-drained body
Vampire(s)?

The first page of Foggy Dell opens with musing on procrastination, though EV's assessment of Maisie's inaction is missing a few details.

A little mushroom nestled among ferns

Found this cute little mushroom in the forest today.

Genre-blending and bending, very cool

Maisie's nervous system there's something dangerous lurking in Foggy Dell. It's just not sure what.

Sketchy art style depicting a cross between an angler fish and the Cheshire cat grinning out of a murky dark background with the title Garden of the Grinning Beast in the same color as the glowing orb on the creature's forehead.

Garden of the Grinning Beast is for those who enjoy: - Princess Mononoke and Spirited Away - Nightmare spirits and adorable sprites - Fairytale horror and horror as a subgenre - Casual, pervasive queerness - Strong friendships - Witty banter - Worlds that feel lived-in - Rich descriptions - Deepening community by being true to oneself - Character-driven stories - Tea (both definitions) - Food you can nearly taste as you read - Protagonists who are just as often their own antagonists - I can fix him. Woah, maybe I can't

Thanks! I actually haven't seen the x-files, but I've been thinking I need to check it out (for research 😀)

Old school looking book cover: Ominous redheaded girl overlooking the Earth. Book title, Tangle and Tether, Brilliance of Earth, Book One. More about the book: Brilliance Overland is a prodigy who craves answers and adventure. Her invention— latticed entanglement aperture passthroughs (LEAP)—opens a quantum-based wormhole to a world more advanced, yet far more backward than she imagined. With her best friend Annie, Brilliance enrolls at Avram Circle, the premier science academy in a system of interlinked worlds, hoping to unravel their origins. But in a place where every relationship is entangled, every truth is knotted with lies, and every discovery leads to deeper complexity, Brilliance finds that her will and scientific principles alone can’t untangle the mess. Brilliance relies on Annie’s empathy to navigate the social brambles rooted in this new world, but as Brilliance buries her own “unproductive” feelings, Annie’s patience frays. When their friendship is tested, Brilliance must confront the tethers that bind her: Unspoken grief for her mother, whose voice and lessons echo as AI in her mind; the causal chains that connect her actions to unintended consequences; and the realization that even in a universe of infinite possibility, some bonds—of love, loss, and home—are impossible to sever. To survive forces that want to control them, Brilliance must learn that true understanding isn’t just about unraveling mysteries, but about embracing the beautiful, messy tangle of relationships and the tethers that hold us together—even across worlds. Themes: - Quantum entanglement as a metaphor for the complexity and messiness of relationships, regardless of time or distance. - Tethering as both a source of strength (home, love, memory) and a challenge (grief, responsibility, causality) - The interplay between scientific genius and emotional intelligence - The search for origins—of worlds, of self, of the bonds that shape us

Tangle and Tether
Teen scientist Brilliance Overland and her bestie Annie complete her late mother's quantum wormhole tech!
They escape to a promising world beyond. But something breaks that promise.
Their exploration is mired in loss, loneliness, and a childhood bond that no longer works.
