Here's some #FungiFriday news:

In Hungary we have an online vote every year for Fungus of the Year.

The 2023 vote just concluded, and it seems like the 2023 Fungus of the Year will be the Gomphus clavatus (a.k.a. pig's ears).
It beat the citron amanita and the pine bolete.

(We also have votes for Mineral of the Year, Bird of the Year, Wildflower, Butterfly, Fish, Insect, etc. I live for these votes.)

We are thrilled to release Fungal, a variable fork of DejaVu Sans that can grow like mycelium. Fungal is the fruit of an ongoing collaboration between @triple and @raphael , and is part of the larger project https://fungal.page.

Help my mum get something out of the #fediverse


My mum uses Facebook currently because there's a few groups on it that she likes.

I'm no longer on it, and she's joined the #fediverse (on my instance) but I'm struggling to find replacement groups.

So, does anyone know any good #fedi #groups/instances focused on #gardening, #mushroom / #fungi identification, #wildlife in general, wildlife in the UK, etc.?

Please don't @ her (she doesn't yet fully understand how this stuff works, and isn't looking for people to contact her out of the blue). Hence why I'm looking for groups or instances that I can point her at the local timelines of. Then she can control her own interactions with them.

She's fluent in #German and #English.

But please do @ me with any info.

Boosts appreciated.
