(tl;dr image analysis seems to suggest the images haven't been doctored, mycologists like Alan Rockefeller believe it's most likely been dislodged and stuck to the frog's skin somehow, mycena mycelium would not colonise a frog flesh substrate)
- NPC82 3y agoYeah kinda weird to leave out the iNat discussion. It's a really fun photo but the consensus of "it's a piece of dirt with the mushroom on it" seems improtant if you want to publish it...
- dmux 3y agoThanks for the link; I hadn’t heard of iNaturalist before and I enjoyed reading the discussion. This particular comment gave me a laugh: > Would you also deny that a fungus could never fruit the the toenail of a human that spent a lot of time in the Amazon Rainforest?
- bubblyworld 3y agoYeah, it's a good time =) highly recommend the app! I've learned tons about the natural world in my hometown from snapping pics while I'm walking around. The community is really friendly.
