Ghost pipe (Monotropa uniflora) in c/plants@mander.xyz

These ones were probably 8" or so IIRC. I think these were the tallest I've found so far. Usually they're shorter and more hunched over.

Chicken of the woods (Laetiporus sp.) (infosec.pub)
 

Midwest USA. September 2023

It has been a minute since I last posted here as my fungi options are limited with all this snow, so I'm going through my back catalog. I always seem to find COTW when on the river and unable to harvest. Not that that matters with this one, it's too far gone to be picked. I like how this one looks like a giant insect perched on the tree. These are definitely one of my favorite shrooms.

Thunderbolt and lightning, very, very frightening [OC] (infosec.pub)
 

Midwest USA. July 2024.

Pixel 7 Pro, 6.81mm, f/1.8, 1/3s, ISO762.

This was a test to see if my Pixel 7 Pro could handle storm photography. I'd say it did a pretty decent job. There were many failures, but I got a few decent ones.

That's interesting, thanks for sharing. I've not seen this plant before, too cool.

Midwest USA. June 2024.

Another fantastic local orchid. A little more uncommon than the yellow variant, but still fairly common.

One of the many beautiful orchids we have here. This one is quite common and a personal favorite.

Northern leopard frog (Lithobates pipiens) (infosec.pub)
 

Midwest USA. June 2024

My favorite local frog. These leopard frogs are so pretty and my favorite color is green.

North American porcupine (infosec.pub)
 

Midwest USA.

This photo is from August 2024. I was going to a friend's house a bit out in the boonies and this porcupine was just following the trail. I pulled up right next to it for this photo and it paid me no mind. Definitely one of the more cute rodents we have. Unfortunately my friend's two Cane Corsos got ahold of it a few days later and cost him $1500 at the vet. The porcupine got away mostly unscathed.

Water frog (Lithobates sp.) (infosec.pub)
 

Midwest USA.

An old photo from June 2024. One of the many frog types we have here. I'm not sure of the specific species.

This is an old photo from June 2024 and I never posted it here. I was riding my dirt bike and almost ran little dude over. This may be the most common snake in the US, but I rarely ever find them.

Carnivorous plants are truly alien.

I'm not sure, but that is a good point. That and seed dispersal seem like a good reason, that or it's a latent trait from a shared ancestor.

American robin chicks (infosec.pub)
 

Location: Midwest USA.

This is an old photo from last year (May 2024). We were loading up kayaks for a trip and stumbled on this nest built in the middle of the garage. Don't worry we left the nest alone and these chicks matured into beautiful adult robins.

Bonus pic of a different nest we found earlier this year (May 2025). Maybe even from a chick in the previous picture?

That's awesome. I have to get me a setup like this when spring comes around. Thanks for this.

Ghost pipe (Monotropa uniflora) (infosec.pub)
 

This is one of my top 10 plants because of its ecology. M.uniflora doesn't have any chlorophyll and thus can't photosynthesize. It gets its nutrients by parasitizing mycorrhizal fungi connected to tree roots.

This plant has some medicinal properties too. It's been the "in" thing to make a tincture from them. It's said it can treat pain, anxiety, and sleeplessness.

This is an old photo of mine from August 2024.

They're mostly located on the East coast and Northern Midwest US. They're all over Canada. Most states have some carnivorous plants though. The one I really want to find in the wild is Darlingtonia californica the cobra lilly. It's an absolutely gorgeous plant, but only found in Northern California and parts of Oregon.

Yup, that is its flower.

Jesus Christ this is embarrassing. We really are a nation of slop.

BAND-MAID - Dilly-Dally (Hard Rock) [2025] (youtu.be)
 

This song is from BAND-MAID's 2025 EP "SCOOOOOP." My favorite from the EP, which is a collection of songs they wrote for anime. They've been a favorite band for me for the last few years. Just the perfect blend of aggression, melody, and a dash of pop for good measure. These ladies are the real deal.

I'd be lying if I said it's my favorite Pantera album, but goddamn if it ain't a groove metal moving punch in the dick. Dime and Vinnie are here. Phil's off doing Phil things. I'm worried for my Kirbys!

RIP Dimebag. It was 21 years on the 8th.

RIP Vinnie too.

I'm not a Hellyeah fan all that much, but I do love Mudvayne, Vinnie, and Hush.
