Flaumhaariges Samthäubchen, Conocybe pulchella 12.06.22
Found a poisonous fungal friend in front of a neighbor's house. I think it's Conocybe apala, not entirely sure on the species. Not a good snack either way.
So a little while ago I drew a reference sheet of my boy Raikius. (You can find the post here!)
And recently I finished one of his brother, Conocybe!
Yes, they are very similar. Cybe was created as a replacement for Raikius originally, so he's a carbon copy of him, just.... better. He's a lot smarter and not as sweet as Rai, so he doesn't really bring up himbo status, however he does have his moments.
Cybe spits acid rather than having to do with fire and magma like Raikius! Also his mane and mushrooms are bioluminescent, so he'll glow in the dark!

Found these weird little guys while walking my dog this morning. This was my first encounter with the Conocybe genus.
"The cap of this mushroom is very slimy, flimsy, and rusty brown; its weight soon causes the weak stem to bend over and collapse. The gills are rusty brown and are usually fairly well formed, but they can also be vein-like, fused, or nearly unrecognizable as gills. Both cap and gills dissolve into a mushy mess very quickly." - Michael Kuo, mushroomexpert.com

Top two photos: First, I'm super excited that the Cornus species we transplanted to the east side of the house (from the north) is now flowering! I had a sneaking suspicion it was a flowering dogwood, but wasn't getting enough sun and lo and behold: tons of yellow blooms this year.
Bottom three photos: We have lots of these mushrooms on the east and south sides of our property. I recently joined a PNW mushroom ID group (because I know nothing about fungi) and they immediately IDed as Conocybe species.
