Really glowing ✨️ its hard to capture it on camera, looked far more impressive in person.
And this was the sky above the woods while I was wandering around looking for glowing mushrooms. Night walks are THE BEST. #namjooning
This is the first time in my life I’ve ever seen bioluminescent fungi in the wild. My #AutisticJoy right now is absolutely MAX. Nature SPIN achieved. +
Something had definitely been snacking on them.
But the stalks and fragments were scattered around the stump, and there were some fresh little clusters forming too. And under the UV…They glowed. +
So obviously my brain went: “RETURN AT NIGHT WITH THE UV TORCH.” So tonight I went back. The woods look completely different in the dark, and I absolutely got a bit lost trying to find the tree again. But eventually…I found them. 🍄✨ +
Sulphur Tufts can appear almost year-round, but they’re most common Sept–Nov. Yesterday, on a dog walk, I spotted a dead oak in the woods with a beautiful, intact little troop of Sulphur Tufts growing inside a crack. +
So, for Christmas this year, I asked for a UV torch to go mushroom hunting at night. My lovely sister delivered.
Unfortunately, it was already past peak mushroom season in the UK (autumn), so I wasn’t sure I’d actually find any this time of year. +
Most often on beech, oak, birch, and other hardwoods, but sometimes on conifers too. What makes them extra fascinating is that they’re bioluminescent. That means the fungus can produce its own faint light through a chemical reaction (similar to how glow-worms or fireflies work)+
A species of mushroom called Sulphur Tuft (Hypholoma fasciculare) grows commonly across the UK.
You’ll usually find them growing in dense clusters on dead or decaying wood, especially tree stumps, fallen logs, or buried roots. +
I am SO excited about this. One of my long-term special interests (I recently heard them called SPINs, which I find endlessly cute) is mushroom ID.
And tonight I finally saw something I’ve wanted to see for years. 🍄✨+
Yesterday was the first day since the new year that I have felt the sun on my face, and its felt warm 🌞

don’t get hurt, tell your parents I said hi, go home well (jjk 2023:7-21)
It was so good 😭 they're incredible live, absoloute perfection 👌🏻 they did David as an encore.
I am seeing NoSo tomorrow in London. Their music sounds like gentle and beautifully intense, guitar-led songs about identity and growing into yourself, from a Korean-American trans perspective. If this feels like your vibe, give them a listen 💜 open.spotify.com/artist/09Wl9...

Its also looks very soft, an comforting.
This is so cute!! I love that it has a pocket 💜🥹
The “what is your love song?” campaign for Arirang is wonderful marketing. Super fun. Super special. And tbh extra nice to prompt people to focus on what they and others around them love in this world at a time where many of us feel overwhelmed at times by the hate around us.
I’ve got a scary scan tomorrow. Necessary, badly timed, heavier because of where I am in my cycle. I know I am looking after myself, even though it doesn’t feel like it.
PMDD shrinks your world for a few days.
If you’re there too, I am sorry. I am here if you want to talk.
When you already feel awful internally and then have to face the world in a body that looks and feels wrong, it hits harder than people realise. I guess sometimes the goal isn’t thriving, it’s just continuing to exist while your brain insists you’re doing life wrong. +
This week has looked like: no exercise, basic food, and skin-picking sneaking back in. My hormones have left my skin red, dry, blotchy, and breaking out. +
I also live with chronic illness, and I’m AuDHD, so when the hormonal dip hits, it *really* hits. Years ago, it felt destructive. These days, with therapy, movement, support, and a very patient partner, it’s more self-sabotage than self-destruction. Not life sparkling progress, but still progress. +
Illustrated circular diagram of the menstrual cycle split into two halves. The right half (follicular phase) shows menstruation with blood drops and ovulation with a small sun icon, mostly clear of symptoms. The left half (luteal phase) is filled with dense scribbles and labelled PMDD, listing symptoms including mood swings, hopelessness, irritability, rejection sensitivity, anger, tearfulness, sleep problems, appetite changes, brain fog, overwhelm, interpersonal conflict, and suicidal thoughts. The contrast visually shows severe symptoms occurring before the period and relief after menstruation begins.
I really hate PMDD.
This week I’ve had no energy. My period was only two days late, but the symptoms were loud. When you live with PMDD, you learn it isn’t just about hormones; it can feel like your brain turns on you. +
