#Fabricademy bootcamp 2025
May 19→25

Don't miss this year's bootcamp in Brussels to encounter international fellows in the field of #textile, #engineering and #biology.

I am co-organizing it through the #fablab @GreenFabric and the #fabricademy team (@fabtextiles ).

A great opportunity to test Fabricademy themes and way of working through intense hands-on workshops. It will cover #biomaterials with #mycelium #fungi, #modulardesign, #machineknitting with the #kniterate machine, using the #opensourcehardware machines that we built, #etextile with thermochromic inks.

Don't miss also the #MakerFaire on the following week-end (May 26-27) with the Fabricademy exhibition of final projects and a workshop on #softrobotics.

Something big can grow from small beginnings

I never saw this huuuuge muuushrooom when I was tending the bed today

Not much in the way of spring mushrooms in my area but I did spot a couple showy Lichenomphalia and a shy pixie cup in the background. #fungi #mushtodon #yyj #victoriabc

some turkey tail (Trametes versicolor) for #FungiFriday (^ω^)

A while back I posted how Purple Tooth [Trichaptum abietinum] mushrooms can be confusing because, well, they’re seldom purple. Here’s a fruiting that has aged to nearly all white.

Aged alder bracket (𝘐𝘯𝘰𝘯𝘰𝘵𝘶𝘴 𝘳𝘢𝘥𝘪𝘢𝘵𝘶𝘴 or 𝘔𝘦𝘯𝘴𝘶𝘭𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘢 𝘳𝘢𝘥𝘪𝘢𝘵𝘢), from the Wiley Trails.

I took the picture from an angle as if the tree were still standing, but the rotted out trunk had broken in the wind and lay horizontally across our path.

A little strange. A little sacred.
This sticker set celebrates the magic of decay, the glow of mystery, and mushrooms that haunt your imagination.
