That's beautiful bro!
I should try Bonsai...

Thanks dudes!
Maynard, you have a similar lifestyle as I do with kids and a wife. You would enjoy the art of bonsai quite a bit I would think!

That is a lovely Bonsai dude! I love the form and the companion lichen as well, marvelous!

---

Thanks sum0! I love that lichen too, I hope its not slowly killing it though. Not sure if its parasitic or if it just lives of the small amounts of dead bark.

Do you have them narrowed to a genus? What's the spore color?

What are the microscopic features like?

You know what I have never printed one. But I will today and throw one on the scope!

The lichen is a Cladonia species and its just living on top of the bark, it won't hurt the tree.

Are those really big shrooms or is that a really small bonsai?

They remond me of Inocybe. Are the caps fibrous?

---

I wouldn't note the pileus as fibrous , but I could see Inocybe. I am printing it now for color,the spores were pretty weird looking, like spiked balls. I still blow in the scope though and haven't fucking improved or got any new shit to help me improve. Too many things on my plate.

Beautiful tree symon. I have always wanted to try bonsai but now I would be disappointed with any less than a symbiote bonsai. thank you for sharing, very cool.

Don't wait do it now!!! I am so glad I actually started this 15 years ago when I was 20.if you smoke weed it's right up your alley. You get a potensai( potential bonsai) then sit there for however long and however many doobs it takes to see the tree. Then you bring it out to life through pruning and training , wiring or like I did with this long needles pine, I bud pinched which you do once a decade to get small needles!

I attempted this awhile back, not only did I never get to see the mushrooms but I killed the bonsai as well. 2nd bonsai I've killed, maybe ill get the hang of it one day

---

Don't sweat it man, I've killed way too any rad trees to count over the years. In my mid 20's I had to work away from home and my wife couldn't handle my huge tree collection. So I lost most of my good ones then.
