Untouched sunset


Fishing at Clear lake




I haven't been able to find many mushrooms lately so I've been trying to teach myself about plants.
Sweet pea (Lathyrus odoratus)


Wild blackberries (Rubus species)

Opium lettuce (lactucarium virosa)








this one was nearly 15-18 feet tall.

Water hemlock (Conium maculatum?)

https://www.erowid.org/plants/lactuca/lactuca.shtml
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lactuca_virosa "A latex which is called lactucarium can be derived from the extract of the stem secretions of Lactuca virosa. Oils and extracts can also be produced from L. virosa. These oils and extracts have sedative properties in rodents. They may be added to tea to help induce sleep.[citation needed] While its use as a galactagogue (a substance that increases breast milk) has been reported,[citation needed] the sedative effects on the baby would strongly argue against its use for this purpose. Many add the greens to salads, though the leaves of L. virosa are more bitter than other salad greens. Smoking involves either dried leaves or a sticky precipitate extracted from the leaves. Beverages can be prepared by soaking the leaves in alcohol.
The plant contains flavonoids, coumarins, and N-methyl-β-phenethylamine.[unreliable source?] A variety of other chemical compounds have been isolated from L. virosa. One of the compounds, lactucin, is an adenosine receptor agonist in vitro, while another, lactucopicrin, has been shown to act as an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor in vitro"

I really like this! I keep playing with the lighting in Photoshop, because it is like a little glimmering jewel.

Ho SHit!!!
That is some Clear spore micrograph right there!!! I can see exactly whats going on!
I would call those smooth spores, although ive seen "roughened" spores in Panaeolus, im not sure what the cutoff is for roughened spores, like i threw one I thought was roughened under the SEM and got sheet like looking ornamentation.
Im working on that section vid....
