This is Armillaria, Plague flight rep. They're a forager and a fungal farmer both, residing in the Undercolony in the roots of the Behemoth itself. Armillaria is an optimist who knows that the sister flights of Plague and Nature have more in common than they do apart, and is determined to help repair bonds between the two.

24. Store - 10 points
We get our fresh produce at a chain called Harris Farm. They have this great seconds section where you can get produce that's just a smidge past its best for really cheap, and that means I've got to try some really interesting produce, especially mushrooms, that we normally wouldn't get because it's just a little too expensive. We can regularly get shiitake, shimeji, enoki, oyster, king oyster, wood ear, lion's mane... all super interesting mushies for extremely cheap! (Australia tends to lean more towards Asian mushrooms, due to our climate, general location, and demographics. Means I haven't been able to try things like morels or chanterelles, but I'd love to one day!)
25. Kitchen - 10 points
My favourite room <3 The card is leaning against the drainer. It's hidden by the island, but there's an armchair and a padded bench in the window and it's my favourite spot. There are also cupboards behind me, painted a blue that matches the stained glass.

45. What's your favorite kind of mushroom? - 10 points
I really dig wood ears! They look so unlike other mushrooms and have a very unique texture (squidgy and crunchy at the same time), a neat taste, and add a great contrast with other mixed mushies in a dish.

46. Bird - 10 points
A lovely surprise this morning, a beautiful pair of king parrots (my favourite birds!) in our diosma! They didn't stick around long because there were also literally fourteen rainbow lorikeets, and a couple of noisy miners making pains of themselves, and they tend to harass the gentler king parrots. (Also heard magpies and a kookaburra. Busy morning!)
![Et82yCo.jpeg Et82yCo.jpeg](https://i.imgur.com/Et82yCo.jpeg)
47. Rodent or small mammal - 10 points

Busy critters.
![UDp5629.jpeg UDp5629.jpeg](https://i.imgur.com/UDp5629.jpeg)
49. Plant - 10 points
Front garden! Containers, since the back is shady so this is the best spot for succulents and herbs, and the front garden bed (where the diosma is). Better view of the dracaena, and the hoary basil (long black planter in the front middle, it's the plant on the left, the other is oregano). If you're looking for the card, it's tucked into the black aeonium, the dark purple-red succulent at the front, towards the left of centre.

This doesn't have the card because I took it a while back, but it's such an interesting one I gotta share :D Anyway, it's just for bonus points I don't need!

54. What mushroom did you share above? - 10 points
This is Aseroe rubra, the anemone stinkhorn! This is one of those delightful specimens that smells like carrion to attract flies to spread its spores, and was the very first Australian native fungi to be formally identified by Europeans, back in 1792! The genus name, Aseroe, derives from the Ancient Greek for 'disgust' and 'juice' ('rubra' just comes from the Latin for 'red'). It smells nasty and I removed it pretty quick after taking this photo back in May!
55. Have you ever gone (or would you go) foraging for mushrooms in real life? - 10 points
Nooo because I don't want to accidentally die. Do you know how similar-looking young Amanita phalloides looks to straw mushrooms??
