What a Fungi.
Un Champignon Heureux.
Yeah, it’s an entirely bitchin’ tree fungus and it spins, but only very slowly. Don’t know what brand it is, but it’s on the north side of a tree somewhere in Cooper Mountain Nature Park, Beaverton Oregon.
WARNING:
Never eat this kind of found stuff unless you have a microscope and can positively identify the spores, and then don’t eat it anyway, even if you cook it. Some fungi can kill within an hour, others in painful hours or days, others do it silently without symptoms. You won’t know what happened until you wake up dead. [More here.]

Welcome To The House of Fungus
Nice and cozy, but a bit damp and musty. On the plus side, you can kick the walls, release some spores, and grow your own neighborhood.

Update: Apparently it’s part of the Kids Activity and Learning Centre at Soneva Kiri Resort:
Soneva Kiri by Six Senses is located on Koh Kood, a remote island situated in the east of Thailand, known for its pure waterfalls, crystal clear waters and traditional village life.
Bloody Mushrooms with Teeth
The Blood-Tooth Mushroom
“The young fruitbody is spongy and characteristically exudes droplets of red fluid. Later the fruitbody becomes tougher and teeth develop on the underside.”
That appears to be a good description of some members of congress, especially the part about developing teeth on the underside. Ugh. I wouldn’t lick it.
BUT if I did I’d prolly run for Senator… and win. My soul would be gone forever, and I’d be sitting on dentures in my old age and talking out my posterior, just like most Senators. Gives me the willies.
