Ein Foto eines dicken Baumstammes in einem Waldgebiet, der etwas mit dunkelgrünem Moos bedeckt ist, umgeben von unzähligen weißen Frühlingsknotenblumen mit leuchtend grünen Stängeln.

What at first glance looks like the caps of reddish fungi on a tree trunk, turns out to be the large fruiting bodies of an epiphytic peltigera lichen.

But of course, lichens are part fungi. So in that sense, the initial judgement wasn't wrong!

The magic of an Irish rainforest.

To the women who create, nurture, endure and still rise.
Your strength echoes through the past, your courage is alive in the present, and your spirit quietly shapes what’s ahead.
Let’s celebrate women every day, not just today. 🌸✨

Costa Rica gets back to nature after decades of deforestation Paying farmers to swap cattle for conservation has helped sway the balance in biodiversity’s favour

Where Ireland has failed, Costa Rica has succeeded ... and then some!

Hidden under ivy and old stone,
they rise like quiet forest lanterns, fragile, golden, alive. 🍄✨
The earth is always whispering, if you lean close enough. #MushroomMonday

Study: Modest moss supports billions of tons of carbon storage Plant life plays a crucial role in fighting climate change by absorbing and transforming greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide. For instance, over its lifetime, a tree can absorb more than a ton of car...

Mosses are a force of nature - save them
Mosses sequester around 6.43 billion metric tons more carbon in the soil than is stored in the bare patches of soil without any plants

Mosses can thrive in challenging environments where other plants struggle to survive.

"But I don't want to go among mad people," Alice remarked.

"Oh, you can't help that," said the Cat. "We're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad."

"How do you know I'm mad?" said Alice.

"You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn't have come here."

Illustration depicting a group of fairies dancing around a tree, a 'fairy ring' of mushrooms partly visible at their feet. There is a full moon, and a bat is in flight in the distance.

The return of the swallows has long been a quiet sign that spring has truly begun in Ireland. In old belief, their arrival meant winter had loosened its grip. A swallow nesting by your home was considered a blessing, a promise of warmth and renewal 💚🌿🐦

Irish folklore holds that generosity in winter brought blessing. A warm meal or drink offered to a stranger could be a test in disguise, as the poor, the wandering, or the unknown might carry luck, or misfortune with them. #FolkloreSunday
