d_bellethorneDescription
Forty year old, 57" body length, fin whale skull. Deceased wash ashore in January 2022. Image post natural scavengers, human intervention, and natural decomposition. The only reason the skull is still there is it's too big for the locals' pick up trucks.

Spoonleaf × Round-leaved Sundew (Drosera × eloisiana)Observer
seanblaneyDescription
These plants appeared intermediate between D. intermedia & D. rotundifolia, having the general aspect of D. intermedia (tight, leafy clumps of somewhat erect leaves; semi-aquatic, seasonally exposed lakeshore habitat) but having some leaves quite wide like D. rotundifolia and most leaves wider than typical D. intermedia. No flowers were present, which is described as typical for this hybrid. @cdlew @f_rivadavia @thilokrueger - thanks!

Slime Molds (Phylum Mycetozoa)Observer
bradley60266Description
Greetings,
My son, Brad Jr, and I came across this unusual blue.."thing" on the Rachel Carson trail the other day. Could you please help us identify it?
The Slime mold community on Reddit says it is not slime mold.
The Insect Egg community on Reddit says it's not Insect eggs.
They were not very big ...the length of the strand maybe as long as your pinky finger and the blue tic tac looking things each were about half the size of a tic tac. It wasn't noticeable until you spotted it.... then it just stood out.

Are there genetically pure PBD in NZ anymore (I thought they have all been hybridised with Mallards?)

In a weedy “garden “
Pollinators like these flowers!
See also observation https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/175601312 from the same patch of ground
On 8/17 in response to my message to her came this informative note from Vanessa Voelker
"D. canescens is correct, and there is a particular combination of traits that set it apart from other Desmodium species:
big broad leaves, with relatively large and flared stipules
fairly hairy all over especially in the upper stem parts, with longer hairs than other Desmodium species
the upper branches bearing flowers are long and arching/dropping, rather than held ascending to erect"

Very strange specimens; super small. My best guess would be young Monotropa hypopithys, but I'm still not sure.
EDIT: I visited the specimens again today to nab some better shots.

This is how you would normally see mature specimens, just pushing up the duff layer. The buttons are not visible most of the time, just mounds of pine needles.
