I really don’t know where I’m going with this. Is it mossy or diseased? Work in progress. Might chuck it out the window.

Roundish wood slice with burned and painted design showing an orange octopus sitting underneath red and white amanita mushrooms. He has tiny white mushrooms growing on him and green places that could be moss or disease, who knows 🤷‍♀️

New species of octopus discovered in a deep-sea canyon csiro.au/en/news/All/News/2025

"The Carnarvon Flapjack #Octopus is a gelatinous #DeepSea octopus that grows to around 4 centimetres diameter... It's the 10th and latest #NewSpecies to be described from specimens collected during a 2022 voyage by RV Investigator... The #FlapjackOctopus is a deep-sea shape shifter with the ability to flatten its body to resemble a pancake—or flapjack—or to pull itself up to look like a tiny gelatinous umbrella."

3) A MONK BREAKS HIS VOWS:

In 1249 a monk from Eifuku-ji (now revived) called Zenkō (善光) went to the market to buy octopus for his seriously ill mother. By doing so he broke his strict Buddhist vows.
A neighbor, seeing Zenkō make his purchase, loudly called out the monk😰

is this a sign of #ClimateChange ? I didn't think #octopus were common on the coast of #England - but they are apparently causing problems to some #fishermen as they are eating all the other #shellfish (I'm allergic to all of them so this doesn't bother me)

@purplelime we’re very happy with #octopus

They seem very transparent and I love that when you do have issues or questions, you can call, speak to a person who speaks human & doesn’t spout corporate bs at you, and who does whatever they can to fix the problem or explains clearly why they can’t

We’re all electric , with solar PV & a heat pump and are also very happy with the deal we have

I have had dealings thro my son with Eon. They are polar opposites in my experience

I've spent a couple of hours this morning helping to ID the latest observations uploaded to #iNaturalistNZ. It's always interesting to see what species New Zealanders have been finding. While I can help to ID a lot of plants and insects, octopuses I cannot, so we'll wait for a marine expert on that one. Still, look at it! Baby octopus!
