Green Elf Cup Genus and species: Chlorociboria aeruginascens, class: Leotiomycetes, phylum: Ascomycota. Representative for: Ascomycota. |

| not so> Lego trick, it doesn't have to be lego: while I prefer to make my builds 100% lego, sometimes I don't have the right pieces or enough of them in lego, so I have to use rip-offs. This was one of those cases. I didn't have long enough brown plates for my mycelium-stained log, so I used this Greenbrier piece instead. |
 |
| Bridal Veil Stinkhorn Genus and species: Phallus indusiatus, order: Phallales (stinkhorns and allies), phylum: Basidiomycota (club fungi). Representative for: Basidiomycota. |
 |
| Lego trick, connection via axle: I connected these two pieces with an axle. |
 |
| Mold Phylum: Zygomycota (zygote fungi). Representative for: Zygomycota. |
 |
| Lego trick, gradual growth: you can see in this photo that I used 1/1 plates below the spore-producing organs (flowers with black studs). You can also see I used a studded pin to attach a spore-producing organ. |
 |
| Chytrid Phylum: Chytridiomycota (chytrids). Representative for: Chytridiomycota. The photos for this LEGO® chytrid are grayscale because chytrids are microscopic, and all photography at that scale is in black and white. |
 |
| Lego trick, clickity-clack: If you hold onto the central part of this chytrid, you can shake it and turn it into a clacker! |
 |
| Common Milkweed Genus and species: Asclepias syriaca, clade: Dicotyledons (dicots), clade: Angiosperms (flowers). Representative for: Angiosperms. |
 |
| Lego trick, pin power: these studded pins are really good for connecting to pieces without using any studs. If you aren't satisfied with the pins' stud-on-each-side quality, you can add a tubular 1/1 brick on the non-studded side. |
 |
| Sphagnum Moss Genus: Sphagnum (peat moss), class: Sphagnopsida, phylum: Bryophyta (mosses). Representative for: Bryophyta. |
 |
| Lego trick, I can do this: I used garbage cans for the spore-producing organ of this moss, since it looks like similar to the spore producing organ of several mosses. I also added these 2/1 plates with grabbies for leaf things. |
 |
| Ostrich fern Genus and species: Mateuccia struthiopteris, order: Polypodiales (most ferns), phylum: Polypodiophyta (ferns). Representative for: Polypodiophyta. |
 |
| Lego trick, Dino dig: since ferns were a key organism during the time of dinosaurs, I decided to put a theropod skull on the back of my fern. Also, because my fern would be kinda boring otherwise. |
 |
| (tropical looking) Pine Genus: Pinus, order: Pinales, Clade: Gymnosperms. Representative for: Gynosperms. |
 |
| Lego trick, ecological extras: added this 2/1 brick with a hole for a pin since it looks like a woodpecker hole. Pine trees are essential to birds and other creatures, so planting them if you have space and time is a good idea. I added this cartoon of a Pileated Woodpecker mom feeding her kid. |
