The first time I posted a picture of this plant, someone from Rio Grande do Sul made a very interesting comment. He said that when Maricá blooms in late Summer is a sign of a harsh Winter.
The plant is quite abundant in Rio Grande do Sul, and long ago people have observed this connection between the late flowering of Maricá, and the characteristics of a stricter Winter.
Can it be true?
I photographed the plant in Minas, abundantly flowery in March. Winter has not yet started officially but in my hometown many are complaining of much lower than usual temperatures for Autumn. Let's see now how Winter will be ...
Scientific Name: The tree belongs to the Mimosaceae family, species Mimosa Bimucronata, "Maricá" in our idiom.
Features: Tree or shrub that can reach up to 15 m high and 40 cm in diameter in adulthood. It is a pioneer plant, aggressive, used in soil improvement, important in native essence reforestation for the recovery of degraded areas. It is not a long -lived plant (20 to 30 years).
Very flowering and ornamental, with scented flowers in a pompom shape, which attracts the bees. The fruits are quite showy and with red color.
Places of Occurrence: Occurs naturally in the states of Bahia, Alagoas, Espírito Santo, Minas Gerais, Paraíba, Pernambuco, Paraná, Rio de Janeiro, Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul.
It is adapted to soils poorly drained with sandy texture, but develops in stony soils, rock outcrops and wet slopes. It also develops well in fertile soils with adequate physical properties. The seedlings should be planted in full sun.
Wood is used in carpentry and as a source of energy (firewood and coal). The plant still has a high cellulose content, and is used in folk medicine. It is being widely used as a living fence in southern Brazil.

The "Pink paineira" is a very popular tree, and this is mainly due to its extraordinary beauty and its curious fruit. The wood of the pink paineira is quite light, soft and not very resistant, in addition to not having good durability. It can be used in the manufacture of shoes, boxes, cellulose and handicrafts.
The red-spotted flowers can come in different shades of pink, depending on the variety.
The fruit is quite large and opens when ripe, releasing a good amount of silky woven, interspersed with seeds that are carried by the wind. The "paina" is a fine and silky fiber, but not very resistant, not of great use in the manufacture of fabrics, but as a filling for pillows, cushions and plush.

A fungus (plural: fungi) is a kind of living organism: yeasts, moulds and mushrooms are types of fungi. The fungi are a separate kingdom of living things, different from animals and plants. Fungi have cells with nuclei. Their cell walls contain chitin, unlike the cell walls of plants, which contain cellulose.

The François' langur is a striking Old World monkey distinguished by its silky, jet-black fur and iconic white sideburns that run from the corners of its mouth to its ears. Atop its head, a pointed crest of black hair gives it a permanent, dignified appearance.
Native to the subtropical forests of southern China and northern Vietnam, these monkeys are master climbers, specifically adapted to navigating steep, craggy cliffs and deep caves. Interestingly, while the adults are entirely black and white, their infants are born with bright orange fur—a biological trait believed to help the troop easily keep track of the youngsters in the dense shadows of the forest.
Their feeding habits revolve almost entirely around leaves. Their diet is supplemented by occasional fruits, seeds, and flowers, but leaves remain their primary source of nutrition. Because mature leaves are difficult to digest and contain low energy, these langurs have evolved a complex, sacculated stomach similar to that of a cow. This allows them to use bacterial fermentation to break down tough plant cellulose and neutralize toxins found in certain foliage. Because their diet is relatively low in calories, they spend a large portion of their day resting to conserve energy while their digestive systems work.
Their social and breeding habits are centered around a polygynous structure, typically consisting of one dominant male, several females, and their offspring. Breeding does not follow a strict seasonal calendar, though births often peak in late winter or early spring.
A fascinating aspect of their social life is "allomothering," where other females in the group assist the mother in carrying and grooming the bright orange infant. This communal care allows the mother more time to forage and provides younger females with vital parenting experience. In their natural habitat, they generally live to be about 20 to 25 years old.
Beyond their appearance, several facts make the François' langur a unique primate. They are among the few "limestone specialists" in the animal kingdom, often retreating into limestone caves at night to sleep, which provides protection from predators and extreme weather.
Despite their agility, they are currently classified as an endangered species due to habitat loss and hunting. They are also incredibly quiet compared to other primates, relying more on visual signals and subtle vocalizations to communicate within the dense, echoing karst landscape

Unknown broken mushroom for the Macro Mondays theme: "Vowel"
Happy Macro Monday!!!

Update:
It is identified as “Mycena galopus (Bonnet)” .
Info (English) found on WiKi:
"Mycena galopus, commonly known as the milking bonnet or the milk-drop mycena, is an inedible species of fungus in the family Mycenaceae of the order Agaricales. It produces small mushrooms that have grayish-brown, bell-shaped, radially-grooved caps up to 2.5 cm (1 in) wide. The gills are whitish to gray, widely spaced, and squarely attached to the stem. The slender stems are up to 8 cm (3 in) long, and pale gray at the top, becoming almost black at the hairy base. The stem will ooze a whitish latex if it is injured or broken.
The variety nigra has a dark gray cap, while the variety candida is white. All varieties of the mushroom occur during summer and autumn on leaf litter in coniferous and deciduous woodland.
Mycena galopus is found in North America and Europe. The saprobic fungus is an important leaf litter decomposer, and able to utilize all the major constituents of plant litter. It is especially adept at attacking cellulose and lignin, the latter of which is the second most abundant renewable organic compound in the biosphere. The mushroom latex contains chemicals called benzoxepines, which are thought to play a role in a wound-activated chemical defense mechanism against yeasts and parasitic fungi."

"Melksteelmycena
De melksteelmycena (Mycena galopus) is een schimmel uit de familie Mycenaceae. De soort komt in Nederland voor.
De melksteelmycena heeft een kegel- tot klokvormige hoed van 1-2 cm breed. De hoed is wit en fijngestreept door de lamellen, die enigszins door de hoed heen zichtbaar zijn. De lamellen zijn wit, staan breed uiteen en zijn aangehecht. De tot 8 cm hoge steel is slank (2-3 mm), glad en licht van kleur. Bij beschadiging scheidt de steel een wit melksap af, wat de soort zijn naam heeft gegeven.
De variëteit Mycena galopus var. nigra heeft een bruinzwarte hoed en steel.
De melksteelmycena komt vanaf juni tot de late herfst algemeen voor op rottend hout en strooisel in loof- en naaldbossen."

Herstellung
Der Vorgang ähnelt dem Siebdruck. Jedoch wird hier statt Farbe eine Ätzpaste aufgetragen, die Teile des Gewebes durch Ätzen zerstört. Dieser Vorgang wird als ausbrennen bezeichnet.
Das Grundgewebe ist grundsätzlich gemischt aus mindestens zwei verschiedenen Faserstoffen. Ein Faserstoff (meist synthetisch wie z. B. Polyester) wird durch die Ätzpaste nicht beschädigt. Der andere (meist zellulosische wie beispielsweise Baumwolle, Leinen, Viskose) wird beim Ätzen entfernt. Darum entsteht an der ausgebrannten Stelle kein Loch, sondern ein transparenterer Bereich.
Neben Geweben können auch Gewirke ausgebrannt werden. Voraussetzung ist auch hier, dass zwei verschiedene Materialien verarbeitet werden müssen.

Devoré (also called burnout) is a fabric technique particularly used on velvets, where a mixed-fibre material undergoes a chemical process to dissolve the cellulose fibers to create a semi-transparent pattern against more solidly woven fabric. The same technique can also be applied to textiles other than velvet, such as lace or the fabrics in burnout t-shirts.[1]
Devoré comes from the French verb dévorer, meaning literally to devour.

Devoré (auch Ausbrennen genannt) ist eine Stofftechnik,
die vor allem bei Samt verwendet wird. Dabei wird ein Mischfasermaterial einem chemischen Prozess unterzogen, um die Zellulosefasern aufzulösen und ein halbtransparentes Muster auf einem fester gewebten Stoff zu erzeugen.
Die gleiche Technik kann auch auf andere Textilien als Samt angewendet werden, z. B. auf Spitze oder die Stoffe von Burnout-T-Shirts.
Devoré kommt von dem französischen Verb dévorer,
was wörtlich übersetzt "verschlingen" bedeutet.

Ganoderma lucidum, commonly known as the shiny lacquer polypore or "Reishi", is a perennial bracket fungus from the family Ganodermataceae. It typically grows on dead or weakened hardwoods, especially oak and beech, and as a white-rot fungus it plays an important role in the decomposition of lignin and cellulose. Its fruiting bodies are characterized by a hard, shelf-like form with a dark reddish-brown, varnished surface and a distinctly white growth margin. In traditional East Asian medicine, Ganoderma lucidum has been highly valued for over 2000 years and is often referred to as the "mushroom of immortality".
We learn to walk around with a mask that floods us with cellulosic odor and forces us to breathe badly (inhale and exhale).
We know it is a necessary evil and we resign ourselves.
But how many pandemics are out there and so we conclude:
After all, it's true that we are beings prone to masks 🎭 !
"Oh people of my Planet, how sad False Living!"
Aprendemos a circular com uma máscara que nos inunda de odor celulósico e nos obriga a respirar mal (inspirar e expirar).
Sabemos que é um mal necessário e resignamo-nos.
Mas quantas pandemias andam por aí e assim concluímos:
Afinal é verdade somos seres propensos ás mascaras 🎭 !

Cotton is a soft, fluffy staple fiber that grows in a boll, or protective case, around the seeds of the cotton plants of the genus Gossypium in the mallow family Malvaceae. The fiber is almost pure cellulose. Under natural conditions, the cotton bolls will increase the dispersal of the seeds.
The plant is a shrub native to tropical and subtropical regions around the world, including the Americas, Africa, and India. The greatest diversity of wild cotton species is found in Mexico, followed by Australia and Africa. Cotton was independently domesticated in the Old and New Worlds.
The fiber is most often spun into yarn or thread and used to make a soft, breathable textile. The use of cotton for fabric is known to date to prehistoric times; fragments of cotton fabric dated from 5000 BC have been excavated in Mexico and between 6000 BC and 5000 BC in the Indus Valley Civilization. Although cultivated since antiquity, it was the invention of the cotton gin that lowered the cost of production that led to its widespread use, and it is the most widely used natural fiber cloth in clothing today.
Current estimates for world production are about 25 million tonnes or 110 million bales annually, accounting for 2.5% of the world's arable land. China is the world's largest producer of cotton, but most of this is used domestically. The United States has been the largest exporter for many years. In the United States, cotton is usually measured in bales, which measure approximately 0.48 cubic meters (17 cubic feet) and weigh 226.8 kilograms (500 pounds).
