r/fasciation

i work with flowers and found this mutant aster

one of my strawberries grew like this: 👻! is it fasciation or something else?

Not mine, marvelled at it at the Chelsea Flower Show succulent/cacti stand.

I dug this little oak up out of my yard and thought it would be fun to keep to see how it develops. It survived the digging and the repotting Way better than most of my experiments. It will be interesting to see how it develops over time.

Found these while mowing last week.

These little babies are growing well :) I just realized that the older leaf in the first pic is probably the same succulent as the fresher one? (I was prop lifting two different days lol) So now I feel pretty convinced that the second one is fasciated, and wanted to share and get your opinions here! I also don’t even know what exact succulent these are so if anyone could maybe help me with ID too I’d appreciate it! I’m still kinda new to succulents.

Context- a normal branch broke off and seems to be doing some mutation (Ironically, this sub was suggested to me a few weeks ago and I just stumbled upon this in my yard the other day, wild timing!)

Found this in my backyard while walking around, it’s past its culinary prime, if it even is a morel… I have NEVER seen anything like this. It easily weighs a pound, maybe more. I’m blown away. What do y’all think?

Editing to answer some questions:

I live in Western Massachusetts. The wood chips were from cherry and Norwood trees that we took down and milled and chipped about a year ago, spread the chips around the yard to suffocate some weeds. The yard was long neglected before we moved in. I have been very busy and have not been down to that lower portion of the yard for a couple of weeks. I found 2 others, one the size of my fist and the other with just the stalk remaining. Also some wood ears.

These two are very odd, but the multi stem looks like licorice haha

I just learned the name for this mutation and the next day I looked down and saw this native ranunculus while doing garden work. I’ve seen it in flowers but never knew what it was!

I thought this was a foxglove but now I’m not sure. We do have some white ones in the yard. (Zone 8a, Georgia)
