I couldn't find a link for the mushroom, I'm sorry! 
This week was more low key than the prior vlog. I talked about repotting my lime tree, yard work to prepare the hardy bananas for winter and then went to Lowes home improvement. While shopping at Lowes I looked at the houseplants, but this wasn't really a plant shopping video. They did have some of the Raven ZZ plants from their trending tropicals line and now that I look back, I kind of want one, despite what I said in the video. LOL! When I got home I set up a new air filter the grow space, a vivosun 6 inch inline carbon filter. Later I had a doctors appointment with some very good news so I had a treat yo self moment and grabbed a few new plants from one of my local plant nurseries. 
The first plant I talked about is the zebra plant ( aphelandra squarrosa ) which is a fun and easy to grow houseplant that rewards with glossy yellow flowers, even inside the house. 
Next I moved onto talking about the Lifesaver Plant ( Huernia zebrina )
I had one of these amazing succulents for many years and was happy to find a new one. 
A plant I was surprised to see locally was the Philodendron birkin. These were once considered one of the more rare philodendrons, but I'm not sure they've deserved that classification. Perhaps the craze for them was just because they are a variegated philodendron and variegated plants tend to be the most trendy houseplants. Now that the price has come down, I am happy to have one to give a chance and maybe see what all of the craze is/was about. 
Lastly I got a gorgeous Rat tail cactus! After getting this plant I have found that there are multiple cactus with this name, some are larger, or girthy than others and there seem be some inconsistencies with naming for them as well. There is a mini rat tail cactus, regular and the names are all over the place as to which is what, partially because it would appear the plant got renamed and it must not have taken most the people writing about and selling them. I'll list the names in case anyone wants to read up on the mess that is the rat tail cactus. Oh, and I see, "rat tail" spelled both as one word and two. Urgh! Here are the names: Aporocactus flagelliformis, Disocactus flagelliformis, and cleistocactus winteri (golden rat tail cactus).
