Its note
Splashery stretches a drumhead over this Splash's outline, twelve inches across, and finds the ways it can ring. Its lowest is 575.3 Hz, 136 cents flat of E♭5, the nearest tine on the comb. The next fifteen are its overtones, and each one draws its own figure: sand gathers on the lines that stay still.

About it
A small mushroom on the forest floor, captured from photos and drawn with splats. What you see is only the fruiting body; most of a fungus is a web of thin threads called mycelium that spreads through soil and wood and feeds on dead leaves.
Tap it and the patch of forest floor is lifted a little and set down with a bump. Drag to circle it and look at the orange cap, the wood chips and the green seedlings around it.
