  • Hypomyces are look more like molds growing on mushrooms than mushrooms growing on mushrooms. There are mushrooms that grow on other mushrooms like Squamantina or Claudopus parasiticus but they’re all pretty specialized to only grow on certain genera of mushrooms and I’m not aware of any that parasitic mushrooms that can grow on parasitic genera. I’m just a hobbyist though and I’ve only really studied mushrooms that grow in the Pacific Northwest so perhaps it exists somewhere.

    The only potential double-parasitism I can think of is that peppery boletes (Chalciporus piperatus), which are hypothesized to be parasitic on Amanita Muscaria’s mycelium because of how frequently they’re found together, could be infected with Bolete mold (Hypomyces chysospermus/microspermus).

    I actually would lean towards A. Aprica based on the stature and that the warts look pretty flat but it’s hard to really tell without seeing the underside and volva.

    Edit: I just noticed the margin of the cap isn’t striate (for those following along, there are no ridges at the edge of the cap where the gills are) so it’s almost certainly Amanita Aprica.

    If it is a Muscarioid, then A. Chrysoblema is probably correct because genetic testing has shown that all native PNW muscarioids are color forms of the same species/variety so we don’t need to worry about picking a variety from the color. A. Chrysoblema is one candidate for the correct name but it could also end up being that they’re all A. Muscaria Var. Flavivolvata (they all have off-white yellowish warts).

    For now I usually just call them all “Amanita Muscaria” and leave it at that.



  • I think my problem may have been that I scheduled chores based on how frequently I thought they “ought to be” done rather than how often my ADHD partner and ADHD self were realistically capable of. It led to a spiral of always being behind which led to us not checking the app or checking stuff off when we did it.

    The “time to do chores” daily reminder was completely unhelpful because I would always either ignore it because I wasn’t feeling up to cleaning or ignore it because I was already cleaning.

    We’ll probably give the app another go one of these days with a more relaxed schedule, hope you have better luck with it.

    You can answer honestly but it’s a greeting, not an invitation to take over the whole conversation to talk about yourself.

    Them: “How are you doing”

    You: “Pretty bad to be honest, but I’m hanging in there”

    And from there you either get:

    Them: “I’m sorry to hear that I hope it gets better”

    You: “Thanks”

    Them: “So I wanted to ask about your TPS reports…”

    Or :

    Them: “Oh no, what’s going on?”

    You: “Well I’m having a lot of mental health issues…”
