I'm just a person who does mycology for fun.

  • Challenging politicians to a duel to the death is actually the official method of removing them under Klingon law. So clearly the lesson here is that the system works.

  • This is pushing back against propaganda which is extremely important, she's one of the few Dems who's making an effort to do so instead of sitting back and allowing the right to control the narrative.

  • It's really common give up on Russula because of how impossible they are to get to species but you can learn to get them to section/group which I personally find worthwhile. It helps if you enjoy eating them like I do, I spent a lot of time figuring out how to ID Russula olympiana and the other PNW xerampelina group species because of how much I like using them to make vegetarian fish broth.

    The cap colors are often misleading as you noted but in many cases there are undertones you can learn to look for which are more consistent. For example, R. olympiana has this specific burgundy undertone mixed into whatever primary color the cap decided to be so I can usually tell before picking a Russula if it's possible for it to be R. olympiana or not. R. olympiana, R. emetica, and R. americana can all be "red" but they actually can't be the same shade of red if that makes sense.

  • And remove the seasoning?

  • Armillaria sp. aka Honey mushrooms, they're very aggressive so RIP to that tree. One of the world's largest living organisms is an Armillaria that spans over 2000 acres in Oregon.

  • Coprinus, it means "of poop" because a lot of them grow on dung, though this one usually prefers well-fertilized soil (which may or may not have manure in it).

  • They're more like nature's Jell-O shots.

  • People just liked it better that way.

  • It wasn't a certain group though, it was all Federation citizens being forced to leave a planet which was agreed in negotiations with Cardassia to have been rightful Cardassian territory which was illegally occupied by the Federation in the first place.

  • Eating them raw sounds gross (most mushrooms shouldn't be eaten raw but jelly fungi are fine raw) but if you candy and dehydrate them, the texture is just like a gummy bear.

  • It looks like Hypholoma capnoides (conifer tuft) which is edible but it's hard to say for sure.

    Hypholoma fasiculare (sulfur tuft) can look similar at this stage of development and is somewhere between "bitter and indigestible" and "mildly toxic".

  • I can identify these as Hypholoma sp. from the painting so great job.

  • It's from from "Scott Pilgrim takes off" which sort of a sequel to the Scott Pilgrim movie (it's complicated) but there's not much WLW in the series beyond this scene and an allusion to ||Knives and Kim having a vibe without actually having them hook up like they did in the comic||.

  • Developers don't have unions so we often just get left out of the credits anyways.

  • Clonidine

  • I would guess you're thinking of the white dapperling (Leucocoprinus leucothites). That one is supposed to be a pretty mediocre edible to begin with, absolutely not worth all the poisonous lookalikes it has.

  • I get ya, I've dropped several mushrooms because a surprise slug on the bottom was a little too close to my finger.

  • There's other differences as well such as death caps having a ring on the stem and a thicker cap which lacks the striation you see on the paddy straw mushroom (Vovariella sp.) and the edible Amanitas (grisettes, cocorras, etc.).

    They have deadly Amanitas in Asia too and they have many of the same features so Asian foragers should already know how to tell them apart.

  • A sudden uptick like this makes me think that AI photo ID apps may be to blame. They're nortoriously bad at identifying mushrooms partially because it's impossible to ID many mushrooms from a single photo which is unlikely to show all the features needed.
