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

  • How would you possibly splash dishes so high above the sink?

  • In the greater Seattle area it's about 50/50 whether a rental will have a dishwasher.

  • High sodium intake from too many processed foods can absolutely cause gout.

  • You now have gout from eating too many preservatives.

  • I've talked to a few translators who work on official subs and my understanding is that for simulcast subs like One Piece, they end up having to ship subpar translations with no editing because the deadlines are so ridiculous. So if they mishear a word or make a typo, they usually don't have time to fix it.

  • It's not showing up on my instance but I took a look on mander.xyz and unfortunately that pic doesn't show the ring or stem base which is what you really want to see for Amanita identification (their gills all look pretty similar).

    I'm pretty sure it's A. Aprica from just the first photo though due to the lack of striations and the flat vellar material attached to the cap margin.

  • Looks fake to me, the way the caps and stems are aligned doesn't make sense with how mushrooms grow and there's no way they could have an inrolled cap that flat without gills/pores running down the stem. There's no space for the cap to have unrolled into that shape.

  • That's super cool, I want to try morels but I haven't managed to find any.

  • 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).

  • And let those filthy aspergillus or god-forbid hypomyces have a say in how we run things? I think not, long-live King Muscaria of Amanitaceae!

  • Welcome to Japan Ms. Elf was largely about food and cooking.

    Cooking master boy is a great 90s anime about cooking battles similar to Yakitate! Japan which someone else already mentioned.

  • I would say probably T. Versicolor based on that, it's also generally more common in the PNW than T. Ochracea.

  • Wow, it looks halfway between a morel and a stinkhorn. I wonder what species.

  • 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.

  • What's wrong with just using Aurora instead?

  • 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.

  • An attempt was made:

  • The Empress Dowager is certainly holding on to some extremely complicated feelings she can't even tell anyone about. What a morally challenging character, I think I'm gonna have to chew on this one for a while.

  • Or slime molds which are, in fact, an ameoba.
