The spoiler-free pitch is basically “Girlboss Sherlock Holmes, set in a pseudohistorical version of the Forbidden City”.

It’s definitely one of the more creative and interesting anime series right now. The art and production quality are stellar too.

Buzz off with lazy bullshit allegations when you don’t have the slightest clue what you’re looking for.

It’s a real artist, @sra_yecka on IG, there’s literally nothing about this image that suggests AI, and there are many things about it that an AI would be hard-pressed to reproduce.

…yo la compraría.

Speaking as a JJK stan: Every anime release has been so insanely peak that I can easily forgive the manga ending being shit. It’s just good art.

This is perfectly normal for chaga, save for the exceptionally phallic shape.

Inonotus obliquus is usually found on standing trees, looking like a large lump of blackened, crusty material, reminiscent of charcoal, thrusting itself through the tree’s bark.

This is pretty conclusive as H. Americanum, but you’re 100% free to call it Lion’s Mane outside of academic discussion with a mycologist.

All the similar Hericium species in this cluster are edible and cook similarly, so any further distinction is a matter of taxonomic interest rather than culinary — kinda like how P. Ostreatus is “the” oyster mushroom, but there are additional species (e.g. golden oysters) that fall under the general common-name umbrella of “oyster mushrooms”.

I spotted these while hiking and didn’t harvest, but I’ve had spathulata in the past and it’s quite nice!

I found the texture just a touch unpleasant when dry-sauteed (though I don’t know if that’s particular to the species, my cooking, or the specimen I was working with) — but I’ve heard people use it as a noodle-like texture in soups, and I think it would be perfect for that.

Is there a buried lede here? What’s noteworthy about an RC of a minor version release?
