Some vulvas are pretty. Most aren’t. Some do smell weird, I imagine most will in the right wrong set of conditions. I like going down on them, but it isn’t because of their beauty.

No, America was founded by corporate towns, but it was religious fanatics that really swollen its ranks.

You can safely pick the mushrooms to take pictures of the underside and pry them apart to show internal structure and color changes when the insides are exposed to air. These will help identification.
It’s like picking a flower from a bush, the mushroom is just the reproductive organ. The body of the organism is in the substrate (dirt, pant, etc).

They don’t react to touch. You’d have to stare at them for a while to notice anything, all footage I’ve seen are timelapses. And I think they don’t move at all when sporulating.

- Comment on Gomphaceae Consuming A Pinecone. More Examples Inside. 4 weeks ago:
Oh that’s cool! The Poderosa pine is the only one I recognize, and I think that’s because of a misguided attempt at “reforestation” that used this non native plant. The Araucária is the only native pine-like I know, but I don’t know whether you’d call its massive dry fruit a pinecone. Tasty seeds, though.

The thin spindly ones? I’m from south of the equator, we don’t have a huge variety of pines here. Never seen anything like that.
- Comment on Just a little guy 4 weeks ago:
Most of the mushrooms are actually edible, but taste bad. Only a handful are worth the trouble of positively identifying for their gourmet appeal, but it’s cool to learn about all of them.
