  Significance is just a concept humans made up to make ourselves feel bad.

  Welcome, to Nightvale

  Agreed, here’s an earthball cross-section for comparison:

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The pointiest Chroogomphus I have ever come across⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I think you’re right, that Suillus looks like S. tomentosus which grows with two-needle pine and I see a bunch of two-needle bundles in your photo. C. ochraceus is a complex but one of them is supposed to parasitize S. tomentosus so you’ve probably got whichever that one is.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Possibly "scaly shield" (Pluteus petasatus)⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Hm I guess petasatus just has browner spores than most Pluteus, the spore print here looks similar.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Possibly "scaly shield" (Pluteus petasatus)⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Was it growing on wood at least?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The pointiest Chroogomphus I have ever come across⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Nice find, the host/parasite pairings for boletes are usually species-specific so if you can ID either mushroom to species, you’ll know what the other one is as well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Possibly "scaly shield" (Pluteus petasatus)⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe it’s the lighting but that spore print looks more brown than pink. Otherwise it looks enough like P. Petasatus IMO.

  That was a Terminator 2 thumbs up, definitely dead.

  Or blocking off the aisle you need to go down for unclear purposes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Interesting shelf fungi (Trichaptum sp.)⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m surprised there’s no algae on them given how much is on the tree, I’m used to seeing lots of green on the caps.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Colony of waxcaps (Hygrocybe sp.)⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  A couple of the small ones look super fuzzy, I wonder if there’s a mold attacking them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Could this be green elfcup?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Could be, I’ve never seen Chlorociboria stain through bark like that but the wood without bark is the right color for it.

  Congrats, awesome find!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Episode] The Summer Hikaru Died • Hikaru ga Shinda Natsu - Episode 6 discussion⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  At the beginning of the the episode we’re back to “maybe everything will be fine if I pretend this isn’t happening”. The problem with Yoshiki’s thought experiment is that it isn’t actually a good analogy to the situation: Nonuki isn’t Hikaru, it has its own personality and values and is just pretending to be Hikaru. Which becomes clear by the end of the episode when Nonuki once again tries to murder someone.

  There’s no explicit reason AFAIK but Nonuki said “impurities” try to latch on to a person out of loneliness and Yoshiki’s sister looked at the wig ghost which may have made it try to latch on to her the way the long-necked lady did when Yoshiki’s looked at her.

  Agreed, the “shit I’m old” beer coozie in the foreground is a dead giveaway it’s a Spencer’s.

  Any idea why you’re getting mutations?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨kingdom come⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Fair point haha.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨kingdom come⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Fungi only got its own kingdom in 1969, before that they were a phylum in Plantae. There are tons of people still around who learned “mushrooms are plants” in school, so it’s not surprising downstream vocabulary hasn’t caught up.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨One Of The Largest Mushrooms I've Found. Cricket For Scale.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s got a Pluteus vibe but it looks like it’s growing on the ground, there could be a buried piece of wood there or it could be Volvopluteus or Volvariela. The only way to tell would be to carefully dig out the base and see if it has a volva or if it’s growing out of wood.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A spruce and a mushroom⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve never seen such a small Suillus, I’m used to them being pretty sizeable.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amanita muscaria subsp. flavivolvata⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Not sure where you’re at but in the PNW they peak in the fall but they can also be found year-round.

  They were popping up on the peninsula in June but I didn’t see any on this side of the sound and now it’s been a while since we’ve hadany rain so not much is growing period.

  I knew the black chantrelles don’t have many veins but we don’t get any of the smooth orange species up in WA.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Chanterelle update⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  TIL there “smooth chanterelles” are a thing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Guepinia helvelloides - Apricot Jelly⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t really get why they called it “helvelloides” it doesn’t really look like an elfin saddle (genus Helvella) to me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Depressed Hedgehog :(⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Spiky chantrelles! I hope I find some this year.
