  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 ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Fair point haha.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨kingdom come⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ 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.⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ 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.

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

  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.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Chanterelle update⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  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 ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  TIL there “smooth chanterelles” are a thing.

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

  Spiky chantrelles! I hope I find some this year.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My yard finds from today⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I agree with everyone saying the first ones look like chantrelles from the top but it’s important to check the bottom to confirm it has veins and not true gills.

  The second on looks more like an earthball (poison) than a puffball (tasty) but there are other possibilities. The best way to get an ID is to cut it in half lengthwise:

  • A puffball will be pure white or starting to turn blackish in the middle (don’t eat if it if it is)

  • an earthball will have a thicker skin and will be purple in the middle or brown if it’s further along

  • if you see a fully formed cap with gills it’s probably an Amanita button

  • if it’s uniformly marbled it’s probably a truffle

  • anything else is a probably a false truffle or a stinkhorn button

  I’m not sure about the last one but it’s interesting and I’d like to see more closeups.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Spathularia flavida + photos of spores inside asci⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  As a fellow cheap microscope owner, I feel ya. Thanks for sharing anyway.

  I have similarly bad photos of spores from a ‘Cudonia’ spp. I found which are also thin and hard to see (Cudonia is likely going to be combined with Spathularia because they’re so close genetically).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Two Orange Mushrooms, Not Sure What Kind⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The caps look pretty viscid, possibly some kind of Hygrocybe.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Spathularia flavida + photos of spores inside asci⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve never seen asci with anything but ovoid spores, the stringy ones look super cool!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The season is finally starting to pick up in my area⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The shadow on the gills looks brown to me.

  Also the general look of the gills (subdistant, beige slightly decurrent), combined with it being highly hygrophanous (based on the two-toned appearance cap photo and how you mentioned that it shriveled up really fast) makes me more confident in my suspect.

  I’m curious what you’re suspects are.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A little flush of wood ear⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  You can make some good szechuan dishes with these. I wonder if they’re better fresh than the dried ones you get from Asian markets.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The season is finally starting to pick up in my area⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m assuming brown spores by cinnamon beige gills so my top suspect is:

  Genus

  Tubaria

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Western Panther Cap (Amanita Pantherinoides) [PNW]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Bonus: the little round plants around the panther cap are Miner’s lettuce, an edible plant which grows during the spring in the Pacific Northwest. I’ve sampled them a couple times but never made an attempt to actually use them in a dish, they taste kinda like green/red leaf lettuce.

  I’m the opposite, I can tell some really difficult mushrooms apart due to good ol’ hyperfixation but I still know jack about plants and trees.

  I’m here for the rock facts but some of these character designs are super cringe.

  I assume the bigwigs wouldn’t let them make an anime about rocks unless it was also about boobs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Monster Hunter Wilds game reviews hit "Overwhelmingly Negative" on Steam — can Capcom turn it around?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  No they didn’t have dlc, that’s why they sold MHG as a full price disc despite the fact that it was the same game as Monster Hunter with extra content, the same as Iceborne for World or Sunbreak for Rise.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Monster Hunter Wilds game reviews hit "Overwhelmingly Negative" on Steam — can Capcom turn it around?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  World was just as bad at launch IMO. There was nothing worth doing post-story until Kulve Taroth came out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Monster Hunter Wilds game reviews hit "Overwhelmingly Negative" on Steam — can Capcom turn it around?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Because not every game needs an endgame but publishers demand long-tail monitization so devs tack one on anyway.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Monster Hunter Wilds game reviews hit "Overwhelmingly Negative" on Steam — can Capcom turn it around?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  G-rank was always a full price DLC that came a year or more later unless you skipped the base games (or Capcom didn’t localize them like with 4).
