  Those are usually more orange, this just looks like a Peziza sp. to me.

  Apologies to anyone still seeing duplicates of this post, programming.dev was running slow when I tried to post it and Jeroba was giving me timeout errors so I retried a few times 😅.

  Those are some gorgeous turkey tails.

  Maybe but the slight scaliness makes me think it might be Laccaria.

  Here’s a chart from the Pacific Northwest. Only the top left quarter are actual pine cones but if you asked someone here what a “regular pinecone” is, they’d probably pick the Douglas fir cone (though TBF, “what kind of tree is a Douglas fir?” mystified science for decades).

  Plus all the other conifers with cones that get referred to"pinecones".

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Just a little guy⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s pretty simple to gain the knowledge, learn an edible species, learn the lookalikes, and maybe take them to a local mycology club and ask for an ID confirmation the first few times to make sure.

  If you avoid little brown mushrooms and pure white mushrooms, know what a deathcap looks like, and don’t spend years eating Paxillus involutus without ever looking it up, then you’re not going to end up eating any deadly or psychedelic species.

  What’s a normal pinecone?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Found in the Northern Alps, any clue what that is?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s a shaggy mane Coprinus comatus or a similar species.

  It’s the icon for this community.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I Found A Purple Mushroom⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  There are a few deadly Corts but those tend to be reddish instead of purple. Corts are very under-studied in general so there are are many with absolutely zero info about them (usually because they’re nearly identical to several others) and the deadly ones have a delay before they destroy your kidneys so it’s generally not a good idea to even try.

  Inocybe are generally “days of your body attempting to purge out of every orifice” poisonous which usually won’t kill you unless you become too dehydrated.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I Found A Purple Mushroom⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s probably a Cortinarius sp. and probably poison. There’s an edible purple cort but I think it’s usually a lot darker purple.

  I love how it towers over those tiny mushrooms growing around it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Very handsome bolete⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Looks like a Leccinum sp. nice find.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Popped up quickly in one of my potted plants⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Luckily, this is one of the ones that’s obvious from this angle. Also “growing in a potted plant” is a really useful piece of information for mushroom identification because it narrows down common possibilities a ton.

  TBH I started to care about raw denim a little.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Popped up quickly in one of my potted plants⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  These are actually called “flowerpot parasols”, complex Leucocoprinus brebissonii. They’re a harmless saprophyte originally from the tropics, they love orchid bark which is why they show up in flowerpots so often.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Disney sells us imaginary heroes while supporting real world villains.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Nah, they’re morally grey/bad in Eyes of Wakanda. The point of the show is to explore how messed up their isolationism was. That’s why the last episode is about ||a time Traveller making sure that Killmonger spurs T’challa to finally end their isolationist policy so they don’t doom themselves and the world||.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Honey mushrooms⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ah we have those here too, they’re pretty widespread. Taking a spore print is a surefire way to tell them apart: cut off a cap and put it on a piece of foil, then put a cup over it. After a few hours you’ll either have white spores (Armillaria) or brown spores (Galerina).

  IMO Galerina Marginata don’t really look much like honey mushrooms once you’re familiar with them. Honey mushrooms have scales on the stem and sometimes the cap depending on the species which Galerina never have. Galerina also tend to be smaller with insubstantial cap flesh and thinner stems. Both grow in clusters but Galerina grows in smaller clusters of 3-5 vs 10 or more.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I am interested in mushroom/fungi local names⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Sadly, most mushrooms don’t have common names in English and have extremely boring translated Latin names.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hypholoma sp.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Likely H. capnoides, checking the button for green gills would have told you for sure. You can also spit test to differentiate them (H. fasciculare is bitter).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Borderlands 4 boss tells players "please get a refund from Steam if you aren't happy" as Randy Pitchford continues his very public crashout over the FPS's performance woes⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think that sticker just means you sent Nvidia a pre-release build so they had time to add game-specific hacks to their drivers before your launch.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Randy Pitchford Snaps Back at Borderlands 4 Criticism: 'Code Your Own Engine'⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s a process called certification you need to pass in order to release on a console where they test your game against a list of criteria outlined in the developer agreement to validate stability, minimum performance,and conformance with platform standards. Nintendo pioneered this process (the Nintendo seal of quality) in response to unauthorized developers releasing cartridges which ran poorly and could freeze or even cause damage to consoles.

  For a while, console manufacturers pretty strict about certification requirements but as time goes on they’ve been granting more and more exceptions to large publishers willing to pay fees and pinky-promise to fix the issues post-launch.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Honey mushrooms⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Out of curiosity, what’s the lookalike?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Shrooms I saw on a walk⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Looking more like a Chlorophyllum now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨smörgåsbord⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The ones in the middle look like Hypholoma but are they the tasty capnoides or the non-tasty fasiculare?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anyone know what this is?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They’re pretty out of focus but it looks like a curtain crust Stereum sp..

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Still getting dunked on in Dota 2? Don't worry, even Gabe Newell gets called a noob once a week, apparently⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Being a dev on a competitive multiplayer game means getting wrecked every playtest by balance designers and community managers who used to be pros/streamers.
