- Comment on Monster Hunter Wilds game reviews hit "Overwhelmingly Negative" on Steam — can Capcom turn it around? 5 days 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.

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

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

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).

Squirrels will actually hang mushrooms in a tree to dry them so they can keep them in their winter food store. They’re always pulling the caps off my Xerocomellus late in the season.

Ok so those very small pores, if the brackets are thin and flexible it’s likely T. Versicolor. Otherwise probably T. Ochracea.
- Comment on Growing in a mango tree (more pics inside) 6 days ago:
Hypzizgus maybe? I can’t quite make out the gill attachment and whether those are spots or scales on the cap. It would be great if you could pick one and take some close ups.
- Comment on Alpine Jelly Cone 6 days ago:
They don’t grow in snow while temperatures are still freezing or anything, they grow using the moisture from melting snow once the weather starts to warm up. They just pop up so quickly that you’ll often find them poking out of snowbanks which haven’t fully melted.
- Comment on Anyone know what this is? 6 days ago:
Looks like Trametes spp. AKA “Turkey tails”, they look a bit too thick to be T. Versicolor (the turkey tail) but they could be a different one.
To get a better id, could you please post a close up of the underside? Also, run your finger over the pores on the bottom to see if they change colors when bruised (they probably won’t if I’m right about it being Trametes but worth checking).
Trametes usually grow on dead wood rather than parasitizing live wood so your tree is probably in rough shape.

Hypomyces are look more like molds growing on mushrooms than mushrooms growing on mushrooms. There are mushrooms that grow on other mushrooms like Squamantina or Claudopus parasiticus but they’re all pretty specialized to only grow on certain genera of mushrooms and I’m not aware of any that parasitic mushrooms that can grow on parasitic genera. I’m just a hobbyist though and I’ve only really studied mushrooms that grow in the Pacific Northwest so perhaps it exists somewhere.
The only potential double-parasitism I can think of is that peppery boletes (Chalciporus piperatus), which are hypothesized to be parasitic on Amanita Muscaria’s mycelium because of how frequently they’re found together, could be infected with Bolete mold (Hypomyces chysospermus/microspermus).

And let those filthy aspergillus or god-forbid hypomyces have a say in how we run things? I think not, long-live king Muscaria of Amanitaceae!
- Comment on 10 Best Anime About Cooking & Food 2 months ago:
Welcome to Japan Ms. Elf was largely about food and cooking.
Cooking master boy is a great 90s anime about cooking battles similar to Yakitate! Japan which someone else already mentioned.

The Empress Dowager is certainly holding on to some extremely complicated feelings she can’t even tell anyone about. What a morally challenging character, I think I’m gonna have to chew on this one for a while.

Someone had to eventually to tell them they need to stop pretending they aren’t dating and “he’s a coward and you’re a child” was an amazingly blunt way to do it. What a good big sis.

I felt so bad for her in that scene, when the emperor starts making fun of you there’s no choice but to sit there and take it.

Cha Hae-in’s deal continues to be mysterious considering how little she’s done with all the screentime she gets (besides provide cringy fanservice). I was initially thinking she might be another Player but her dislike of the smell of hunters raises the possibility that she’s either a magical beast herself (perhaps summoned by some hunter’s skill) or has some class that uses monster abilities like a blue mage or something.

It seemed to me that all the S-classes had the ability to sense magical power.

It’s a good thing the mold they found in the tomb wasn’t harmful to people with a well functioning immune system or else spending hours studying samples there with no PPE would have been really stupid.

The point about the contents of the vault having mostly sentimental value may have gone over better if not for the pile of gold in there.
- Comment on ZENSHU • Zenshuu. - Episode 3 discussion 5 months ago:
I love that she inadvertently fixed the sexist damsel in distress character just by pointing out that she could have agency (and giving her a role model).
I assume Serval Cat Mask was inspired by Kinnikuman as that’s the only pro-wrestling anime I know of and the moves looked pretty similar.
- Comment on Headhunted to Another World: From Salaryman to Big Four! • Salaryman ga Isekai ni Ittara Shitennou ni Natta Hanashi - Episode 3 discussion 5 months ago:
Not the most interesting episode but we learned a little more about the world:
- The Demon King’s country is poor and has a poor diet, perhaps that’s why he seems like such a good guy.
- Demons have “totally legitimate cultural reasons” for wearing skimpy outfits. While this is obviously an excuse for fan service, it does raise the question of whether the Demon King is actually a demon.
One thing I’m still not sure about is whether the izakaya Dennosuke visits is a real place in the world, a real place outside the world, or a construct of his mind.
- Comment on In your opinion, what is the best English localization of an anime name? 5 months ago:
Delicious in Dungeon is intended to be shortened to “D in D” which is meant to sound like D&D or Dungeons and Dragons.
- Comment on ZENSHU • Zenshuu. - Episode 2 discussion 5 months ago:
It seems like the point of this show is to give MAPPA animators the opportunity to take their shot at a bunch of classic anime scenes. Episode 1 they did the giant warrior from Nausicaa and episode 2 is a Macross missile massacre.
The plot interesting enough so far, while this show did turn out to be an isekai, at least it’s an old-school “learn a lession” isekai and not a pointless power fantasy in a video-gamey world like the recent inescapable trend.

I love the “We’ll need some time to consider your offer, thank you for meeting with us” response to the Ogre king being unreasonable. I knew Japanese businessmen have the most polite methods of telling you to fuck off so it was really interesting to have an explanation of the reasoning behind it.
I’m enjoying this series so far, here’s hoping it stays focused on effective business strategies and less on Harem nonsense. So far Dennosuke is staying professional and oblivious to Urmander’s obvious crush on him which is pretty funny so maybe that will be the running gag.

Really uncool of Amagi to induce an epileptic seizure on two standing patients to prove a point.
