Not unless we stop reposting content from other social media which would make Lemmy even more dead than it already is.

I pronounce “pecan” pea-kahn unless it’s a pea-can pie.

I finally found a stylist who I legitimately enjoy talking to so now they’re the only one I get haircuts from.

This is me emailing mycologists to ask if they want to sequence any of the unusual mushrooms I found.

They do a decent job portraying the family dynamic but they’re trying to cram a lot into a single movie and while they achieved an impressive feat by actually getting it all in there, none of it has the space to be truly excellent.

If you’re just looking for a movie that (finally) does justice to the Fantastic Four then this is it. It’s not the greatest marvel movie ever but it’s solid.

I haven’t seen Thunderbolts.

Superman was really good, particularly at setting up emotional stakes. I felt visceral disgust at how awful Lex Luthor was. Lois’s relationship with Superman was complex and they challenged each other’s ideals. The plot also felt topical without being too hamfisted, characters and situations were reminiscent of real people and situations while still feeling like they had their own identity instead of being cheap stand ins.

Fantastic Four was ok, it doesn’t do anything wrong but I didn’t find anything about it particularly memorable or groundbreaking. Acting, direction, effects, and writing were all competent and it’s definitely the best F4 movie ever made but that’s not enough for me to recommend it unless you’re a huge F4 fan.

Looks like they’re starting to open up so probably just a little too late to eat them.

“Latex” is a botany term for any milky liquid exuded by a damaged plant, mushrooms kept the term from back when they were considered plants but it not the same substance. A “latex allergy” is specifically an allergy to rubber tree latex because that’s the only kind of latex that’s widely used by humans, it doesn’t mean you’re allergic to dandelion latex or mushroom latex.

Neither, they’re bitter and insubstantial but not poison or psychedelic.

I don’t put too much faith in iNat’s computer vision algorithm, it frequently IDs anything orange as Hygrophoropsis aurantiaca even if it’s a polypore. It also thinks most Amanitas are Inocybe albodisca which is a misapplied name for the PNW in the first place.

This looks like part of the Russula brevipes complex to me. I’m not the most experienced with this complex but nothing about it looks out of the ordinary for brevipes so I see no reason to think it might be anything else.

I’ve never heard of a Lactarius taking more than a few seconds to bleed (though I once missed the latex on Lactarius pseudomucidus and had no idea what the mushroom was until I finally noticed it when I was going through photos months later).

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

Have you tried using the bolete filter to figure out what they might be?

Any idea why you’re getting mutations?

Fair point haha.

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.

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 had any 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.
