I'm just a person who does mycology for fun.

  • Every thread about these racks is full of comments shitting on them, meanwhile I've been enjoying mine for years with none of the issues in the comments.

    FWIW I live in a rental with limited counter space and no dishwasher.

  • 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 😅.

  • 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 as "pinecones".

  • 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?

  • Found in the Northern Alps, any clue what that is?

    Jump

  • It's a shaggy mane Coprinus comatus or a similar species.

    It's the icon for this community.

  • 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.

  • 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.

    Might also be an Inocybe sp. which would also be poison.

  • The most symmetrical Karl Johan (boletus) I've ever found, in the Swedish wilderness

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

  • Very handsome bolete

  • Looks like a Leccinum sp. nice find.

  • "Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle" becomes the highest-grossing anime film of all time at $550M

  • The train arc was released as a movie first and as individual episodes later (with additional scenes), maybe they'll do the same here?

  • Popped up quickly in one of my potted plants

    Jump

  • 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.

  • These are actually called "flowerpot parasols", complex Leucocoprinus brebissonii. They're a harmless saprophyte originally from the tropics, they love orchid bark, a common component of potting soil, which is why they show up in flowerpots so often.

  • 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.
