This is legit cool.

Next time you take pics of a mushroom you want to ID, make sure to get pictures of the underside of the cap. Most bolettes have pores and not gills. For a post-ID as not-a-mycologist: yeah it looks like a bolete 😅

I completely identify with your well-worded comment here, as a fellow creative. Especially the last sentence, "Things just have been hectic as they've always been." 🫠😹

Is the color really all just from the warp?!

😹 yeah, there's not one single attribute about mushrooms that can be a rule for toxicity. Part of what makes the challenge fun! But also, if you cooked these to eat, there'd be nothing left 😹

Mine left a ton of white spores on the soil around it. Maybe the next time one pops up?

"please purchase touchable mushrooms through regular channels" 😹😹😹

Flowerpot parasol is one of its common names 😻

Lilac oysterling 😻

I used Greek yogurt last time, and a really good buttermilk the first time. Thanks for the tip, sour cream tastes better 😉

Libby audiobooks and ebooks concurrently. Whenever I have a task to do with my hands, audiobook. When hands are free, kindle library book 😻
