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.

Or slime molds which are, in fact, an ameoba.

Most molds are about as closely related to mushrooms as flatworms are to humans

They also depict a mushroom that only grows in Japan growing in China but the show is pretty anachronistic overall.

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.

"Farinaceous" is the term used in mycology for mushrooms that have a grain-like smell/taste.

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.

You can answer honestly but it's a greeting, not an invitation to take over the whole conversation to talk about yourself.

Them: "How are you doing"

You: "Pretty bad to be honest, but I'm hanging in there"

And from there you either get:

Them: "I'm sorry to hear that I hope it gets better"

You: "Thanks"

Them: "So I wanted to ask about your TPS reports..."

Or :

Them: "Oh no, what's going on?"

You: "Well I'm having a lot of mental health issues..."

It protects them from losing revenue because someone might change the channel if an episode reminds them about a tragedy they were trying not to think about. It's not like they're banning the episodes, they're just changing their schedule for the next few weeks.

No one on Lemmy watches broadcast TV anyway so why care?

If you're considering buying keys from shady resellers just pirate the game instead. A lot of those keys are bought using stolen CC info and end up getting charged back which leaves the devs having to pay processing fees.

Also Humble is a retailer not a reselller, they get their keys directly from the publishers or developers of the game, they don't resell keys they bought from someone else.

 

I wouldn't even need jokers for mult so much with telescope.

 

Earthballs are a bit like puffballs except they have a thicker skin and tend to be inedible or poisonous (though some say it's that they just "spoil" so quickly that you almost never find them in a state of supposed edibility).

Earthballs often tricky to tell apart from each other without a microscope or seeing them at multiple stages in their lifecycle but the Leopard Earthball has a few good tells like the brown cracking scales on the surface and the rapid red staining when it's cut in half.

If it's dark enough the tips glow faintly like a candle that's just been snuffed out.

You can see the glow in this blacklight photo I took (sorry if it's hard to see, I didn't turn off color correction on my phone).

The plant it's growing on is a dead piece of a Mountain Ash/Rowan shrub which seems to be bouncing back from whatever killed that branch.

My reasoning for this being A. Adonis: To start with it's a pink mycenoid mushroom of which there are three documented species in the PNW.

It can't be Mycena Monticola because it wasn't found at a high enough elevation for that species (they only grow at over 2000 feet hence the name Monticola meaning "mountain dwelling").

The gills are not marginate (having a different color on the edges) which rules out the other pink species Mycena Rosella.

That leaves us with A. Adonis.

 

Species is something like Subcana. Grey Mycena are hard to differentiate.

 

These have beautiful reddish brown pores on the bottom

King Arthur recipe, I used Miyokos plant butter for these and they came out great!
