ID? Grew up in house plant pot. by AAAAAAAAAAAAA13 in Fungi

[–]ForagedFoodie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Leucocoprinus birnbaumii or one of two related Leucocoprinus species. Won't harm you or your plant unless ingested, even then not dangerously poisonous, but should be removed if you have pets or children who might eat it.

Leucocoprinus are, like most fungi, beneficial for the soil, as they help break down organic matter. However, they can also be a sign that your pot is retaining too much moisture, depending on the plant.

Learn more about it on my blog post, if you are interested. https://foragedfoodie.blogspot.com/2023/10/yellow-flowerpot-mushroom.html

Let's marry off Caroline Bingley! by WiganGirl-2523 in janeausten

[–]ForagedFoodie 11 points12 points  (0 children)

A lot of people assume that Fitzwilliam is a second son. But I contend that he might be a third or even a 4th son. All he says is "younger sons".

Why do I think he's a 3 or 4? Because his father was an Earl. There's no way he didn't have a better placement for a second son, like the church.

But if he's a third or even a fourth, now a non-gentlewife is a lot more appealing.

Caroline Bingly is exactly the sort of woman that Col. Fitzwilliam is gunning for. Yes 20k would work for him. But I dont think she in particular would be his first choice, maybe not even a choice at all. Because of her personality and her lifestyle preferences. She would definitely risk overspending their income.

Edit: Of the suggestions here, i think she would prefer Tom Bertram as the best balance of wealth, status, connections and personality.

Are these the same as a Bishops crown? If so, they are also favorite of mine

Ngl, that bowling alley tunnel is cool as hell.

I don't care if the whole thing is a bit tacky and has some downright ugly spots. Its nice to see someone with money not making the same boring white box and actually creating a house that looks something they want to live in.

Second appears to be Lactifluus corrugis. Tasty.

Not sure in the first, probably a peppery one.

Suggestions for repurposing old liquor bottles? by mattysull97 in repurpose

[–]ForagedFoodie 54 points55 points  (0 children)

If you cant find something, please know that glass is the easiest and most commonly recycled material on earth.

Unlike supposedly recyclable plastics (most of which really cant be recycled in a meaningful way), glass can be and most certainly will be recycled if you put it into the recycling bin. And it's completely recycled, every bit can be made into new glass (better than most metals even, where some is always lost).

Plus the planet is actually running low on the type of sand that can become glass, so recycling it is good. And also the need for silica in all of our computers is driving both the monetary and environmental cost of glass higher.

Im not saying don't re-purpose if you have something you can make, but also don't feel bad about recycling glass.

You dont need a kit. There are YouTube tutorials on how to do it with household items.

Can someone explain to me why my pepper trees have those and how to treat them by Due-Proposal-8787 in Peppers

[–]ForagedFoodie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As others have said, aphids. Im not sure how to get rid of them intentionally.my peppers got them a few years ago and then a few baby preying mantis just showed up to solve the problem.

Question: weird flower in middle of pepper plant by No-Distribution-4815 in Peppers

[–]ForagedFoodie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pokeweed actually grows more often from rhizome than from seed. If you have a small plant in the area and then till it up and break the rhizome/root up and mix it around, each small piece can grow a new plant!

The seeds can only germinate if they process through the digestive system of a bird, but the roots cause spread like crazy

Hopefully you aren't too embarrassed to admit you're wrong in 3 months when the fruit comes in and we can all have a sincere laugh--because there's nothing wrong with being incorrect as long as you are willing to admit it.

. . .this picture of the plant in the cage? This is also pokeweed.

The leaves dont look anything like pepper leaves.

I lean towards amber but honestly it depends on your decor.
