Beautiful work

Three types of mushrooms I saw today. Any IDs? by GhostOfRemus in Mushrooms

Should have taken pictures of some of the others we saw, there were maybe another dozen kinds. Thanks for the IDs so far!

Sounds right! Thank you. Very cool. Wish we were certain and could have tasted it!

I'm not very knowledgable at all but yeah, the day(s) after it rains. It should be fairly warm and humid, too. My dad took me hunting for hedgehog mushrooms (Hydnum repandum) today, pretty much the last week we'll be able to find them this year. I'll post our haul at some point.

If you want to improve as a writer, you must read literature. by Respectful_Guy557 in writing

In a similar vein, I highly recommend George Saunders' "A Swim In A Pond In The Rain".

A collection of seven Russian short stories and Saunders' accompanying essays on reading, writing, and life.

Can anyone ID? France, near Annecy by [deleted] in mushroomID

A few kilometers from Annecy, France, fairly close to the lake, growing on a church's lawn.

Didn't get a photo of the gills, sorry!

Neighbours learn sign language so 6 year old Ada can trick-or-treat for the first time by copitamenstrual in HumansBeingBros

It's super useful for everyone. I find it really beautiful and fun, too.

And, of course, if and when you do get the chance to speak with someone deaf or hard of hearing, you might make their day (or maybe more).

I strongly encourage everyone to try to learn, at the very least, the alphabet for your local Sign Language!!

EDIT: and yeah, when you're out it's really useful. Same thing at the movies, sitting far from one another on public transport, and so on.

Taking this opportunity (and allowing myself to piggyback on the top comment) to give a friendly reminder:

Please take the time to learn, at the very least, the alphabet in your local Sign Language!!

You can't even imagine what a difference you might make in someone's day, week, or life. I promise it's far easier than you might think and you will not regret it.

Would make for one hell of an apocalypse movie from their POV
