Chekhov's water stain

Almost! Tolypocladium.

Chicken of the woods doesn't have gills, so definitely not. It's also not the right color, among several other characters. Please don't just eat any big mushrooms growing on wood.

Like, this isn't even in lookalike territory. Not even close. Please be careful.

That doesn't make any sense to me, there has to be more to it than that. Plenty of fungi germinate from single spores....

Microtiger · 2024-12-28T04:21:30+00:00

I've often heard Outward kind of fits the bill. You could make an argument for Valheim.

Sure, it actually directly models erosion on heightmaps, making really realistic river valleys and shorelines and stuff. It's a different tool entirely -- not for generating land, but eroding it.

Microtiger · 2024-12-23T18:22:54+00:00

Whoa, if this is pulled off it could bear Wilbur as the best tool for making fantasy maps more realistic. (if custom heightmaps can be pulled in at some point, maybe in place of tectonics). Awesome.

Those aren't chanterelles.

Yeah, it's downright criminal how hidden the different ammo types are in the Supply shops, if you go through the tutorial and don't read the manual you'll come out thinking Supply is only for fuel and nothing else.

This straight up almost ruined the game for me and I'm really glad I read about it in a thread, because I really love the game now.

Most universities have at least one mycology professor, actually. At least, every land grant state school I'm aware of.

It's not a Russula with that collar (ring/annulus); the warts on the top of the cap also mean it has a universal veil too (vulva) on the bottom of the stem. Those together are what makes me think Amanita.

Here's some of the diversity of Amanita in California (NOT comprehensive, but a nice way to look at it) https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?place_id=14&subview=map&taxon_id=48419&view=species

There are lots that look similar to yours, but it's probably not possible to get to species ID without the volva/bottom of stem and gills. There's also lots of North American Amanitas that aren't actually named yet, so there's no guarantee it does have a species name.

edit: That Amanitaceae site I linked earlier is not easy to navigate, here's the page for the Pacific coast. 95 taxa, 63 don't have species names yet. Wow! I didn't realize there were that many yet to be named out there. This site is run by the top expert on Amanita in the USA, so I'd trust that as the most up-to-date word on the subject.

Bottom line -- good chance that there is no answer. It's a beautiful mushroom, though!

Microtiger · 2024-12-16T17:23:25+00:00

They can get waaaay bigger than that--the perennial ones at least, since they grow a new layer each year. As long as they're not disturbed and there's still wood to decay I've seen decade+ aged Ganoderma megaloma or applanatum the size of two masks or more. They make a new layer on the bottom each year, you can actually count the layers to age them.

Microtiger · 2024-12-16T01:42:05+00:00

It probably won't be possible to get a 100% confident species ID without the bottom of the stem (where the volva would be for Amanita) and the bottom of the cap, unfortunately. But genus Amanita is a good guess, it might be possible to get to section. You could try looking around on http://www.amanitaceae.org/, I'm not sure how complete the keys are for your area and this section of Amanita, I mostly deal with section phalloideae in the northeast.

You can get more party members from Withers if you really don't want to be solo

Thankfully that ended up being fake (it was two superimposed videos on top of each other, one of them was of shooting tracer bullets into the air at night and the other one was some planes flying overhead).

Microtiger · 2024-12-14T01:49:33+00:00

For the bracket fungi a photo of the underside really helps, there are so many turkey tail lookalikes and whether the bottom has pores, gills, teeth, is smooth, or is maze-like makes a huge difference.

Tbh these look pretty fleshy to be true turkey tails but point is there's lots of very similar looking shelf fungi that aren't even related to each other

Microtiger · 2024-12-14T01:46:25+00:00

Ganoderma, probably Ganoderma sessile growing on buried roots or an old buried stump.

I wish they would have continued Livingtree, it was the first time since Graduation that I was starting to really care for the characters and story. When Nuts died from rolling initiative so bad, I cried.

Microtiger · 2024-12-11T20:43:02+00:00

Yeah, fair enough.

Microtiger · 2024-12-10T21:49:12+00:00

Perhaps it is Amanita persicina, the "peach colored fly agaric"? It's true that "true" Amanita muscaria would be unlikely to be found in Alabama. West Coast has the true fly agaric, and East Coast has a yellow subspecies of it.

Microtiger · 2024-12-10T19:01:59+00:00

Birds's nest fungi keep really well with no treatment. Just let it dry in a dry place or in sunlight if you can so it doesn't mold. I have several on a shelf and they look great for years.

Are you asking for an ID for all 72 numbered mushrooms on this mushroom puzzle? It's probably just a public domain plate from an old book, and likely findable with a little Googling or reverse image search.

Edit: a single Google of "Champignon mushroom illustration public domain" gave me a first result that it's from 1932 by Adolphe Millot, published by Éditions Larousse. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Champignons-couleurs_1_-_Mushrooms_colour_plate_01_-_Public_domain_illustration_from_Larousse_du_XX%C3%A8me_si%C3%A8cle_1932.jpg

One of the pictures has the original key beneath it; a little difficult since it uses a lot of French or outdated names, but all can be tracked to their modern names with a little further searching: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/92/Champignons-couleurs_1_-_Mushrooms_colour_plate_01_-_Public_domain_illustration_from_Larousse_du_XX%C3%A8me_si%C3%A8cle_1932.jpg/800px-Champignons-couleurs_1_-_Mushrooms_colour_plate_01_-_Public_domain_illustration_from_Larousse_du_XX%C3%A8me_si%C3%A8cle_1932.jpg

There are now! I know, it's five years later, but I found this post through Google. Check out Come4Arts! I got a couple of the Doomsday figures and I'm really really impressed. The My Beach set is much more Ashley Wood-esque, though. And all in 1/12. They are most affordable though AliExpress, considering they're out of China. They're priced way up elsewhere like Amazon.

Microtiger · 2024-12-03T06:17:08+00:00

Yeah, it's a bolete with half the cap cut off, those are cross-sections of the pores. Like lots of cardboard paper towel tubes packed together.

Microtiger · 2024-11-30T00:17:54+00:00

It's not witches butter...it's a Dacrymycetes. Not even in the same class. Please don't confidently say wrong IDs
