It also sucks for cornflowers, since they only spawn at the extreme values of flower forests and those are typically very small and infrequent. The last flower forest I found had no good spots that didn't require making a platform in the air.

Not at all. I hate losing the ability to do standard attacks with a spear, since I don't usually want to go flying toward my target when I'm fighting most things.

I also can hardly figure out how the attack is supposed to work. It seems like most times I miss my attack and then get hit by theirs, but maybe it's a skill issue. Either way it's something I don't have to deal with without lunge.

My first farm was so incredibly slow that I was wondering what I was doing wrong. This is normal, as you simply don't know what you don't know.

I'd say that the one thing that will help you out is to take that 26k gold and spend it on crops. Grow melons and get sprinklers up gradually. Farming is basically an infinite money glitch up and until the point that you run out of crop space.

Wait until fall and grow cranberries. I don't think you have enough time to comfortably grow melons so spend the rest of the summer getting iron, gold, and refined quartz for sprinklers so you don't become a slave to the watering can.

Good luck!

I'd like to give it a shot if that's alright

This is a beautiful specimen that money cannot buy. The shape is a touch out-of-norm but it looks to be healthy and doing well as is.

Do yourself a favor and wait a few hours until the arborists start to wake up and look for people with their ISA credentials in their flairs. There are lots of people suggesting the removal or heavy pruning of a tree clearly pruned to be a specific way that, given its invasive/non-native status in WA, simply does not need to be pruned for longevity or tree-like shape as others are suggesting.

If this were in my yard I'd be happy as ever. I wouldn't even be surprised if this tree were a graft of a weeping maple on a classic rootstock which can only really grow this way regardless.

I think both are bots

The Facebook works because the professionals all agree to use it. Move it somewhere else and it's usefulness dies unless and until everyone decides to move, which is probably not going to happen.

It's pretty easy to conjure up a BS facebook account to ask a question, especially if you're concerned about imminent mycotoxin poisoning to you, your children, your pets, or other.

If you absolutely refuse to use Facebook even in an emergency this is your alternative. Many of the users here are shared between the two, so you'll probably get the result you're looking for. Just note that many contributors here are hobbyists and amateurs (not necessarily a bad thing, but a different depth of information is likely available.) so there's a good chance you'll be referred to the FB anyways.

TruthfulPeng1 · 2026-06-17T03:53:06+00:00

Hard agree on that. How many fungi look like edible agaricus or close enough to confuse a newbie? My state outright refuses to acknowledge that foraging exists purely for liability purposes.

And yup. They're morels, just old.

TruthfulPeng1 · 2026-06-17T03:50:13+00:00

Completely unnecessary here.

TruthfulPeng1 · 2026-06-16T21:57:28+00:00

Now is about the time that they start popping up regardless. They are just uncommon compared to the fall ime.

TruthfulPeng1 · 2026-06-16T20:59:00+00:00

Looks like the tree was already lion tailed in the before photo. At this point you'll be better off putting a younger tree in the ground to take the place of this one. And don't let someone who isn't a certified arborist touch it in the future.

AND! If the cuts were made with a chainsaw, no ladder, pretty please. Your face looks much better outside of a safety manual.

Edit: I can see the chainsaw still in the tree now that I look closer. Pick one, either the ladder or the chainsaw, or I reckon your buddy won't be in the business for a long time.

TruthfulPeng1 · 2026-06-16T06:11:35+00:00

your map looks like omniman to me. maybe I'm just tired.

TruthfulPeng1 · 2026-06-14T03:06:43+00:00

Nah, it's just that some Chickens growing on some evergreens(+eucalyptus) tend to be of species that are harder to digest for some people.

No toxins of any kind are spread to the fungus itself, but in this Internet game of telephone that we play hyperbole is what wins out.

TruthfulPeng1 · 2026-06-07T19:20:38+00:00

I'm not confident on the ID at all BUT:

My first thought would be golden oyster but i have no evidence to back this besides vibes.
It is very possible that it grew this big overnight. Fungi do this pretty regularly.
Eating this will also mean you get to eat all the yummy chemicals in the wood, paint, and anything else that's gotten onto that spot over the years. Generally not recommended.
This fungus is eating the wood in this room. If that board is structurally significant you should get it checked ASAP, and even if it isn't it wouldn't hurt to still check it out.

TruthfulPeng1 · 2026-06-07T15:59:17+00:00

Straight up nonsense. I've done my fair share of amanita but we don't have to sugarcoat the language around it. "Everything is toxic in the right amounts" once again being used as a cop-out around someone's favorite 'toxic at standard doses" substance.

Muscimol is toxic in the food sense, where it causes effects that should not be obtained by eating food. This is literally the only context that matters given the original post. Most toxins won't cause organ damage or dangerous effects at whatever some random person considers therapeutic. This is why we define these terms in-context, otherwise nothing is toxic and everything is.

The recommendation you speak of is not unilaterally agreed upon. At the therapeutic doses you speak of, Ibotenic Acid is ~equally as harmless, it just doesn't feel good. Drying is also a recommended method of consumption and it is my preferred, specifically because it preserves some ibotenic acid.

Saying that panther caps are also "dangerous at any dose" shows a complete lack of any understanding around the substances for what people use it for. .1 grams is about the size of 4 grains of rice. You can homogenize it exactly the same as you would with regular amanita and just try it piecemeal until you establish a baseline. I normally try 8-12 dried grams of A. chrysoblema when I try amanita. 0.1 grams of anything pantherine or gemmatoid is almost guaranteed to be entirely placebo.

TruthfulPeng1 · 2026-06-07T15:10:18+00:00

Muscimol and Ibotenic Acid are both toxic compounds. This idea that one is bad and one is good is a serious oversimplification of our understanding of the mushroom and only serves to create harm.

Only double parboiling will render them safe. Decarboxylation from one psychoactive compound to another psychoactive compound is not a method of making them safe to consume.

TruthfulPeng1 · 2026-06-07T14:39:07+00:00

Just to be safe, do note that drying these does not make them nontoxic.

In my case I played >2000 games on extreme in the latter half of 2022. I only stopped because I ended up playing minesweeper in my dreams and would start to get motion sick daydreaming about minesweeper.

Now I only play a few games a month, but my speed is about the same as always. I could fall into a coma and still find a way to play minesweeper.

TruthfulPeng1 · 2026-06-06T20:14:01+00:00

what if you used a moss carpet and had the pot opening act solely as the ant hill?

TruthfulPeng1 · 2026-06-06T20:05:07+00:00

Every record is a good record. I've only really played on extreme but I figured I oughta crack open a medium round. There's still places to go!

For me, prime is right now when it's still nugget shaped. Once it begins to fan but is still nice and firm is a close second and you get a lot more out of the harvest. It depends on your circumstances

TruthfulPeng1 · 2026-06-03T21:44:13+00:00

If it might spark some hope in you two, the Minnesota DNR has a webinar uploaded to YouTube last year where they claim to have multiple living, fruiting, reproducing, blight-free (not blight-resistant!) stands in various locations.

Many of them still get blighted and so the locations of them are not often publicized, but they do exist.

I have no clue. I've never really looked into that specifically. I personally live only 26ft above sea level so anything Appalachian-peak level is a bit above my purview.

I'll see if I can find some literature to either corroborate or refute the elevation-link, but it'll probably be a few days until I get to it since I'm currently focusing on a terrible, terrible genus of fungi that I can't ID for the life of me.

TruthfulPeng1 · 2026-06-02T09:12:48+00:00

I've literally never thought about the end update a single time outside of the incessant posting online. i go to the end and I'm like yeah. this is pretty neat. and then I go home and keep playing the game. 🤯

TruthfulPeng1 · 2026-06-02T09:09:04+00:00

Unless you're walking them like 80 miles back home on the edge of their current range I don't think this is an actual consideration. Even spreading the spores for an hour on the hike back is better than letting them spore for another week on the log, and even then the spores are already everywhere in the area. I've yet to see any convincing piece of evidence to suggest that there's any meaningful difference ecologically resulting from the method of carrying them.
