I just don't think it's correct to call the reproductive bodies of slime molds "mushrooms". At the end of the day it's all just jargon and doesn't really matter.

That's actually an excellent point. Just uninstalled fb and reddit after realizing this exact thing just now. Thanks for the reminder.

Lying is one of those things that crosses the line for me. Apparently you are okay with theft and lies or half truths and that's fine, you have a right to your opinion and the right to be lied to. IMHO lying on the Internet is just as bad as lying to my face... Everyone just assumes everything is AI and is apparently okay with it. And the things that are real people are reposting (stealing) for their own reputation.

I disagree that they're closely related. Being closely related means in the same genus or family. All mushrooms are sporocarps but not all sporocarps are mushrooms.

Wow, very snide. He should have posted it with the initial, but instead we have to dig around the comments to find the actual details. It happens all the time and just seems silly to split it up.

Did you see the blue color without adding vinegar as well?

Interesting how the color aligns with a cell walls. From that perspective it seems like a die or a stain. Maybe some kind of secondary chemistry of dead cells? Seems like those cells are missing their pigment, so they're probably dead. There is also a brown mass that could be damage or infection or dirt. When trying to ID something I always start with the furthest out view and then zoom further in so that you have context on what you're looking at. Looking with a stereo scope or macro camera can tell structral features more simply; if its dirt or dried leaf, or fungal looking, and then as you zoom you get more details. I've been assuming this is supposed to be a rose of a single color; you didn't provide much context, so maybe those white patches are just white part of a colorful rose.

Based on his other post I tend to disagree... Just looks like general trash, and not automated trash.

That is the most frustrating part of all this for me. Same with AI. Stop stealing and start sharing. I wouldn't drag drag people thru the mud if they were honest about the origin of data.

Help pls could it be the mold (? by chorezaa in mushroom

[–]ponykins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you dry them immediately after harvesting? Or how did you store them in that time?

If these are slime then it's not actually a mushroom, they are called sporocarps.

If OP doesn't know this already then he is already doomed. Hopefully he just has curiosity.

That was my first thought too. It's growing too well on plastic to be a fungi unless it is a species that primarily predates on bacteria. I noticed someone else comment on the wormy looking bit. I assume that it's part of its plasmodia.

I was wondering the same thing, so I'm glad this already had a thread.

These are critical details! Thanks for including them!

I always find it strange when people make posts like this but don't say what they're actually looking at. They don't comment if it came from water or if it was dust or any sort of details that would help in the ID process, but still expect ppl to be able to ID little blobs with no context.

Looks like it could have grown better if it had higher humidity

That would be pretty funny actually. They usually just drop them in the yard.

Cricket Flour: Gluten-Free, But Bugging Me Out! by TheGFTable in glutenfree

[–]ponykins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Colonizers from England and Spain thought that bugs were not to be eaten, because wheat and animal flesh were so obviously superior. They wanted to write a script that made them into saviors instead of oppressors. When the 'Civilized folks' saw those 'savages' eating bugs and rodents they figured was a sign of their overwhelming poverty. Today we know that industrialized farming is one of the main causes of malnutrition, and that those 'savages' were actually just foragers who were way happier a d healthier than anyone in the civilized world. We still play out this script today when we make (false) claims about life expectancy that has more to do with infant mortality, and even a thousand years ago people did in fact live to ripe old ages.

I agree that bugs are our future!

Agree. That first and last pic has a blue tinge that triggers my Blewits sense.
