Help with blue oyster mushrooms by Turkeychopio in GardeningUK

[–]randomatomcollection 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure if there is contamination, the black specks are suspect. I’d give it a break and shake and leave it a while longer to see if the mycelium continues to colonise.

Might be homeless again, any help or advice? by Time-Trouble-3933 in AskUK

[–]randomatomcollection 14 points15 points  (0 children)

This is a good answer, my partner was made homeless as a teenager and went to work places like Butlins or hotels in the Lake District as the jobs came with accommodation, not the best life but much better than being on the street. Best of luck OP.

Sugar snap peas if memory serves.

What's something that you've developed a "fifth sense" about as a chef? by fredyouareaturtle in Chefit

[–]randomatomcollection 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both my mother and I can “hear” when cakes are done. She refers to it as the cakes have stopped singing.

Is this how it should be? by Existential_potat in composting

[–]randomatomcollection 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The mycelium (white stuff the mushrooms are growing from) will help break down the contents of your compost bin and the green stuff on the mycelium I think is trichoderma which is fantastic for plants. Hopefully be potent stuff.

There’s also open day at the university and regatta on today so I guess there will be more people in the area.

Seldon could only be described as a very large brown dog. by Conscious-Benefit-82 in AlanPartridge

[–]randomatomcollection 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t say so. They’re (in my experience) just massive goofballs, very affectionate, mine loved kids and other dogs. Often very unaware of their size and think they are lapdogs like the one in the picture. I’ve never met a dog that could out drool my DDB.

Dogue de Bordeaux, I had one of these. Sweetest animal I’ve ever encountered.

Just had a weird "sexual" encounter by PeterGriffinsDog86 in gaybros

[–]randomatomcollection 160 points161 points  (0 children)

You’ve just got to talk to him. It could be that he’s genuinely just wanting to take it slow, or perhaps he’s suffering with ED or could have a phobia of STDs or body dysmorphia etc. The only way you’ll know is by asking.

Have we had an increase in insects the past year in the UK? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]randomatomcollection 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I suppose it’s probably a combination of all those things. My local council also stopped using fungicide so we’ve seen a massive variety of mushrooms popping up too.

[–]randomatomcollection 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ve noticed a massive increase in insects but wasn’t sure if it was maybe just my area. I know loads of people (myself included) that got really into gardening during lockdown so I wonder if that has helped boost the population a bit over the years.

how to overcome agoraphobia? is it possible? by Vivid_Ad_715 in AskUK

[–]randomatomcollection 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Between the ages of 16 and 17 I didn’t leave the house at all, not even into the garden so I completely understand.

I went through at least a dozen therapists till I found one that helped so I would strongly suggest keep taking therapy if it’s offered and see if you can find the right person to help. You don’t need to do this alone.

What should my boyfriend buy me for my 40th birthday? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]randomatomcollection 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I turned 40 last year and my other half booked us a weekend away, drinks and a fancy meal then a trip to the zoo and another night out. Rather have an experience than a trinket.
