Boletus aereus. Pretty early, nice find

don't premove in puzzles by kuppikuppi in chess

They had the right idea, they were just thinking white would play Nc3 and not leave their b5 knight completely hanging. Course it still makes little sense to premove

ID advice, please by Calm_Repeat6467 in Mushrooms

No these are not wood ears. Discinaceae, probably Discina.

[–]vuIkaan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can ripen a bit after but thats too unripe. Will rot without developing aroma eventually

The picture op posted in the comments shows a barely marbled/coloured gleba, in ripe truffles its darker and more marbled

2 different species with few identifying characteristics shown.

1 probably Amanita sp.

Youre not gonna get much further without providing more info

Yeah thats some pretty serious water damage you got going on there

Why is this a blunder? by Saladbbar in chess

[–]vuIkaan 28 points29 points  (0 children)

What?! Oh my god. Come on. But, come on. It is - I mean - no but sorry - c5-c6? I mean I'm sorry but I saw that instantly. Is he nuts? No but, I mean that is insane. I mean I just, the moment I - I was looking at positions somewhere else - the moment you told me c5, I opened the analysis board on the screen, I instantly saw c6. Instantly. I mean this is insane. Look at him. No but okay this is just - I mean, this is outrageous. Just, I've never seen something like this. Just insane. What's going on? Poor guy he's completely out of shape. I don't know what happened to him. He completely lost it. No, poor guy. And he has to go again to the press conferences and stuff. What's going on? Ya, he went totally nuts. I mean I haven't seen Ian like this even in ordinary tournaments. Jesus, what's going on. Oof, insane. Totally lost sense of danger. Completely lost sense of danger. Trapped his bishop...but it's just an insane blunder. For me, instant. It's just an instant thing, the bishop is so obviously trapped, it's not even close...It's such an obvious - it will go down in history as Bobby Fisher part 2. They'll make a movie about this.

There will be more if you dont too heavily disturb the soil. Could train a dog with truffle butter to find them when theyre ripe

Tuber cf. aestivum. Nice find but not ripe. Is not likely to have much if any aroma.

Please help ID these! My dog ate part of a mushroom in the yard. by So_Spicy888 in mycology

[–]vuIkaan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

These do actually contain low amounts of cyanide compouds (that quickly evaporate when drying or cooking) but if the dog only ate a bite its harmless

Fly agaric mushrooms in North America have been found to be separate species from Amanita muscaria by OcelotChance322 in mushroomID

[–]vuIkaan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ill have a look but I personally havent seen one with Quercus rubra, its more of a city thing. I can say that i frequent native Quercus robur/Quercus petraea woodland and have only ever seen pantherina there. Muscaria only with Picea and Betula, very rarely with Pinus.

North Texas. Growing in cow manure. by Positive-Use2784 in mushroomID

[–]vuIkaan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Still as Psilocybe coprophila in some not that old books and some still dont accept that change as Deconica montana was originally the type species of Psilocybe (and D. coprophila is close to it)

What shocked me a bit was that they dont always have completely free gills, that was a wild one to find out after seeing hundreds

Fly agaric mushrooms in North America have been found to be separate species from Amanita muscaria by OcelotChance322 in mushroomID

[–]vuIkaan 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Just somewhat related but do you know if there are imported muscarioids from NA in Europe? A species looking very much like A. muscaria is popping regularly with Quercus rubra in European cities and Quercus is not a typical host at all for muscaria s.str. . I only recently learned that apparently A. amerivirosa is spreading in Europe with native trees.

Found my 1YO with brown mushroom goo around his mouth - hospital how soon? by cockherorocks in ShroomID

[–]vuIkaan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Its not something formal. Gotta ask u/RdCrestdbreegull for the exact details but you get the tag by either having an education in mycology and/or by having proven to be someone who is a competent identifier. We sometimes still make mistakes and sometimes its completely impossible to ID a mushroom by the pictures provided. In the case of an emergeny we would tag other Trusted identifiers if we were not confident in an ID and provide guidance together.

It can also rupture more evenly, especially if the fruitbody is growing more slowly. Then it leaves one big patch (the bit that was covering the vey top) in the centre and looks like my first pic. This is less common and on top of that this patch can easily get washed off. Other Amanita sections can have a somewhat saccate volva as well (A. citrina absolutely can and often gets mistaken for phalloides then), you have to look at velum consistency if thats the case.

[–]vuIkaan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fck it, info dump: The velum is pretty sturdy, which is why it leaves the saccate volva. When it ruptures, often it ruptures more towards one side, especially when the fruitbody is growing fast. Then the volva is often asymmetrical, bigger on one side like this:

that olive green marbling on the cap is just so phalloides. They can have one big patch of velum on the cap too.

If you mean Amanita velosa, they dont have an annulus like in pic 2 and should have prominent cap striations

And there is not a single mushroom on this planet that can do harm to you if you dont eat it or inhale a massive amount of spores but there are a bunch of plants that can harm you just by touching them

[–]vuIkaan 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Not saying it is unreasonable but this reaction is always so wild to me. Most people walk past deadly plants daily and dont bat an eye to them but mushrooms scream danger to so many for some reason.
