Idk man… seems like that would make GameDev mean anything and nothing. Just for the record, I have no stakes in this discussion, I really don’t care. I just find it weird to blur a word like that. Is the game company’s canteen cook also a game dev? The person who plugged in the monitors? The CEO? The HR person? And so on…
I agree tho that this entire discussion feels a little like gatekeeping and would prefer everyone getting some credit for the game development over pedantic hairsplitting.
And this is only with my fairly crappy phone camera. Imagine what you could do at night with a good camera and some nice lighting!
Hmm I don’t know… I do think they look more like xylaria
It wouldn’t be by that logic! Just nobody cares I guess
May I ask why you cut it? I read that it’s seen as a delicacy in some places
Tbf the same thing exists for mushrooms, there are various apps. It’s dangerous to rely on them but I use them for a first idea of what I might be looking at and then go from there. Quite useful sometimes
Thanks for the hint, next time I will!
Hmm thanks, you made me read up on the topic some more. If I come across some capnoides I think I will try and identify them with certainty! The taste is indeed a pretty fail proof factor. And actually it should even be possible to identify them visually.
I am always a little scared when leaving the relatively safe terrain of my beloved boletes.
I’m jealous, I have yet to find (and taste) one of those!
Nice! These are even more deserving of the name “elf cup”
I just found this on Wikipedia:
It is this compound that is responsible for the characteristic bluish-green stain of wood infected by this species, used today in decorative woodworking such as Tunbridge ware and parquetry. The use of this wood, known as “green oak”, goes back to 15th century Italy, where it was used in intarsia panels made by Fra Giovanni da Veroni
I’m sure some would/could try, but at least for anything specific and with any certainty you would need to post more pictures with different perspectives and details!
I doubt it. All the blue wood that we saw was very brittle and/or mushy. I think the mushroom probably needs the wood to be somewhat broken down (and maybe soaked?) to start colonizing it. And then it breaks it down even further. But I suppose it might look really cool in some resin projects!
Edit: Look what I just found on Wikipedia:

I’m not sure if you are referring to the two images? If so, they are both pictures of the posionous Sulfur Tuft (maybe my post was confusing). The edible species has some slightly different coloring, but that’s really not enough for me to be able to tell the difference with confidence.
Wikipedia says “It resembles the common Northern Hemisphere species Russula emetica]” … so not edible as well?
So interesting to think about funghi growing in eucalyptus forests on the other side of the world
Beautiful!
I absolutely agree. Look at some more pictures, this one is harmless :D and it has this brown slime that smells absolutely atrocious.
Don’t worry about it, I was just hoping not to encourage people to post against the rules ;)
I’d actually be interested in helping moderate this community, I have no experience with that but I’d like to learn and as I said I am happy that this place exists!
DM me if you like
