Also “sub-”, at least in mycological names.

The other day, I read that there’s a mushroom called “Agaricus subsubensis” and I felt like I was being trolled.

It allows you to keep your arms shoulder-width apart which makes it easier to avoid hunching.

You ignite the torch before you move it close to the food so all the butane should burn off. Butane evaporates at room temperature anyway so I wouldn’t expect it to be a problem. Propane is also fine which makes sense given that it’s used in grills.

Creme brulee torches all use butane, did you mean to say propane?

An illegal executive order isn’t a crime, it just doesn’t count.

If wish to learn how to forage for mushrooms, join a local mycology club and go out with them. They can identify mushrooms for you and teach you how to do so yourself. They can also recommend good local field guides, I see a few folks in this thread recommending All that the rain promises and More which is a reputable guide but it’s also spectacularly out of date and only applicable to Western North America.

It’s important to know what you’re doing but mushroom identification is not nearly as difficult as some of the comments here make it out to be. There are far fewer deadly mushrooms out there than most people think and it’s fairly easy to familiarize yourself with all the deadly species in your area so you can avoid them.

Nothing wrong with picking a mushroom to ID at home or at an ID clinic run by your local mycology club. You should individually inspect each specimen as you’re cleaning them anyway so you can throw out any which might be going bad, chock full of bugs, or misidentified.

When in doubt, throw it out.

That lady is wearing an empire waist top which flares out around the hips so it’s going to be pretty hard to tell whether she has belly fat, a baby bump, or a six-pack underneath. I don’t know why someone would feel confident enough to congratulate her on pregnancy when they can’t even see her belly.

Food gives you dopamine so just eat constantly, what could go wrong?

This is pushing back against propaganda which is extremely important, she’s one of the few Dems who’s making an effort to do so instead of sitting back and allowing the right to control the narrative.

It’s really common give up on Russula because of how impossible they are to get to species but you can learn to get them to section/group which I personally find worthwhile. It helps if you enjoy eating them like I do, I spent a lot of time figuring out how to ID Russula olympiana and the other PNW xerampelina group species because of how much I like using them to make vegetarian fish broth.

The cap colors are often misleading as you noted but in many cases there are undertones you can learn to look for which are more consistent. For example, R. olympiana has this specific burgundy undertone mixed into whatever primary color the cap decided to be so I can usually tell before picking a Russula if it’s possible for it to be R. olympiana or not. R. olympiana, R. emetica, and R. americana can all be “red” but they actually can’t be the same shade of red if that makes sense.

I think that’s a “pruinose” cap covered in fine hairs which give it that frosted look. Compare to the R. murrillii group: https://www.alpental.com/psms/PNWMushrooms/PictorialKey/Russula.htm#MildDark

Armillaria sp. aka Honey mushrooms, they’re very aggressive so RIP to that tree. One of the world’s largest living organisms is an Armillaria that spans over 2000 acres in Oregon.

Coprinus, it means “of poop” because a lot of them grow on dung, though this one usually prefers well-fertilized soil (which may or may not have manure in it).

They’re more like nature’s Jell-O shots.
