I feel the same way. Finding out more is compulsive but also calming / satisfying.

Nice! (unlike the other ICE). First time I’ve seen it. Beautiful, but extremely delicate.

Thanks for confirming. Was exciting to find, first time I’ve seen it.

I found something similar, although not sure they are also exidiopsis effusa. Take a look, same thing or something else? bsky.app/profile/done...

The forest was mainly birch and pine.

Found these beauties on a frosty early morning walk. Has been very damp and cold recently. Extremely delicate. Possibly hair ice / Exidiopsis effusa? Any other ideas? #fungifriends

White, hair-like fungi. Possibly Exidiopsis effusa, more commonly known as har ice. Forms rarely in very specific, damp and freezing conditions.

The fact that the regime is executing citizens in the street and then asking for lists of citizens who voted against them might raise a few alarm bells.

Makes a lot of sense. For years I used to beat myself up over all the little things. I developed an almost constant internal monologue of self-criticism. What’s worse, I found myself being just as critical towards others. Learning to stop that, helped me see what I was doing to myself.

When what was broken learns its rest, I will look up again And find the stars unchanged, And myself made lighter for the waiting.

Still, the stars do not withdraw They burn for all, Even those who cannot lift Their eyes just yet.

Hi. It's me. 2 weeks later. This is done. 58 frames over 3 seconds, *50* layers in the final image. WOO. This was a long edit, felt like ACTUAL work so unless I get it again with the actual sunset I doubt I'll be editing more like this. Psyched for the final piece tho! 🪶

Perhaps I didn’t write that clearly. I wasn’t stating that all narcissists are abusive. However, some are, and in those cases, autistics like me make great targets.

Graphene has the required properties at a microscopic scale, however, we can’t produce it at the lengths required for it to work in this application.

I know! Those pesky excuses just keep getting in the way. Maybe if we ignore them they’ll just disappear. After all, it’s what politicians do.

Building a colony on mars is more feasible

And that’s before we have to over engineer it to account for fatigue and environmental degradation: oxidation, UV, thermal cycling, wind loads and impacts etc.

Even our best macroscopic fibers have a tensile strength short of what’s needed by about an order of magnitude. And it’s even harder in practice - the above assumes they can be made over the entire length with zero flaws.

If only it was that easy. The tether has to be so thick that it would tear itself apart unless made of an ultra-strong, ultra-light material. The required strength-to-weight ratio is many times higher than any bulk material humanity can currently produce.

I wonder if ogre meant back then what it means now.

100

Thanks, interesting. So nothing to do with Hungary. Likely a play on ‘Logres’, (ancient name for England and Wales) and Latin ‘orcus’. Seems first written record of ogre in French predates by about 250 years the Italian orco.

Nations will have no choice but to tax the big companies and redistribute. The alternative is an uprising.

Historically, industrialists like Henry Ford raised worker wages so that workers could afford the cars they built. That era is long gone. Now that the jobs are going too…

From the photo, it looks like it doesn’t have gills on the underside (although it’s hard to see clearly). I thought all Amanitas have gills?

There’s an old saying: all mushrooms are edible; but you’ll eat the deadly poisonous ones only once.

Please be VERY careful about foraging. Only eating those mushrooms that you 100% ID as being safe to eat. Ask an expert if unsure.

Cut off the stem and then place the cap face down on a sheet of paper (ideally half black / half white). Cover it with a glass bowl and leave overnight. You should be able to see any spores on the paper the next day.

Although I’ve heard arguments that it was a blend, with the French supposedly taking the Italian orco and combining it with hongrois in a play on words to derive ogre.

130

Given ‘ogre’ didn’t show up in the french language until the late 17th century, it’s more likely it was borrowed from the Italian.

220

Or it was borrowed from ‘orco’ the Italian word (which was derived from Orcus) meaning a man-eating monster or demon

140

That sounds (and the photo looks) very much like Pleated Inkcap (also known as Japanese Parasol).

200

Please *don’t* risk eating them in case the ID is wrong, False Parasol is poisonous. Also, some deadly mushrooms have a white spore print.

The second one is either False Parasol or the real Parasol. Although the stem seems short so likely to be the False Parasol. You can differentiate by taking a spore print - the false parasol has a green spore print and the other has a white one.

210

If they’re Japanese Parasol, they don’t last very long. An added clue would be seeing them collapsed the next day or even that evening.

Yup, and some more: awkwardly, awkwardest, awkwardish, awkwardness…

Hard to say from this angle. Did you get a look underneath - gills, pores, or smooth? Also roughly how big across was the cap? Finally, where did you find it (I can’t tell from the photo) - wood chips, compost, grass, or forest floor? That might help me narrow it down.

100

Hadn’t even considered that point. It’s a good one.

Interestingly, xenophobia may not be a constant. There’s evidence to suggest it varies dependent on resource scarcity, threat perception and stability / instability. Could explain why nationalist do so well during challenging periods.
