Sean Carolan @sean.carolan.io · 29/09/2026I've searched for these for over 15 years. Today I got the blessing of the mushroom gods right in my own backyard! Behold #fungifriends , Laetiporus sulphureus aka Chicken of the Woods! 🐔🍄🟫 28012
Sean Carolan @sean.carolan.io · 28/09/2026They got married in 2016. The empty bottle sits on their mantel, and the stove turned out to be gas. THE END 010
Sean Carolan @sean.carolan.io · 28/09/2026No water, no batteries, no flashlight. The lights in their building went out at 8:47 PM the next night. By candlelight (a Diptyque candle, fig-scented), they ate torn baguette dipped straight into truffle oil and agreed it was, honestly, the best meal they'd ever made. 100
Sean Carolan @sean.carolan.io · 28/09/2026"We have a gas stove." "Do we?" Neither of them knew. They stood there for six minutes while a woman behind them silently loaded forty cans of beans into her cart. They compromised: truffle oil, one baguette, a wedge of manchego, and a bag of arugula that was already wilting. 100
Sean Carolan @sean.carolan.io · 28/09/2026Aisle 6 was where it fell apart. Jess found a small, heavy bottle with a black-and-gold label: White Truffle Oil, $24.99. "This is what restaurants use," she said. "If the power goes out, we can make anything taste like Balthazar." "If the power goes out, we can't cook anything," Theo said. 100
Sean Carolan @sean.carolan.io · 28/09/2026Truffle couple backstory: Brooklyn, October 2012. Jess and Theo had lived together for eleven months and had never once cooked dinner. Their kitchen held three things: a Nespresso machine, a bottle of Sriracha from a previous tenant, and a drawer of takeout menus, sorted by delivery time. 100
Sean Carolan @sean.carolan.io · 24/09/2026It's amazing to see the community still improving and iterating on these 8 bit platforms. I also saw a Bubble Bobble remaster for the C64. They're still improving and squeezing in more performance and better graphics! 110
Sean Carolan @sean.carolan.io · 21/09/2026Bears Head Tooth mushroom, a close cousin of the Lion's Mane. Also delicious, makes an excellent "crab cake". 🍄🟫 #fungifriends 3230
Sean Carolan @sean.carolan.io · 17/09/2026Look at these #retrogaming arcade beauties! Still working after 40+ years. Photos from Emporium San Francisco. 👾🕹️ 040
Sean Carolan @sean.carolan.io · 06/08/2026Giant Puffball aka Calvatia Gigantea. This one's about the size of a cantaloupe. It got so top heavy it rolled over onto the grass, you can see the step sticking out on top. 🍄⚽#fungifriends 120
Sean Carolan @sean.carolan.io · 06/08/2026Metroid helped define the "Nintendo Hard" era of gaming. Without the Nintendo Power magazine walkthrough, this game was extremely hard to beat. The 2004 GBA remix, Metroid Zero Mission has upgraded graphics, smoother controls, bug fixes, and a mini-map. Highly recommended if you like the original! 000

Sean Carolan @sean.carolan.io · 27/07/2026Nice harvest! We are about 3 weeks behind you in Albany, still working through the spring veggies... 120
Sean Carolan @sean.carolan.io · 25/07/2026Remember kids, always wear your eye protection. AI slop can cause blindness! 000
Sean Carolan @sean.carolan.io · 24/07/2026I have a strategic scissors reserve in a drawer. Scissors always go AWOL 000
Sean Carolan @sean.carolan.io · 22/07/2026Anyone who's spent more than a few minutes watching the internal "thinking" dialog of one of these AIs could have told you shoving them into every piece of software was a terrible idea. Perhaps the most unfortunate thing is that we call them "Artificial Intelligence" when they are anything but 000
Sean Carolan @sean.carolan.io · 21/07/2026Meanwhile all of the metro Albany area is without SAME alerts. My desktop weather radio was...well...radio silent until I changed it to the more distant station with a weaker signal. 000
Sean Carolan @sean.carolan.io · 21/07/2026Lucky there's another station where I can still get a signal, updating the radios now... 100
Sean Carolan @sean.carolan.io · 21/07/2026The NOAA weather radio literally saved our lives during a camping trip. We got early warning of a snowstorm and were able to quickly change plans, find a campsite and prepare to survive 8-10" of snow in a 3-season tent. 100
Sean Carolan @sean.carolan.io · 21/07/2026Didn't have NWS radio going offline on my collapse bingo card. A storm system is coming so I turned on one of the handheld radios and got complete silence. Somehow we can drop billions of dollars worth of bombs on the middle east but NWS can't get budget to repair the weather radio. 100

Sean Carolan @sean.carolan.io · 12/07/2026They are excellent cooked with snow peas, Asian style. Or we sometimes batter and air fry like the photo, excellent substitute for recipes that call for chicken. 100
Sean Carolan @sean.carolan.io · 11/07/2026We're finding tons of Golden Oyster (Pleurotus Citrinopileatus) this year. Chicken fried golden oyster mushroom by chef @plantbasedpacific.bsky.social #fungifriends 🍄 0180
Sean Carolan @sean.carolan.io · 25/06/2026The Handspring Visor is such a delightful device. I was reading NYTimes on mine before phone apps existed. They also are a great Gameboy emulator! 000
Sean Carolan @sean.carolan.io · 23/06/2026These AI models absolutely suck at building assets and designing maps. 100% guarantee that a human assembled that map on the screen. Your job is safe for the foreseeable future, even the robots need your graphics because they can't even design a decent tile or sprite. 010
Sean Carolan @sean.carolan.io · 21/06/2026A mama Robin just moved in, the nest is in a tree right next to the house. I sneaked a photo while she was away. 🐦 010
Sean Carolan @sean.carolan.io · 19/06/2026Discovered these on a hike today. Golden Oyster aka Pleurotus Citrinopileatus. Technically an invasive species, these escaped from farmers markets and Asian grocery stores into the wild. Now they are found all over the Northeast US. #fungifriends 🍄 0404
Sean Carolan @sean.carolan.io · 18/06/2026It's a perfect storm of misguided optimism and naive assumptions about how and where to best apply this new and mostly unproven technology. 000
Sean Carolan @sean.carolan.io · 18/06/2026The developers found that Claude Code made them more productive. Their managers decided to shove AI into everything, expecting the same results. It's failing miserably. 100
Sean Carolan @sean.carolan.io · 31/05/2026Ganoderma sessile, aka Eastern North American Reishi. In Chinese medicine it is known as 灵芝 - Ling Zhi - "Mushroom of Immortality" #fungifriends 🍄 0281

Sean Carolan @sean.carolan.io · 26/05/2026Wine cap, aka Garden Giant, Stropharia Rugosoannulata. Best picked small before the veil separates. These can get as large as dinner plates if you let them. #fungifriends 🍄 0184

Sean Carolan @sean.carolan.io · 14/05/2026This cube would make an amazing movie prop. The pixel density is incredible. 010
