Hypomyces are look more like molds growing on mushrooms than mushrooms growing on mushrooms. There are mushrooms that grow on other mushrooms like Squamantina or Claudopus parasiticus but they're all pretty specialized to only grow on certain genera of mushrooms and I'm not aware of any that parasitic mushrooms that can grow on parasitic genera. I'm just a hobbyist though and I've only really studied mushrooms that grow in the Pacific Northwest so perhaps it exists somewhere.

The only potential double-parasitism I can think of is that peppery boletes (Chalciporus piperatus), which are hypothesized to be parasitic on Amanita Muscaria's mycelium because of how frequently they're found together, could be infected with Bolete mold (Hypomyces chysospermus/microspermus).

And let those filthy aspergillus or god-forbid hypomyces have a say in how we run things? I think not, long-live King Muscaria of Amanitaceae!

Welcome to Japan Ms. Elf was largely about food and cooking.

Cooking master boy is a great 90s anime about cooking battles similar to Yakitate! Japan which someone else already mentioned.

I would say probably T. Versicolor based on that, it's also generally more common in the PNW than T. Ochracea.

Wow, it looks halfway between a morel and a stinkhorn. I wonder what species.

I actually would lean towards A. Aprica based on the stature and that the warts look pretty flat but it's hard to really tell without seeing the underside and volva.

Edit: I just noticed the margin of the cap isn't striate (for those following along, there are no ridges at the edge of the cap where the gills are) so it's almost certainly Amanita Aprica.

If it is a Muscarioid, then A. Chrysoblema is probably correct because genetic testing has shown that all native PNW muscarioids are color forms of the same species/variety so we don't need to worry about picking a variety from the color. A. Chrysoblema is one candidate for the correct name but it could also end up being that they're all A. Muscaria Var. Flavivolvata (they all have off-white yellowish warts).

For now I usually just call them all "Amanita Muscaria" and leave it at that.

As fantastic as this looks, Asterion must be played by Gonzo in "Muppet Baldur's Gate" so that Cazador can be played by Henrietta the Chicken.

Kermit is more of a "Wyll".

What's wrong with just using Aurora instead?

I think my problem may have been that I scheduled chores based on how frequently I thought they "ought to be" done rather than how often my ADHD partner and ADHD self were realistically capable of. It led to a spiral of always being behind which led to us not checking the app or checking stuff off when we did it.

The "time to do chores" daily reminder was completely unhelpful because I would always either ignore it because I wasn't feeling up to cleaning or ignore it because I was already cleaning.

We'll probably give the app another go one of these days with a more relaxed schedule, hope you have better luck with it.

If you haven't, make sure to give it a good oiling.

 

I wouldn't even need jokers for mult so much with telescope.

 

Earthballs are a bit like puffballs except they have a thicker skin and tend to be inedible or poisonous (though some say it's that they just "spoil" so quickly that you almost never find them in a state of supposed edibility).

Earthballs often tricky to tell apart from each other without a microscope or seeing them at multiple stages in their lifecycle but the Leopard Earthball has a few good tells like the brown cracking scales on the surface and the rapid red staining when it's cut in half.

If it's dark enough the tips glow faintly like a candle that's just been snuffed out.

You can see the glow in this blacklight photo I took (sorry if it's hard to see, I didn't turn off color correction on my phone).

The plant it's growing on is a dead piece of a Mountain Ash/Rowan shrub which seems to be bouncing back from whatever killed that branch.

Atheniella Adonis (PNW) (programming.dev)

My reasoning for this being A. Adonis: To start with it's a pink mycenoid mushroom of which there are three documented species in the PNW.

It can't be Mycena Monticola because it wasn't found at a high enough elevation for that species (they only grow at over 2000 feet hence the name Monticola meaning "mountain dwelling").

The gills are not marginate (having a different color on the edges) which rules out the other pink species Mycena Rosella.

That leaves us with A. Adonis.

Tiny Mycena (programming.dev)
 

Species is something like Subcana. Grey Mycena are hard to differentiate.

 

These have beautiful reddish brown pores on the bottom
