FOTD #085 : pink waxcap! (porpolomopsis calyptriformis)
the pink waxcap is a species of agaric fungus in the family hygrophoraceae. interestingly, this fungus is neither mycorrhizal nor saprophytic, but may be associated with mosses. it is found in several european countries :-)
the big question : can i bite it??
technically yes, but these mushrooms are so scarce & are threatened, so i don't recommend picking them for food.
p. calyptriformis description :
"basidiocarps are agaricoid, up to 125mm (5 in) tall, the cap narrowly conical at first, retaining an acute umbo when expanded, up to 75mm (3 in) across, often splitting when expanded, the margins turning upwards. the cap surface is smooth to fibrillose, slightly shiny or greasy, pale rose-pink to lilac-pink (rarely white). the lamellae (gills) are widely spaced, waxy, cap-coloured or whiter. the stipe (stem) is smooth, white to pale cap-coloured, lacking a ring."

Especially if it's funny.

Neighbourly Assistance
Jason stood awkwardly on the doorstep of his neighbour’s house, trying to get enough courage to actually knock on the door. He wished that his dad had come over himself instead of sending him; his dad knew the guy so much better. He toyed with his fingers nervously before bringing a hand up, rapping his knuckle against the door. He quickly pulled his phone out of his pocket and pulled up Grindr as he waited for the man to answer, refreshing the app to see if he’d had any new messages recently. He didn’t get a chance to see since the man opened the door, causing Jason to shove his phone back into his pocket quickly. He flashed a friendly smile in the older man’s direction, even giving a brief wave. “Hey!” Jason started, trying not to sound so nervous. “My dad sent me over. He needs a screwdriver that he doesn’t have in his toolbox so he wanted to see if you had one he could borrow?”

Game: Puppet Zoo Pilomy (PS1)
I can say with almost complete certainty that I’ve listed the correct game, but all the gameplay I’ve found on youtube doesn’t show this strange field where you can feed(?) these animals(??), as if CoG just miraculously pulled this clip from the ether.
