Some stuff i learned about Mushrooms today! Pt.1

Identification and Anatomy

Ok so, let's start with the protective tissue veils, there are two types, Universal veil and Partial veil

Not all mushrooms have universal veils and not all mushrooms have partial veils.

The Universal Veil is there to cover the entire mushroom when it's growing, like a lil egg!

When the mushroom starts growing the tissue of the veil starts breaking, and you can tell what type of veil it was for the residue it leaves behind

The residue can be thick, which means you won't see much tissue on top but you will see a little trunk of tissue on the base

(These two also have thick partial veils but I'll talk about that on a second)

Or it can be Thin/Sticky, and leave residue on the cap.

You know what famous mushroom has a thin/sticky universal veil?

This guy! Based on the Amanita Muscaria

Those dots? Aren't dots! They're residue, warts, if you were to clean it the mushroom would be only red

Now, the Partial Veil goes underneath the cup and it works as a protective layer for the spores, as with the Universal Veil it can be

Thick which means it leaves a lil skirt behind like the aforementioned examples but also as this ones

Not so fun fact about the last ones, those are honey mushrooms and one of their own is the largest living organism on earth (though this isn't a super cientific fact), inhabiting 2.400 acres of earth. For comparison, a football field is roughly 1 acre. As fascinating as this is, I should mention that Honey mushrooms are tree parasites.

They can also be thin/sticky leaving bits of tissue behind

Or it can be a secret third option, Cortina. A super thin layer like fiber that only leaves behind a bit of fuss, very much like spider webs

How does this all ties to identifying mushrooms? Idk, I guess they're characteristics. It's still fascinating imo

Anyways this is just my little blog to post about mushrooms so obviously I'm no mycologist, some of these things may be wrong so if you happen to somehow stumble here and you find any mistakes, do tell me please!

pathologic 3 announcement made me return to the classic game and finally play it properly! i think my favorite part of the bachelor's route is when he talks to maria kaina (or whoever's in her body at the time) and they explain that their planned Utopia isn’t even supposed to be a 'perfect' place but instead 'the mystical manifestation of a world inscrutable and inaccessible to men' going back to the original meaning of the word irl and instead of despairing Daniil fervently agrees that this kind of unimaginable leap is worth it, no matter where it actually leads

Some folks were asking whether the frames in the new trailer were hand-drawn: yah!

I tape them to my desk and just draw little crosshairs on each so I can line them up post-scanning. I tried to get a pegboard but they were too small ToT Paper for ants...
