This man’s lack of opinion is hot AF ngl

OMG it’s so pretty! Does this surprisingly cute creature have a common name, or just isopod?

It’s giving me eyeshadow inspo haha she’s got my ideal pale princess colors.

Absolutely! I use the Libby app and a regular library card. They link up so you can read all the ebooks in your library system for free, just like checking a regular book out. Sometimes you have to wait for a popular book, which I usually try to appreciate as a rare exercise in patience but can be annoying of course. But it’s actually free, no adds, simple to use.

Why are they so drawn to the basement ceiling

It’s nice of your Mom to help out in-between shifts

Guess the only remaining explanation is aliens 🤔

He’s just big-boned!

You have a good vet, they know that all torties need to be wrapped up like a little baby sometimes, for their health 😂

Mine loves being carried around like a wee baby!

What was that conspiracy theory that they’re building an underground data center and the ballroom is just a cover?

Starting to sound a little less wacky…

Still waiting for that one to explode

Whether or not to just go for it would depend on your investment and goal. Did you spend what you consider to be a lot on your spores? If you decide not to experiment with cultivation, can you return them or resell them? Basically, are you going to be wasting your investment if you don’t try, or if you try and fail? Then, what’s your goal? Learning because it seems like a fun hobby, or just getting these specific mushrooms right the first time?

Personally, I’d just go ahead and try as best as you can. Use the advice you got, but don’t stress about it if it’s not perfect. The most likely failure is nothing will grow and you’ll have wasted whatever you spent on materials and a little time. Absolutely worst case scenario is that contamination in your substrate somehow introduces a different kind of mushroom that you weren’t expecting and - again worst case scenario - you don’t realize it’s the wrong kind of mushroom and eat it and die. That seems wildly unlikely, though.

Up front, yeah, I absolutely didn’t read all of that. I am an amateur forager, and while I’m confident enough to sight identify common edibles and eat them, I don’t consider myself to “know about mushrooms” either. My problem with your comment is that it’s just as bad as AI giving advice; people might skim through and take it as fact without reading your little disclaimer, just like people skim through and take AI as fact without knowing better. That probably seems fine on the surface because your comment is just the opposite of the meme and, if followed, your advice will definitely prevent anyone getting poisoned. Unfortunately, it also will really discourage anyone interested in foraging. I’d hate for someone to miss out on a fun, healthy hobby because you can’t just keep your shit to your self.

Lemmy has communities where people who know what they’re talking about can give actual good advice. Please seek one out!

i do not know much about mushrooms

We can tell

LMAO at all these dude saying it’s about shit talking. Nah, home girl got her eyebrows waxed and the waxer wants to know if she needs her lip done too… it hurts. Do not recommend.

I had a white peahen show up in my yard and hang out with my chickens once. She stayed all afternoon, ate scratch with the flock, then just wandered off into the woods.

We’re in the northeast US, so she definitely wasn’t wild, and it took forever to identify her because WTF was a white peahen doing here 🤔

He is at risk of being injured or killed by a car, predatory animals, crazy people, etc. not to mention the damage that he and his friends are doing to the small wildlife in the area… Bringing friendly, adoptable strays to a shelter is the right thing to do.
