  • Spore print would help w/ ID, white is a (+) association. No staining/ bruising of cap and stip is (+). Also presence/ absence of a volvulus at the ground end a bulbus stipe/stem would be typical of the Amanita genus. The smooth stipe/stem is a (-). I’ve ID’d A. phaloides before in the field. This one would be high suspicion (+), and since it also doesn’t look like anything I do forage, would be a ‘pretty picture, learning experience’, and let’s keep looking.













  • Fair. And I see a lot of ‘why are the dems bothering to do action A, B, or C, when it won’t go anywhere?’ but with no thought as to what they could or should actually do. If the dems act, I see criticism, and if the dems don’t act I see criticism, all without any actual ‘hey, what if they did THIS’. Maybe you see the same thing, in conversations with folx, ‘dang this sux, dang that is intolerable’ but for me those conversations that don’t lead anywhere are incredibly demoralizing. I can’t just leave it hanging with ‘well gee willikers I guess there’s nothing to be done.’ It’s dysfunctional, demotivating, and depressing. So I’d rather my reps, who I’m paying good money to do something, actually try to do something.
