Living things are born, live, die, and then decay aided by the fungus. In turn some of that fungus is picked, then sautéed in butter, garlic, shallots, and white wine. Then that is eaten by living things which also eventually die. It is the circle of life.
I guess is not incitement if the approved side talks this way. I don't know how I missed this when it originally aired, a week ago. My trusted sources must be overwhelmed.
Now THAT looks like it may well be the "real" turkey tail, Trametes versicolor. Note the white peripheral margin and darker concentric rings of brownish shades more centrally.
Seeing a whitish pore surface on the underside, with pores that are so minuscule they are barely visible, would clinch it. About 3-6 pores per millimeter.
Again I implore Meade and/or Ann to photograph the undersides and stems of their fungal finds in high resolution macro mode. It is safe for you to uproot or break off one or two fruiting bodies, and harmless to the fungus. Or at least shoot an "upskirt" shot from underneath it!
Nate Silver : "The presidential election isn't a toss-up As our model launches, either Biden or Trump could easily win — but the odds are in the ex-president’s favor."
The difference for Biden, the last time, was that they stopped counting the votes in the middle of the night, when it looked like it was going to be a loss for Biden.
@n.n. If we're reviving mosses, I'd like to see the revival of George Mosse. If only to hear what he has to say about the ugly building which bears his name.
From the 538 article linked above - at one point Nate Silver says,
"there’s absolutely no doubt that similar states do move in similar directions from election to election."
And this made me think about the border countries in Ohio and Pennsylvania, which usually vote in absolute lockstep because they're basically one voting cohort separated by a border.
I've never seen Althouse refer or link to the Advanced Book Exchange (or ABEbooks.com)—a consortium of 10,000 or so used bookstores around the world, the umbrella organization for which is owned these days by Amazon—the former of which, as it happens, typically has greater selection among used books at (usually) better prices than does Amazon proper.
Anyway, given Althouse's Amazon affiliate status—to wit: “I am a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for me to earn fees by linking to Amazon.com and affiliated sites”—so, I wondered if ABE qualifies for the Amazon kickback.
According to Bing, it does: “Yes, that’s correct! When a blogger participates in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, they can earn fees by linking to Amazon.com and affiliated sites. Since AbeBooks is affiliated with Amazon, purchases made through links to AbeBooks would also contribute to their affiliate income. It’s a way for bloggers to monetize their content while recommending products or services they genuinely appreciate. 😊📚🛒”
So, I would encourage Althouse to include the appropriate (monetized) Abebooks.com link in her blog header in addition to linking to Amazon proper, and perhaps also refer to books at ABE from time to time in addition to Amazon itself.
Today a young co-worker asked me to translate a handwritten note for her.
I did calligraphy for years and I still have a hard time deciphering the monks' careful and beautiful lettering from the Middle Ages. So I'm willing to accept - grudgingly - that script changes over time.
My kids can just puzzle out their grandparents' birthday cards (in beautiful Palmer method cursive).
But I'm not going quietly! Curmudgeon all the way!
"I have a very part time job in a very small office. Today a young co-worker asked me to translate a handwritten note for her. It was in cursive. SMH."
Here's a humblebrag... my sister is doing some family history searching and mentioned some possible locations for an elusive dead relative, in western Ontario. That led me to look at church records in Essex County from the late 1700s. All in cursive, all in French. I was able to read through all of the records from parishes in the county - not all that many - and wrote down names, dates, etc. It was only after that when I discovered there was a typed index on the same site. I was annoyed that I hadn't looked there first, but somewhat pleased that my transcriptions were nearly all correct.
I gave up a lot of eyesight, puzzling out manuscript letters and journals at work. I enjoyed it though, being the first person in years, decades, or even centuries to read them.
There's nothing like original and primary sources for grokking the people of the past . . .
@Hassayamper I think that the majority of these are more likely the "False Turkey Tail" Stereum ostrea, or perhaps a different Stereum. They seem to be thinner and less hairy on top. Compare with the first and second photos here: https://www.mushroomexpert.com/phlebia_incarnata.html
And I think I see some Phlebia (a gelatinous crust fungus with a wavy surface) in between them. They're often found together. I think one might be parasitic on the other, but MushroomExpert doesn't report of anything published.: https://www.mushroomexpert.com/phlebia_incarnata.html
In the upper-left of the photo there's some definite Trichaptum biforme "Purple Tooth", with a toothed underside and a purplish margin. I think that's also what the grayish caps growing out of the other side of the log are, too.

Now that’s a good looking fungus.

Meade, I expect you to step up here. Our Hostess is now providing TWO ongoing photo series, in addition to her other public services.

If they can't stop the count, is a win for Trump.
I'd be proud to have that fungus in my 'hood, and I think I do.
It's a revival of mosses with 10 fun guys.

Funny how that didn't happen in 2020...
The fungus of the day is CNN. Is this CNN?

Time for the big VP announcement. I still predict Vance. Biden is kaput.

Filed it under "work smarter, not harder."
