“Orange mushrooms? What’s next?”

Even the mushrooms are coming out for Trump!

Along the lines of “Once in a blue moon” maybe we can say “Once in an orange mushroom”.; ১৯/৭/২৪, ১২:৩৯ PM

amr বলেছেন...: I'd guess these are *Lactarius*, one of the "Milk Mushrooms", so-called because, like AMR, they bleed if they're cut. That is, they exude a "milk" or "latex" from damaged tissues. Some of those latexes are fun because they change color after exposure to air for a few minutes. One group of species is usually orangish and has orangish latex that turns kelly green after exposure.

I haven't looked much into these except for the ones I ran into personally.
None are dangerously toxic, and a brief taste-test of a small piece of the raw cap (chew and spit) will indicate potential toxicity: those that produce gastrointestinal discomfort are spicy-hot/bitter, often intolerably so. It seems that the compounds that are unpleasant to the mouth are also unpleasant to the gut.; ১৯/৭/২৪, ১:০৯ PM

GILLS! That's it!

That was a very annoying tip-of-tongue moment, and I couldn't give it my attention because I had another pressing item on my list.

Thank you!; ১৯/৭/২৪, ১:২১ PM

Mi Esposa says Bullshit, Ribbs have no pleasure. A true woman only needs the pure non latexed flesh.

amr বলেছেন...: Reading Bumble Bee's link:
Names with the specific epithet caffra or similar will be changed to affra or similar. A bit annoying (I favor not making values-based changes like this because that way leads to chaos once more values change), but at least they're not just removing priority to those names and replacing them haphazardly. (I assume it will be treated as unintentional spelling errors in original descriptions, or suffix changes to match the gender of the genus.) And both names aren't that far apart alphabetically.

Interestingly, the "Red-Shafted" subspecies of Northern Flicker (the North American Woodpecker that is "Yellow-Shafted" in the east) has its subspecific epithet caffra as well because the scientist who described it was a European who was sent the specimen and it was mistakenly believed to have come from South Africa instead of western North America. The governing body for American bird nomenclature has been petitioned to change that name as well, but the body has not because it does not formally recognize subspecies.; ২০/৭/২৪, ৯:৩১ AM
