@ottaross @Hagukh Splitgill it is! 😊
@ottaross Could it be a white cheese polypore? Try looking under it. It can be hard to tell the difference between splitgill and polypore when they are this young

Apaprently, having suffered from #covid19 recently makes you an easy target for virus infections. I learned today that the immune system may overreact and attack the infected body part, even if it is just a common cold virus.

For me, the offending part was apparently my larynx, which made me quite uncomfortable. It effectively gave me false croup. It was so bad that @FiXato sent me to urgent care . An inhaler and some steroids later, and I'm slowly feeling better. Still can't talk though.

@FiXato #3 is probably a Russula, but it is hard to determine without touching the mushroom. They crumble like cheese, and the colours in the caps are like watercolours - they are bright and variable, and they wash out easily in rainy weather!

#4 is a honey fungus. Despite the name, they aren't edible: the honey fungus is actually a species complex where some species are toxic, and it is almost impossible to tell the difference!

@FiXato I'm not 100% on English mushroom names so I had to use wikipedia for translation:

#1 is an orange birch bolete. The Norwegian name "rødskrubb" refers to the rough surface of the stem.

#2 is an ink cap. This white one is the only edible ink cap.

@FiXato The voice has a name! I'll definitely be seeking out her other music now.

Being fairly new to #Demoscene, I’m completely blown away by this video. It’s the Making Of “Second Reality” by Future Crew, a very influential PC demo and certainly one of my favourites. And it’s just a bunch of finnish kids in a cramped room talking over one another? :D I especially love the music in this - Jonne Valtonen / “Purple Motion” is 16 years old here. Absolutely incredible, these people are wizards!

I really enjoyed the Amigacapella animation at #revision2021 . Did I hear some classic tracker music in there?
A spaceship landed, and an alien emerged.
"Greetings, Earthlings, we come in peace. Take us to-"
"Do you have a tractor beam?"
"-your... Pardon?"
"A tractor beam. Or some other way of lifting something huge and heavy?"
"Of course, but-"
"Do you know where the Suez channel is?"
