What's The Mushroom In Your PFP? It Looks Neat :3

What's the mushroom in your PFP? It looks neat :3

It is an old Prince (Agaricus augustus) mushroom! Here are some more photos of this mushroom (all taken by me) in different stages of it’s life cycle!

The Prince mushroom is edible and widely sought after, and I personally can confirm that it tastes good! I’ve foraged and eaten them before, and I don’t regret it! (Just make sure to only eat them when they’re young, the photo in the middle was taken right before I ate those mushrooms, but I definitely wouldn’t eat the ones in the last photo!)

Prince mushrooms can be really big, with caps up to 30cm in diameter! They are found fruiting at the base of conifer trees (but never off the trees themselves) typically in clumps of around three or five. They tend to fruit during early or late summer, and surprisingly enough, have adapted to thrive in areas of human activity. The ones I found were actually in my backyard, which was pretty insane for such a highly prized mushroom! This is the third year in a row they’ve fruited at the base of one particular tree in my yard, so I suspect the mycelium system is in a mycorrhizal relationship with that tree! Works well for me, I get free mushrooms to eat! I’ve spore printed them, and they have dark brown spores and gills. They taste good sautéed with a bit of garlic butter, but I’ve also thrown them into pasta sauce which was pretty tasty!

If my asks get annoying tell me cause aaauuhhhhmm I feel like I'm annoying

YOU ARENT ANNOYING I love getting your asks!!!

This is what your character would look like in my original universe

This is Varner. If in kration, the varners in my universe are a mixture of two different species. Such a creature is balanced and slightly better than the usual kind

Well, anyway, there are too many things in my universe, I think it won't be very interesting to listen to

WOAH THIS IS REALLY COOL!!!!

I love them so much!!!! And I would definitely love to hear more about this universe if you want to share, it seems super interesting!

Are all the siblings in the au all living in the same slug tree/colony??

Yup!

Survivor and Monk were born there, then Arti was invited in, then Hunter was taken in (he didn’t really have a choice lol) and then finally Saint and Inv showed up and asked to join.

The results of the ask blog poll have been very clear, so I’m going to go ahead and make that lol. You can ask the characters more about their lives then!

Saint comforts Artificer

I hope you like it. Drawing with a color restriction is a bit difficult

Woah! I actually love the way you drew Saint’s eyes, it was probably hard with the colour pallet but it think I the colours look really cool!

You are so nice, I love all the art you make of my au so much!!! <3<3<3

I have only three questions. What is your favorite mushroom? What is your favorite animal? And what is your favorite color palette?

Don't ask questions, just answer

Hehe, this is the third time I’ve been asked for my favourite mushroom! My answer can be found here, although I had five favourites in the end lol.

Favourite animal is also hard to choose, I like cats, bees, squirrel monkeys, bats and crows!

For colour palette, I’ve never actually thought about that before! I don’t really have a favourite, but I found a few pretty ones online that I like!
