Welcome to the bear site! We’re happy to have you.

PPB is most powerful when it’s occasional. Only post if nobody’s posted it yet, and if the thread doesn’t even dignify a response.

Wagner bois, wandering into a war zone. “Oh boy, we just love killin’!”

I don’t think anyone here actually speaks Italian, so probably not. :(

I was under the impression that there were some Wagner guys had been in the area already, fighting jihadist groups. Any confirmation as to whether or not that’s still the case?

You ever think about what it would be like if we never left the oceans?

Anarchists are welcome!

All good, home skillet. Everyone makes mistakes. We’re a leftist instance here and don’t allow right wingers or libertarians.

Good to know. I’ll just keep my fun facts in the trivia zone.

I’m not a biologist or anything, all I know is that mycologists do not consider morels or truffles to be mushrooms.

Chantarelles do not have true gills, that’s true. I was just trying to be simple with the description of gills. But you’re absolutely right that truffles are not mushrooms either. They’re an entirely different type of sporocarp.

No gills, no pores: not a mushroom. They’re actually called Sac fungi.

I prefer the ones that are also a bottle opener.

Protists haven’t really been an accepted kingdom in biology since the early 90s. While they’re now in kingdom Chromista, algae were under Protista and are commonly eaten. Seaweeds/kelp like kombu, nori, wakame, and dulse, as well as single-celled algae like chlorella and spirulina are some examples you might recognise.

Plenty of people eat algae (and diatoms), which are neither plants, animals, or fungi, they’re chromists. Also, mushrooms aren’t the only fungi we eat. Wila and Caribou Lichen are examples of edible lichens, and Morels actually aren’t mushrooms.

There are also tons of bacteria and other fungi that are used in the production of food, but I don’t think they count directly as food.
