Mushrooms of the Day
Auricularia auricula-judae
An edible mushroom, black and frilly. You can eat it raw or dried. It’s got a rubbery crunch. “If there’s a hole, why not cover it with a frilly cloth?” it suggested, but it’s a mushroom, so no one knew what it was saying.
Amanita muscaria
Red caps with white polka dots. Like the poisonous mushrooms you find drawn in storybooks. It may resemble the 1-Ups from a certain video game franchise you might have heard of, but you wouldn’t want to try eating a real one! It felt the red filament of fate and sprouted. The mushroom Claude fell in love with.
“I shall continue to protect Agnes!” it declared, trying to endure the ticklish sensation beneath its feet…er, stalk.
Amanita griseoturcosa
An elegant mushroom, its cap a muted blue-gray color with a white stalk and gills. It is unknown if they are poisonous or not, but since it’s part of the Amanita family, it’d be safer not to eat one. Good friends with Amanita viridissima, another greenish-looking mushroom.
“I had to sprout when someone mentioned green!” it declared, on a mission.
Amanita viridissima
An Amanita whose name means green. It’s a dull blue-green, or rather, a pale green that reminds me of zombie skin. It’s beautiful, but the warts on the cap and the handle look a bit gross. Still, the gills are pale yellow and fluffy, making me think, hmm, maybe just a little nibble…?
It was happy to find itself among fellow greenish mushrooms.
Russula virescens
A bluish-green cap with cracks all over it. It’s not very toothsome, but tastes pretty good, so it’s best to avoid eating it raw or eating too much of it. …Why, I wonder what happens?
“You have good taste, complimenting Agnes’s eye color!” it sprouted, immediately liking Lady Simone.
Pleurotus djamor
A deep pink cap that gradually fades to ashy white. It’s edible but gets tougher as it grows, so it’s best to eat it while it’s young. Its beautiful pink color fades with heat, so it’s good for slicing raw in a salad.
“Never mind eye color! I’m here to represent hair color!” it said, although it was worried that it would lose its chance to participate if it happened to be cooked…
