FOTD #018 : devil's cigar! (chorioactis geaster)

the devil's cigar (also called the texas star or キリノミタケ) is a fungus in the family chorioactidaceae. as its names suggest, it is found in texas & japan. in texas, it grows on the stumps & dead roots of cedar elms; in japan, it grows on dead oaks.

the big question : can i bite it?? nope - while it is not poisonous, it is still considered inedible.

c. geaster description :

"young specimens of c. geaster have a hollow, club-shaped, dark-brown fruit body, connected to a stem. the stem, which is usually buried in the ground, is shorter than the hollow fruit body or equals it in length, although the stem length is somewhat variable depending on the depth of the underground root to which it is attached. the flesh of the stem & the wall of the fruit body are white, while the inner surface is yellowish-white, turning light brown with age. the fruit body varies in width from 1.2 to 3.5 cm (0.5 to 1.4 in) in the thickest portion, & has a length of 4 to 12 cm (1.6 to 4.7 in); the stem is 0.75 to 1.5 cm (0.3 to 0.6 in) wide by 1 to 5 cm (0.4 to 2.0 in) long. both stem & fruit body are covered by a dense layer of soft, brown, velvety "hairs", or tomentum. in maturity, the fruit body splits open into four to seven rays that curve downward, similar to mushrooms of the genus geastrum. the spores are borne on the inner surface of the rays, which, depending on the maturity of the specimen, may range in color from whitish to saffron to salmon to butterscotch to chestnut. the leathery rays are up to 0.35 cm (0.1 in) thick."

Attended a gallery opening at Terra Toys, theme was Fabulous Fungi... or something like that. Of course I had to follow the theme, as many did, both staff and customers.

They did face painting, and I had wine and cheese while looking at all the art for sale.

Ended up getting earrings from one artist and also bought some toys, candy, and a coloring book.

National Onion Day

Today, farmers in the United States are collecting millions of onions. They will be heading for store shelves to provide families with the fresh, nutritional, tasty power to improve meals and boost the body’s immunity. Onions have numerous advantages, such as enhancing meals with a variety of flavors. According to recent research, consuming onions also helps the body fight colorectal cancer and breast cancer, as well as heart disease and diabetes.

National Onion Day commemorates the incorporation of the National Onion Association in 1913. The organization was created to protect the interests of America’s onion growers, and onions remain their business to this day. Today, the group represents over 500 onion producers, shippers, packers, and suppliers across the country.

History of National Onion Day

In June 2022, the National Onion Association established National Onion Day to commemorate the organization’s 53rd anniversary. They officially incorporated on June 27, 1913, in Ohio, and represent almost 500 onion farmers, shippers, packers, and allied members across the U.S.

Onions are one of the world’s oldest cultivated vegetables, having originated in Central Asia and spread around the world. Some researchers believe the onion has been cultivated for at least 5,000 years. Onions were possibly eaten for thousands of years and cultivated all over the world at the same time, since they grew wild in different locations.

We rely on the onion to improve the flavor of our savory meals, whether we use a sweet, white, red, or ever-popular yellow onion. They complement meats and salads, making the versatile onion a culinary powerhouse. It’s the needed seasoning alongside our salt and pepper, whether added to eggs or pickled. While the onion is low in calories, it is also high in vitamin C and antioxidants, and can increase your dietary fiber and vitamin B6 intake. Unlike many other low-calorie ingredients, onions provide a high nutritional content without compromising flavor. And it makes no difference what you do to it; pickled or raw, caramelized, sauteed, or pureed — the onion adds a lot of flavor to a dish. With so many types to choose from, onions present numerous opportunities to reap the benefits.

Knight of Swords. Art by Joseph Buckley, from The Mushroom Hunter's Tarot.

Riding her horse at sunset, the Knight of Swords searches for what may be the rarest mushroom in the world: the Texas star. Confounding mycologists, the mushroom is found only in Texas and Japan, two locations of the same latitude but separated by thousands of miles. First resembling a dark cigar butting up from the ground, it splits open into a beautiful orange-brown star. Texas recently made the Texas star its official state mushroom. Only a select amount of hunters are said to have seen it, and the Knight is determined to be one of them.

Guys you so need to watch You are what you eat: twin experiment on netflix because oh my god . Its only 4 episodes long but it tells you so much stuff like how farmed fish are WAY more fattier than wild fish and how agriculture deals more than half the percentage of pollution than all of transportation does???? and how industrial farming literally sprays their animal waste on the people who live around it's doorstep, literally on their clothes line and how most of the people its affecting are poor and people of color ??? and one of the twins visceral fat (fat around organs that is very bad) went from .37 to. 0.03 pounds IN EIGHT WEEKS?? thats insane???? And they actually portray both the statistics that confirm their hypothesis and also the ones that dont?? Literally such a good show

#alliums in the wind #they also show like a woman who made artificial cheese that actually tastes like cheese #and meat that tastes liek meat made from mushrooms and bacon. that is almost identical to bacon. but its mushrooms??? #and liquid fake cheese to put on pizzas that they took to the pizza expo. and all the pizza guys said it was good. #and theres a guy in texas who raises cows on actual sustainable farming #literally such an amazing show. to me.
