Also, that looks like a woman.
Fixed, thanks
Also I'm in my late 20s, I feel like I can still be a boy quite often. It felt like we were kids looking at a massive mushroom in the woods.
(narrator): but it was not fixed
Wait, I thought I changed it to reishi. Is it not displaying for everyone else?
It's updated for me. Might be a federation issue on their end.
That just wasn't the part of the title I was focused on / expecting to be fixed.
That just looks like an old pile of meat on the forest floor

I am uneducated and curious, is it common practice to disturb these specimens?
What you see here is the mushroom, basically the gonads of the organism (technically the “fruiting body”, something that is there to spread the spores). The bulk of the fungus is inside the dead tree, putting out digestive juices and eating it.
There’s no real harm to it to take it out. Or to use a knife and take a piece of it. It’s common practice to use porous bags to carry them so you’re helping it spread the spores around as you’re foraging.
Really cool thanks
It had broken off of that log before we found it. It was all dried out and was surprisingly light. I would not normally disturb something this extraordinary, but it seemed harmless given the circumstances.
Thank you
something disgusting off one of those dermatology tv shows
Ewwww, a tree scab!
Idk that kind of looks like woman to me.
Reishi messes me up something awful. Strongest and weirdest (definitely not good weird) reaction to a tea I have ever had.
Is it hallucinogenic?
No. It's more like a weird sedative.
A friend of mine says it helps with her epilepsy, but in general I don't buy into the "health" claims
Placebo is a powerful non-drug.
