It’s a Tree. There was a tree there. Folks cut down a tree, they usually don’t pull the roots, it’s like a Whalefall for fungus and burrowing invertebrates. They feast for decades.
It’s tree roots. I know that’s not cool and adventurous but I promise you it’s tree roots.
No, that's where they dumped the body of my good friend, Mr. Five by Five. We called him that because he was five feet tall and five feet wide. Perfectly spherical.

ai generated mushroom guides could get people killed
'i'm not going to link any of them here, for a variety of reasons, but please be aware of what is probably the deadliest AI scam i've ever heard of: plant and fungi foraging guide books. the authors are invented, their credentials are invented, and their species IDs will kill you"
"update: i keep getting annoyed that the QTs are like "if this is true, it's horrifying" ..but you're right, you don't know me from a hole in the ground and you SHOULD worry about the veracity of anything you find online."
so i went looking

wild harvest publications... no named author? i n t e r e s t i n g
"To keep it economically prices" hmm *the design is very human meme*
this book that promises highly detailed descriptions doesn't even have color images unless you pay a premium
"Mushroom hunting is easier than you think, and less dangerous than everyone assumes." hmm. hmmmmm. yeah the government definitely put out those 'if you don't know what it is don't put it in your mouth' PSAs for no reason
tldr don't buy foraging guides off amazon if you can't locate a human author and verify their credentials yourself
So no more...
- lucky numbers for the Chinese (88)
- no more certain math equations (that not-equals sign)
- can't have anything rated 14+ or 18+ (14 and 18)
- certain Italian side-arms (92)
- labeling anything as poisonous (skull and crossbones)
- modern German military (the Iron Cross remains in use in modern German Bundeswehr, though this one I can understand somewhat)
- I guess we can't use the drag tool in most modern image editing software (the four-arrows in a cross). Understood.
The Fasces (middle bottom row) makes a lot of sense, that was used by the Italian Fascist Party back in the day.
I'm seriously hoping this is just a poorly executed joke however.
it looks like they were warning about Aryan Chaos Cultists but the image was too big and was cut off by the printer
I just noticed the radioactive symbol there too.
The context for the nuke one is the patch it's on: That's the Atomwaffen logo.
The one that looks like a half-printed Chaos star was the logo of the now-defunct Traditionalist Youth Network. I have no idea how old this image is, they might've been a thing when it was made.
As for the others:
88/14/18/92, these all have code meanings so context is key. If you see a vandalized synagogue with 1488 spray painted all over it, you know damn well they didn't mean Good Luck In Chinese Which Is Only Appropriate For Kids Ages 14 and Up.
Oh yeah, they deliberately took the not-equals sign to mean "races are not equal," nobody is going to give a shit if you use it for doing math
The difference between the Totenkopf and generic skull-and-crossbones is obvious to anyone not being deliberately obtuse.
You get a lot of Bundeswehr units rolling through American suburbia?
The click-and-drag tool? Seriously? That's what you're going with here? Anyway it's the Arrow Cross.
