:: 47-07 [AL] Everybody ::

Hello, yes I am still alive. Just that I have no mood to draw but when I have mood, I have no time... Ah ha ha...

These are my characters. I decided to draw the alternate outfits for some of them. Credits in the endnote. Also, Rocío's shroom is most likely the Liberty Cap (sine she is an adopted character, I asked her designer to confirm).

That aside, below the drawing are some descriptions on them, if you want to know them a bit (or as a refresher on my OCs).

Danish Biologists Cultivate Morel Mushrooms Year-Round With New Indoor Technique

The black morel mushrooms are grown in a climate-controlled environment that produces 20 pounds per square yard per year.

In the world of edible mushrooms, the morel #mushroom is one of the most coveted and tasty species. In spring, the highly seasonal mushrooms are found in forests all over the Northern Hemisphere among leaf litter around dead elm, Sycamore, apple, and Ash trees. Despite their popularity, the mushrooms are difficult to cultivate indoors. While some attempts have been made, the yield and quality of the product varies.

Now, two Danish biologists Jacob and Karsten Kirk, who are also twins, have found a reliable method to cultivate hefty amounts of morels indoors in a climate-controlled environment year-round, reports Alla Katsnelson for the New York Times. The technique is the culmination of four decades of research conducted in collaboration with the Royal Veterinary and Agricultural University and the University of #Copenhagen, per a statement. The growing method produces 4.2 kilograms of mushrooms over a 22-week growing cycle, which is equivalent to about 10 kilograms per square meter, or 20 pounds of mushrooms per square yard, per year.

#Amazon restricts authors from self-publishing more than three #books a day after #AI concerns

The new sets of rules come after Amazon removed suspected AI-generated books that were falsely listed as being written by the #author #JaneFriedman. Earlier this month, books about #mushroom foraging listed on Amazon were reported as likely to have been AI-generated and therefore containing potentially dangerous advice. AI-generated travel books have also flooded the site.

The AI #attack on #humanity has begun. Reviews as well as books are coming under the #control of AI. Soon it will no longer be possible to buy books from humans, because they can no longer be found in the confusion.

The AI #attack on #humanity has begun: With books about #mushrooms on Amazon, it is trying to poison people.

Leon Frey, a foraging guide and field mycologist at Cornwall-based Family Foraging Kitchen, which organises foraging field trips, said the samples he had seen contained serious flaws such as referring to “smell and #taste” as an identifying feature. “This seems to encourage #tasting as a method of #identification. This should absolutely not be the case,” he said.

Some wild mushrooms, like the highly poisonous #death cap, which can be mistaken for edible varieties, are #toxic.
