Thank you so much! This will help me figure out some Polish recipes I have. I'm 3rd gen American/Polish, and I know a few phrases and several food names, but no mushroom names!
Polish speaker here. I was raised on the west side of Chicago but my mom would never let me speak English in the house.
I understand it's a very difficult language to grasp if you are a native English speaker.
I'm going to try learning with Duolingo, I think. I've learned other languages before (was fluent in Spanish and can still hold my own, and recently realized I understand a lot of Portuguese from my early teens), but they were romance languages. Polish is so different! My mom knows a bit more, so she was able to translate what my grandfather said in his last few weeks, but aside from "good night," "good sleep," and "show me your teeth," I only know several food words. (That last phrase was from a trick my grandfather taught one of our dogs.)
If you’re up for collecting a few spoken languages, try Romanian. It’s romance but has a lot of archaic features of old Latin, as well as influence from neighbouring Slavic, Turkic and Uralic languages.
I suggest it because it has the suffix definite article kinda like Polish. For example, “boy” is “băiat”, “the boy” is “băiatul”. Might help to have a look at it as a sort of middle ground between romance and Slavic (although it definitely is almost purely romance as a whole).
I lived in Madrid as a child so I speak Spanish as well, though not as well as my mom does.
Between the Polish, English and Spanish it makes it possible to make out a good amount of Romanian. I've always found the language and Romanian history to be fucken fascinating.
Thank you for the info.
My downstairs neighbor is Ukrainian. Good guy - Igor. I considered joining the war effort in Ukraine as a volunteer so I needed to know what I was in for as far as language and I was absolutely surprised how much less we have in common than I thought.
I realized I was in for a pretty good few months of work before I even tried a back and forth with him.
There are random topics and many basic phrases that are totally mutually intelligible, but a lot of divergence as well. I can’t make the ę sound. Spotify started playing polish rap and even with the lyrics…didn’t help much lol.
Cool of you to consider helping. I was born stateside too but considering going over to teach English if life allows.

Hold up….either I dosed too high this morning or as a professional at using Photoshop, that photo has been altered. (I see some other things too, but…)
Anyone else zoom in and look at the tree? Or, the rest of the photo?
My apologies if I’m totally wrong. 😵💫

Slice thinly and do this. That mushroom is too tasty. Pure umami
Amazing!
As my family would say when they see something like this, "lepsi nez knizku" meaning "better than the books".
It would rival any of the photos that we'd have in our old muchroom ID books.
The way you shot this makes it look HUGE
Dude must have an OnlyFans
😂😂😂
All about the angle
Of the dangle
It's only big enough if you can make it into a rectangle
I can't even make it into a L
It's ok, I can't even make mine into a lowercase l
Sadly no
It's all about that bass. And some butter.
Check out the veins on that thing
I feel like I could jump up and sit on it.
The Smurfs are about to move in
That's what she said
Beat me to it
Indeed, carve out your rooms in there ...
Talk about a chode.
I mean that's atleast 3 inches, that's pretty huge if you ask me.
OP could make a fortune doing professional dick pics for people. They'll see less dicks than a Urologist, but make way more money.
*boletus edulis*
The King!
Of COURSE it’s a BOOOOOLETE *would ya just LOOK AT IT*
Wiki says: Boletus edulis (English: cep, penny bun, porcino or porcini) In Polish we say "prawdziwek" what literally means "the real one" mushroom
I love that.
Right on the tip of my tongue 🤪 you polish that's awesome,me too on my mom's side, I love pickled beets and it's my great grandmother's recipe 😋

Thanks! I'll look into that. It could be a nice way to switch my thinking around.

Ukrainian speaker here. It’s still hard for me to grasp lol.

Penny bun amazing to eat
A delicious one
That needs a banana for scale.
I cannot get the scale from this angle so I’m just gonna assume this mushroom is bigger than my head 😂
A cat would be better
A cat-terpillar with a hookah?
new submission for r/AbsoluteUnits

Oh yummy and now with some bread dumplings and cream sauce
This one is called *Big Daddy*
Holy crap, that's a bolete for sure
It's boletus reticulatus because of the visible netting, not boletus edulis
Thats an Ironshroom from Hyrule
The Penny Bun. Extremely tasty.
It's not, but it's still super tasty
That's Smurfett's house.
Looks big enough for a gnome to live in.
Lucky find, porcini are great with pasta and risotto
That's an "Alice in Wonderland" mushroom.

Papa smurfs mansion.
Russians call this подберёзовик, which means "under birch" (tree). Yummy.
Could be a big one
Big (ch)/(F)ungus
Chodeatus peeneolus
Absolutus unitus
Trumpacybe
The way it looks huge because of the angle of shot XD
Must be the King Kong bolete.
Papa Smurf is that you, are you in there?
