The last post has reached the bumping threshold, so I post my comment here again s.t. you can take a look.
---- Translation done. That's really interesting. While wild yukkuris shouldn't be eaten even after cooking (due to the parasites, unedible debris, toxins accumulated and more importantly, poor taste), they could be used as substrates to plant mushrooms.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> There has been concerns that the Chinese artists feel a little bit uncomfortable for their work posted here without being notified. While they generally welcome sharing their efforts to the internationals, they feel respected if notified before their works are uploaded here. Some of them felt kinda embarrassed for their prototypes and sketches being uploaded.
It's all the artists' kindness willing to spend time on drawing and to share. While the uploaders are selfless volunteers and their efforts are appreciated, communication always makes good things even better. I understand that Google Translate might be the only way you and them to communicate, please take this reminder into account.
Well, I don't think that that japanese artists are notified when their work is posted here as well, but neither tsuramboaki or sanaeaki had mentioned any problem with this, but that's probably because OYP became the image archive of Yukkuris in general which they also when they look for old stuff. I can understand where the chinese artists come from but this is the internet, it's a very common thing for pics to be archived in imageboards, like danbooru, even if the author isn't notified. Maybe they should consider OYP more than just "a unrelated/international site that posts our works" and see it as an archive they can also use to check old works, that could help to feel less embarassed about it.
If you uploaded it to the internet, well you made that choice and deal with it
The yukkuris are omnivorous; they eat fruits, weeds, insects, nuts as well as mushrooms. Among the mushrooms some are rapid-reproducing, and can grow even after being collected into yukkuris' nests. These fungus are necessary for producing Cordyukkuricceps. They usually adopt spacious tree holes for storing food and fending off the wind.At the late fall, it get colder and colder. Start building nests and collecting food, the yukkuris prepare for the Winter. I'll introduce to you 'Cordyukkuricceps', which is a rare herbal medicine.
I adopted johnving's idea, Cordyukkuriceps, as the name of this kind of cordyceps.
Basically, cordyceps is a worm infected by a fungus. After the latent period, the fungus eats up the worm in Summer and turns into kind of mushroom. It's a quite precious herbal medicine (if you consider it as 'herb').
