Is there a reason for this? Are these the UK released copies?

Found this huge pine with massive shelf mushies! Boyfriend immediately clocked them as Reishi, but started to doubt himself as we got a closer look. Initially thought Hemlock Reishi, but clearly not growing on a hemlock. Getting mixed info on Google. Plan is to dehydrate and make a tincture.

Need an experienced mushroom IDer to help with this one! We are used to finding smooth chanterelle in our area, but have never come across golden. Located in south eastern CT.

Last week I got 24 Series 2 Mystery Figures online from
Walmart and managed to get 0 Jayfeather. Today, I stopped by my local Target for funsies since I saw someone post their Target had them, and alas, there was a box of 10!!! Only 2 were missing, and based off of the weights, I have yet again managed to not get Jayfeather. I'm going to return both Cloudtails and the Ravenpaw, but open up the 2 Ivypools, 1 Tigerstar, and one that is either Feathertail or Squirrelflight. My search continues.....

Alright y'all, my shipment came in and I weighed them as promised. I ordered 24 from Walmart for delivery. I don't even have words for how kinda bummed I am about the counts I received. Out of 24 figures, 8 Ravenpaw and 7 Cloudtail. That's more than a full box of 12 being dupes of just two figures. I don't know how the workers who box these up do it, but my shipment came with 24 boxes just strewn in the Walmart box, not in their original display case. And out of all 24, I didn't get a Jayfeather.....I feel weird about feeling bummed about this but like, man I feel like I should have gotten at least one of each after 24 boxes, right?? I ended up not opening 2 boxes that were Ravenpaw weights and 4 boxes that were Cloudtail weight. Thinking about returning them or exchanging them.

Anyways, onto the weights. I included a screenshot of the weights I took. I found that often the weights of the dupes were 1g off and .02-.05 off, but still resulted in the same figure. For example, Ravenpaw was anywhere between 1.71oz-1.75oz OR 49g-51g.
I didn't get a weight in Feathertail bc her oz and grams were the same as Squirrelflight, so I thought it was a dupe. That being said, similar weights for Feathertail and Squirrelflight, but it could have been a fluke so I wouldn't use that as actual identifying data for Feathertail.

Final counts:
8 Ravenpaw (2 unopened)
7 Cloudtail (4 unopened)
3 Squirrelflight
2 Tigerstar
2 Tawnypelt
1 Ivypool
1 Feathertail
0 Jayfeather (💔)

Some reworks I've been working on! Took the advice of someone on here and purchased some Apoxie Sculpt and it's worked SO well! Broke out my Dremel for more precise detail and sandpaper for smoothing. I dont have any characters planned for any of these so please drop your recs below!
Cinderpelt got a new leg and removed the flower to resculpt her face.
Two different scourges both got a facial reconstruction and removed their claws, one got a new tail. One of them I had already painted white as a base and decided I wanted to sand it down more.
Silverstream got a new tail and wider ear tips.
Firestar got a thicker tail.
Brightheart had her scars removed so I can resculpt later.

I've made a few more repainted mini figures since my last post and wanted to drop some photos!
In order:

Leafpool
Briarlight
Alderheart (wish he had been a little bit more ginger)
Sandstorm
Cloudtail
Jayfeather
Sorreltail
My cat, Boulder, whose Warrior name is Boulderstrike (real photo of him at the end earning his Warrior name!)

Very excited for the new figures to come out to have more stances to work with! Especially excited for Ivypool's figure for reworks!

Boulder was living in a cat colony at my apartment complex when I found him in 2022. He walked into my apartment and never left. He's gone through 2 moves with me, and is the perfect boy. He still goes outside because he wouldn't be happy otherwise and loves his dog brother. He's a total Warrior when he's outside (I watched him chase a bobcat out of our yard) but will be in your lap the second your butt hits a chair, purring and drooling. What's his Warrior name, rank, and clan??

Decided to check out my local Walmart on a whim to see if they had any mystery figures. Last 4 times I've checked they've been out of stock, but I figured it didn't hurt to go again. They had a brand new fresh box of 12 out! Seeing as I know the box layout, I knew which I wanted to use to customize, and of course try for Spottedleaf. I thought the way the boxes were set up were you could only have a chance at getting Silverstream and Cinderpelt in the front top two spaces, or one of the two and Spottedleaf, but never all 3. Upon opening the boxes, I pulled both Silverstream and Cinderpelt and knew my chances for Spottedleaf were gone. You can imagine my surprise when two boxes later I pulled Spottedleaf??? Has anyone had this happen? Are the box layouts changing? There was only one full box of 12 out so there was no chance of someone mixing up the boxes between two sets of 12. I'm not upset at all, just a bit confused!
Including the photo that was posted here that I have saved with the box locations, I'd credit the person who made it but I don't know who it was!

I was at a used bookstore yesterday and came across a copy of Twilight and noticed that the cover was different than the OG art cover. And I don't mean different as in the old OG vs new artist's covers, I mean they were both done by the original artist. I tried looking it up but couldn't find anything about it. Does anyone have an answer? First photo is the cover I'm used to seeing, second photo is the one I found at the bookstore.

Just about finished with the Love Puppy sweater I've been working on! I made the patch from fabric I thrifted and then sewed it onto a thrifted sweater vest. Im so thrilled with how it turned out!! ❤️🤗🩷

I've had the idea to make Warrior Cat clan logo sweatshirts rattling around in my brain for some time now. Finally brought the vision to life! I've never been super into the printed Warrior Cats sweatshirts I've seen online over the years, and wanted to make one that I would actually want to wear. Not too obvious, but still recognizable. All materials used are thrifted and upcycled as to not introduce more consumables into a world that is already saturated with stuff. I had this pinecone fabric laying around and thought it would be perfect for Shadowclan!
The design is on the back of the shirt, and I want to add something to the front, but I'm not sure what. I was thinking a paw print to the left upper chest? Words are hard for me to make into patches, but my sewing machine does have the ability to make letters. Maybe wrote "SHADOWCLAN" on the upper left chest? Or "SHADOWCLAN WARRIOR"? I'm open to ideas!
