There’s a good joke, but I’ll be damned if I’m smart enough to know what is

I am also not smart but I’m guessing there’s a mushroom named for Gandalf (the name in the last panel, the cap in the second panel). And it’s a saprotroph (sp? wood eater?). And it’s something else that I don’t understand. Pretty sure a bivalve is a mussel.

It’s not referring to a valve but rather the structures protecting the spore bearing tissue of the mushroom. Bivelangiocarpic means there are two veils protecting the spore bearing tissue until that matures. My source: davidmoore.org.uk/…/Ch12_04.htm

Found a picture of it and looks like the cap on gandalfs head might not be the mushroom in the meme scd.landcareresearch.co.nz/Specimen/PDD 106954

I don’t technically get it either, but even so, “good” feels far too generous.
