some are fine with his hechsher on the Costco mango.

According to the CRC, dried mango does not need hashgacha at all.

is this kosher sensitive? @moko

I've seen herbal mushrooms marketed two ways:
Dried & Ground- I wouldn't be concerned
Powder- is probably spray dried and should be a Kashrus concern.
Liquid extract is probably ok but does have some possibility of Kashrus issues

Can a whetstone be used for both Milchig and Fleishig knives? I would guess that the main question would be whether or not it becomes hot enough for Bliyos, anybody have an idea?

Rabbi Simkin and Rabbi Taub.
that was supposed to be temporary - https://www.theyeshivaworld.com/news/general/1461273/rabbi-binyomin-taub-to-temporarily-take-over-reb-zushe-blech-zl-hechsher.html
https://jewishlink.news/features/23218-rabbi-zushe-yosef-blech-is-remembered-for-his-impact-on-the-kosher-food-world
if it became permanent  do we know why they are not on CRC or Kosherquest list? (they were recommended back when Rabbi Blech was alive https://twitter.com/SSman111/status/1147014386017607681)

Earth Kosher was off the lists for a while and is now back on
