Ha! Yes, I was dx’d with fibro in 2007, and a few others since then. Yay zebras 🦓 (not just weird horses 🤣)

Isn’t it a bizarre illness?? I am ok, thank you for asking! I try to do what I can while I can, I love being out in the mountains.

I never recommend eating any mushroom without a positive ID of course. But to get good IDs we need a picture of the underside of the cap. And it’s always important to get a spore print first if you’re gonna eat one. At first glance I’d say possible honey fungus and a bolete of some kind? 🤔

Awww 😆🥰 I’ll do my best. I am definitely not an expert but I’ve been trying to learn more! There’s bound to be a group of mycelium lovers in your area too, sometimes it takes a group effort (and even dna sequencing) to get firm IDs!

I think the cups might be orange peel fungus and the blobby ones could be witches butter.

Not pictured: me after I slipped on wet leaves and fell down the stairs 🫠 the bruises are good from that one. Sometimes even with a pole it happens. Darn Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome!

Ooh interesting, I’ll check into it! Yeah these ones I couldn’t get a shot of the gills, that would have helped.
