Enjoyed your journey. I need to start paying more attention to shrooms when out in the hollows around here.
Reminds me of researching a mushroom found in the garden mulch. Forgot what it was but the book told a story about that one. A lady who ate too many was very ill and tripping a bit. She was reported to have said, "if this is what its like to die from mushrooms I'm all for it" :-)
Hahahahaha be careful with the big white ones. I'm told they look like angel wings mushrooms, which give you a heck of a high the first day and complete organ shutdown the next day. Not something that people survive.
In our mulch we have stinkhorns that like to pop up occasionally, but that's the only one I've actually been able to identify.
If you're into podcasts, check Paul Stamets on Joe Rogan's podcast. That's what got me started when it was recommended by @rawutah
