This is actually a pretty nice little space compared to some of what I've seen in New York City. At least there's a door to the toilet.

That NoSleep one about the guy who found a tiny cave and went to explore it was pretty good. I forget what it was called, but I know it's all available (it had been a series on NoSleep, iirc) as a single story on some site somewhere. It might have even been turned into a novella.
As somebody who forages for both, I can confidently say that you are unfortunately incorrect. Just read up a little bit on the modern history of mycology and you will learn that experts can't even identify one fungi from another without looking at its DNA in many cases.
You missed the word "typically". I well know that there are exceptions.
You could make a good point with better spelling, grammar, and word choice.
Finding random mushrooms and learning to identify them (which includes learning if they are edible) is absolutely how you should start in amateur mycology, especially if you don't have any mycology groups nearby that you can join. And if you do, you know what that group will do? Gather random mushrooms to learn/teach identification.
Just don't go around eating random stuff.
Yes, but mushrooms are typically harder to identify than plants are, so AI is surely not very good at it. Even mycologists are only learning in recent years that some mushrooms which they had long believed to be the same species are in fact entirely different species (thanks to genetic testing).
I myself forage for both plants and mushrooms and I practiced identifying mushrooms for years before I would eat anything I found.
Western Washington doesn't get a lot of snow unless you're in the mountains.
I think it's aimed at older people who are used to channel flipping on cable TV. In other words, mostly boomers, probably some older Gen X.
When I was house hunting a couple of years back, our real estate agent brought us to a house (a smallish but very reasonably sized house in the US) which had no bathtub. I walked into that bathroom, looked at her, and said I'm not buying a house without a bathtub. You know how much it can cost to totally remodel a bathroom? And the hassle? Fuck that.
