These are regular folks mushrooms then, not ones that let you see through the eyes of a crow?I may need your advice in a few weeks time. I was given two mushroom growing kits for Christmas and I've fired the starting gun. It's all rather exciting. I might get a crop big enough to make a single omelette.
Well, they claim to be oysters and shiitakes and I don't think they came from a head shop in Amsterdam. If they did, think of the money I'll save on air fares with my new ability to fly.
You are 56 years old?This has been my first Christmas and New Year without alcohol (apart from hand sanitizer, obv...) for approximately 52 years
Young friend pointed out some fly agaric last month, asked me if i fancied trying some. Told him I would pass as projectile vomiting hurts my gullet.
No, he's 40 but his mum started working on it early.You are 56 years old?

A few years ago, I bought a very well illustrated 'shroom book which was recommended to me by @theclaud ( late of this parish). I quickly realised that they all seem to look alike at various stages of their lives and I'm not confident enough to identify them correctly.
A staunch effort as my mentor used to say.
@theclaud appeared online yesterday, surprisingly enough.
Here?????????????????????????????????
Yes, but I think she may only have posted on ''The deal'' thread.
Thanks. I thought she had gone.
Some pharmacies have the requisite but not so many now. I know an amateur naturalist bloke who catalogues snakes and knows about many things countrywise but when I asked him about shrooms he said that I needed someone with more knowledge. Nobody I know wants to stick their neck out in case you inadvertantly poison yourself, its like some hidden knowledge.
It's the warnings in the mushroom identification guides that make me nervous. The don't say "Eat this and you could end up like Syd Barrett" or "Eat this and you will be puking for five days". They just say " Eat this and you WILL die".
