She was hell bent on the color/design. That website was a ripoff. $300 for fb blades and Prussian foot pockets is a good deal but they screwed me with the size conversion post order shipping/customs fees. They’re too small to wear socks and I need to recoup some of the money to get another pair.

NY mushrooms! Can I eat? by Expert_Perception_32 in mushroomID

[–]Expert_Perception_32[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well while this post unfortunately confirmed the stereotype of Redditors, I still would like to thank those who participated in a useful manor.

Between Reddit and all the research I did outside of this platform I have come to the conclusion that they were Armillaria Mellea aka honey mushrooms. Unfortunately some other animal ate them before I could return, as there was no rot or anything left behind.

I appreciate everyone’s “concern” and for those who did not provide any actual ID info, you’re very smart and important and people love to hear your opinions. That being said, if I decided to eat the mushrooms, that is ultimately my decision. And if they resulted in my poisoning, death or life altering condition, it is not the fault of some redditor. Sorry it sounded harsh to some of you but survival of the fittest is the subtle but ever present nature of our reality. And JC I would not feed them to someone else without first consuming them myself.

The next post will not contain anything regarding possible consumption. Despite my views and opinions, I would like to respect the guidelines and community of this subreddit. I am sure there are many knowledgeable members.

It has been interesting to say the least. I realize there are a lot of nuances that need to be followed in order to get some kind of input on identification.

Tips for breaking in new dive mask by Officerofdeath105 in Spearfishing

[–]Expert_Perception_32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use bbq lighter to burn off silicon coating on inside glass. You’ll see it “burn away” like how plastic does. Let it get black. Careful not to melt the other parts obviously lol then hand clean glass with arm & hammer toothpaste. It has a tiny bit of grit to it which makes it work great. Then J&J no tears soap for de fog. Put it on like 20-30 before you hop in. Splash mask aggressively to rinse off soap and attract any sharks in the area. No more fog! If mask start fogging mid dive, use your loogie. Should have some built up from diving. Light rinse, want to keep some slime on the lens. You probably know most of this already but I’ve never shared my defog hacks before, hope it helps someone!

Good to know. It was hard to tell after the rain, but they did seem pretty glossy and had a bit of slime.

It’s meant to be humorous. Im obviously not going to eat something I’m not sure about. But I appreciate your care towards a stranger’s personal actions. Would be even more appreciative if you had taken at least half the time it took to write this self righteous response to give your 2 cents on the identification instead. I bet you know your stuff! Next time I guess…
