Comment on Mushroom ID
Cheradenine@sh.itjust.works 5 weeks agoI’m really good at spotting differences or inconsistencies, I’m totally lost with mushrooms though, and I go multiple times every Autumn with a woman in her 70’s. She is very clear about what we are looking for. She throws out at least half of what I gather.

Also, women tend to have better natural color distinction, they more prominently have a genetic mutation that adds a 4th color cone.
Additionally men are significantly more likely to have some form of colorblindness.
Age also can have an effect on your perception of the world as well as the objective quality of your vision.
Finally, describing the subject of the sentence is normal.

Well, she’s not dead yet so that’s a good sign.

If someone goes mushroom gathering multiple times a year, getting to live until 70 speaks volumes about her ability.

She does that cause she’s jealous of how many you pick
