Just a simple game to liven things up (if its allowed). Basically I was driving along the other day and found myself drifting across lanes whilst trying to look for mushrooms in the middle of the roundabout  haha ..... then i realized..... how addicted i am and how much i enjoy hunting 
So to start.....
You know your an ADDICT when .... your looking for mushrooms on a roundabout whilst driving round it

... 90% or more of your dreams are about mushrooms.
... Your friends complain about your uncanny talent for turning every conversation into a conversation about mushrooms.
... Your friends and family introduce you as "This is ____. (S)He knows a lot about mushrooms."
As far as the driving distraction goes; I have never met a devoted mushroom hunter who has not admitted to having to train themselves NOT to look for mushrooms while driving, after drifting into other lanes, driving against curbs, getting honked at by other drivers, etc..
Same with walking. I have definitely walked into trees, buildings, other people, you name it. I also fall over ledges, and trip on big stuff directly in front of me, because I will be looking directly at the ground beside me.
There are definitely some more I'm sure I will think of later.

this is stolen from somebody else, but:
when you classify mushrooms by how fast you can be driving down the road and still spot/identify them.

I had three dreams about mushroom hunting prior to the season starting and once at the end of the season when I wasn't satisfied with the amount I was finding. The last dream was by far the most vivid and rewarding.

...you play Super Mario Flash online with your 6 year old son just to collect mushrooms.
...you get excited when you see bird poo thinking it's mycelium.
...you ask your partner to get you the most comprehensive mushroom field guide for Christmas.
...you think how you would transform your backyard into a mushroom wonderland if you owned the property.
...you act suspicious when you buy a bag of woodchips.
...every time you see your penis you think it looks like a mushroom.

....... you keep stairing at wood chips even if you move to a place that no mushrooms grow on wood chips.
....... someone takes you to a natural wonderland and you spend all your time stairing at the ground and looking under logs and leaves.
