You find some food in the back of the fridge covered in fungus. Instead of wrinkling up your nose and carrying it at arms length to the trash, you either:
A. Immediately identify the genus and species, or
B. Not recognize it. Think to yourself, "Hmm.. I've never seen this one before." Wonder to yourself if this is edible, active, or poisonous. Take near-professional pictures using proper lighting techniques and "macro mode" on your camera. Carefully place it back in the fridge for safe keeping while you wait out your ID request on the Shroomery.

LOL! I ride my bike past an AWESOME stump on the way to work that has produced some outstanding G. frindosa. There's a HUGE pothole about thirty yards before it, right in the bike path. I've bent my bike rim THREE TIMES and almost thrown myself head-over-handlebars countless times as I crane my neck out to check it as I ride.

i pronounce clitocybe like "clit-oh-sibe" and i was wondering how everyone pronounces psyatherla??
Okay... You know how I said pronunciation is variable from place to place, and doesn't matter to most people? Well Clitocybe is the exception. If you say "Clit-oh-sybe" most people (mushroom nerds or not) will start laughing. Not always, but I have seen it happen countless times. It is also a dead give away that you are a n00b.
But if you don't care, then I don't either, I guess.
As for Psathyrella (NOT Psyatherla), it is pronounced "Sath-er-ell-uh".

I love this thread! This is my first season hunting, and I can already tell I have a problem. Here's a couple more I don't think were mentioned
...you spend hours on Google Maps looking for any park or green patch on the map you can potentially hunt at, then spend several hours more driving to each and every suspect spot.
...you spend an extra 200 dollars on gas in a month from driving to all the spots that looked promising on Google Maps
Oh yes, and what has been mentioned many times already...you look for mushrooms while driving, or even just wood chip beds, in the dark, when its raining so hard your windshield wipers can hardly keep the windshield clear.
...whenever your not thinking about new places you can hunt at, your trying to come up with ways of possibly growing in your cramped 1br basement suite, or at the very least somewhere to make an outdoor bed.
I blame all of you for this. And I thank you as well

You Know you're addicted when...
- For the 1st time since you became a member, your Girlfriend is excited when you mention this thread because she has lots to add!
- It's easier to name the ways you haven't taken "Libs" than the ways you Have!
- While watching the History channel your girlfriend makes a remark about how she'd love to visit Ireland, when you say "Me too" she rolls her eyes and says "Let me guess, you want to hunt there?"
- Your internet isn't working and it keeps you up all night because you can't stop thinking about what's been posted in this thread!
- When you could probably sit here adding these all day and still have more!
- When your dog just crapped on the carpet because you kept telling him "In a minute I'm almost done!"... (I gotta go clean now  )

saw this from Phishhead on the 'Why do people take there dogs with them mushroom hunting' thread and had to post it here.
You know your an addict when you think of things like this:
lets do it guys lets train up some dogs and we can have a contest to see what pooch finds the most hidden patches of fungi!! How amazing that would be
hahahaha

you never wash your hands after handling any mushrooms,instead you go outside and rub your fingers on the lawn incase there is any spores on them you can spread back to nature.

lol... My Boston Terrier is pretty good at it, he naturally stops and investigates anything on the ground that catches his eye, so big patches often draw him in for a sniff!... My English Bulldog on the other hand... He perhaps is a special case... He's devoured just about every mushroom he's ever seen, before I could even stop him (My girlfriend swears this need to feed comes from me but I dunno) trying to walk him while hunting is just about an impossible task!... I have to tie him to a tree so that he doesn't trample my patches or consume them before me!
You know you're addicted when...
- You suggest taking the dogs for a walk and your girlfriend responds "so do you mean we're actually going to run them?..or you're going to tie them to a tree while you hunt?" (I always feel bad so they do get a good run... after I've lost the daylight lol)

You know you're addicted when....
- Your season is over so you become obsessed with creating new threads about "Libs"... or as you call them "My Precious" 
- You're so desperate to get people to contribute a place to your "Liberty Cap locations" thread, that you're almost ready to just start PM'ing everyone  lol
- Your addiction is so bad, you post thing like this in your friends thread because it's like a "Fix"
