Pesticide problem

The area across my street has signs that they have been spraying pesticides. I have been picking amanita muscaria and boletus edulis across the street for 2 years now
I have also eaten amanita flavoconia and it is not related to amanita muscaria in the least bit as far as being psychoactive. I cannot 100% confirm this though because I have no pictures, also do not judge me for the stupidity of me not confirming this with a TI. MISTAKE MISTAKE MISTAKE!
I was a complete noob then and have been researching 3 hours a day for the past 8 months.
I am mostly curious about how pesticides will effect me in the future. Amanita muscaria and the king bolete do not pop up until october here.
If they do not spray pesticides until october will they be okay to pick and eat?

The soil might build up some pesticides over time. Also most of the produce that we buy from the super market has a shit ton of pesticide on them and not to many people seem to be concerned about it.

What kind of pesticides?
Also as another note, I consumed insecticide laced mushrooms and I escaped with only some gastric upset! I'm not advocating such actions, though.

If there are signs, then you can try to contact the people doing the spraying and ask them how long the chemicals will hang around. They should have no problem telling you.
Most things should have broken down in 5 months. I'd want to know for sure before I ate anything.
Happy mushrooming!

Sorry, I must have been drunk when I posted this because I don't remember ever doing it. I noticed the signs a couple days ago though and was about to post the same thing. So do you think that I will not have any problems in the next 5 months?

I wouldn't do it everyday, but once isn't bad. I just got done, thanks to a member on this forum voicing concerns, reading about the relatively low toxicity of glyphosate. You're still alive, aren't you?
