Yeah my old warehouse/manufacturing inventory job id walk 8-11 miles a day and that’s while carrying poo poo. Wasn’t a huge place, they made custom wheel chairs. Hard part was no computer tracking just old card stock system. So most of the day was walking around looking for parts.

Join the dark side. It's fun, we get up to a lot of dumb bullshit. No boss over your shoulder, you only really have to work after one other person, you get to manage expectations on your own, to a point. Sure, you must wake up early, but you'll be done early, too. It's just all the responsibility is on you and no one else. 100% every day, so you can give 80% percent when you feel like 70% will do (you will be hungover on those days).

As stated above, you'll be moving a lot, and quickly. Short periods of intense work followed by a bit of driving where you can be alone with your thoughts.

Lots of driving around at night, watching what goes on in your city when everyone's asleep. You will see some poo poo, roll with it. You might find that the people in the shittiest parts of town are the kindest to you, the most helpful. You might find people in your own neighborhood treat you like poo poo when you're working.

You might see a man walk out from a bush while you unload onto the road, and the conversation may go something like this:

"Morning."

"Morning. Where did you come from?"

"The bushes."

"I see that."

"Oh, sorry. I live in the bushes."

"Ahhh, ok. Need anything?"

"Gotta smoke?"

"Sure, take a couple."

You'll see all those late night traffic accidents with fatalities. You'll see the cops raid places that end up on the 6 o'clock news. You'll see poo poo on fire. You'll see random people stop to help one another at 3am, with no reward and no expectation of such.

You'll get propositioned by the most interesting folks,

"Oh, you a strong young man. Baby, I got what you need. Want me to be your lady? Want me to be your man?"

Noooooo?

"Hey, could you drive me a few counties over? You do coke? I have coke."

Noooooo.

"Our car broke down. It's just me and the kid. Is there any way you could take us to Wal-Mart?"

Yeah, I can do that. Hop in.

All that said, I got into it through family. The guy that brought me in and I have a running joke: at 2am, we'll say to each other, "If I remembered who convinced me to do this poo poo in the first place, we'd be having words. The dude must have been loving' with me."

Depends. Is the app a wrapper for a paid video call to on-call professional mycologists familiar with the fungi in your area, who works with you to determine what they are?

A visual inspection is insufficient for many mushrooms, no matter how thorough. You have to take spore prints.

I think that's a good attitude but there are plenty of kite surfers who lean a bit more into paragliding with their purpose and kit. There's occasional whoopsie doodle stories of people with a simple kite hitting a thermal and going flying but YouTubes are gonna tend to be of people strapped into a paraglider and a board and flying on purpose.

I have never heard of people doing that, and I live in a country where picking mushrooms is a common sport!

I guess the key is to choose mushrooms that are easy to identify and hard to mistake for a different mushroom, especially a deadly one. This is how mushroom identification guides work in general. No app is going to be able to tell you from visual data if any mushroom is "edible or poisonous". We don't even know all fungi, let alone what they do to human body... But I could see some kind of localized mushroom identification app that looks at the mushroom, then compares it to a database of known safe to eat mushrooms typical to that area at that time of the year, then asks further questions of their qualities when handled. An interactive identification guide. It still wouldn't be infallible, but people already are going with that much data and mostly don't get poisoned. It's hard to mistake a European chantarellus for something else if you're not actively trying to be stupid.

Obviously that app is not that, as the fine print states. "PictureMushroom can tell if this mushroom is edible!* *please only eat mushrooms you purchase from professionals". It's fortunate that people always read EULA's carefully.

By the way, I remember one case of a new mushroom guide book that had already gone to bookshops when the publisher sent errata slips to them because a common edible mushroom's edibility rating was put on the page of a poisonous mushroom's description, and vice versa. I bet someone's face was red after that!

Yeah so the top culprit of mushroom poisoning in North America is this thing:



Chlorophyllum molybdite

It’s a dead ringer for the edible parasol:



Macrolepiota procera

Really, you shouldn’t gently caress around with either of these, even experts get suckered by this lookalike, but if take a spore print and see green, run.



That suckered expert talks about some other factors that could have clued him in to the difference, such as where the mushroom grows and what time of year it matures in. Good getting that nuance through to a neural network.

That's very true, but there are also mushrooms that don't have an easily confused counterpart. Morels are a good example. That said, I wouldn't pick other mushrooms without being taught in person first even though my local mushroom ID book makes it look pretty straightforward.

Found a perfectly ready to eat puffball in our woods just yesterday, about 6” across. Cut it into slabs, breaded, and fried. Delicious. Weren’t even looking, just noticed it across the creek. Pretty hard to mistake anything for these once they’re this size.
