Is the mycology community bigoted? Lots of weirdos so I would have guessed they might be more tolerant but I guess it does skew kind of older.

I haven’t experienced this either but I’m privileged and have only interacted with this community a little bit. So I was curious if anyone had had such experiences.

Mycologists typically understand and listen to science so I'm not sure where this is coming from
