with a woman in her 70's

Do these conditions have anything to do with a person's ability to identify mushrooms

Very likely. Experience is a thing

If she's that old and likes to forage there's only so many bad mushrooms you can eat

Also, women tend to have better natural color distinction, they more prominently have a genetic mutation that adds a 4th color cone.

Additionally men are significantly more likely to have some form of colorblindness.

Age also can have an effect on your perception of the world as well as the objective quality of your vision.

Finally, describing the subject of the sentence is normal.

I didn't know most of that, cool

If someone goes mushroom gathering multiple times a year, getting to live until 70 speaks volumes about her ability.

Well, she's not dead yet so that's a good sign.
