I don't think popping them was an issue, it was a few hours before the rain hit, they were ready to pop and my son was eager to help them.
I think the idea is that raindrops hit the mushroom which expels the spores, suspect my son's finger does the job better than the fungi was expecting....but perhaps it would be better to leave them alone.
Have a few video clips of pooping, but not sure how to post/share them
Thanks,
bcachefs could be the answer but I don't really want my data on a fs I need this week's kernel to access properly. Maybe I should just hold off for a few months.
I'm not monitoring the drives, I have backups of important stuff...but would be nice to tag more important stuff amongst the mediocre stuff on the off chance both drives don't fail at the same time.
