Psathyrella sp.
Food gives you dopamine so just eat constantly, what could go wrong?

Once again the internet conflates "introvert" with "crippling social anxiety/executive dysfunction".
Challenging politicians to a duel to the death is actually the official method of removing them under Klingon law. So clearly the lesson here is that the system works.
This is pushing back against propaganda which is extremely important, she's one of the few Dems who's making an effort to do so instead of sitting back and allowing the right to control the narrative.
I don't think I've seen a single isekai protag try to go back to Earth unless you count the "trapped in VR" ones.
It used to be the standard:
- Digimon Adventure (the first series)/Digimon frontier (fourth series)
- Inu Yasha
- Monster Rancher
The only recent example I can think of is Zenshu from last year.
The intrigue is from how a person from a modern nonmagical culture interacts with a medieval magical culture.
Welcome to Japan Ms. Elf might be up your alley: a guy finds out his lucid dreams have actually been him getting isekei'd every night for most of his life when he accidentally brings a friend/love interest back with him. She's fascinated by modern Japan so they start going back and forth between the real world and magical world together.
It's really common give up on Russula because of how impossible they are to get to species but you can learn to get them to section/group which I personally find worthwhile. It helps if you enjoy eating them like I do, I spent a lot of time figuring out how to ID Russula olympiana and the other PNW xerampelina group species because of how much I like using them to make vegetarian fish broth.
The cap colors are often misleading as you noted but in many cases there are undertones you can learn to look for which are more consistent. For example, R. olympiana has this specific burgundy undertone mixed into whatever primary color the cap decided to be so I can usually tell before picking a Russula if it's possible for it to be R. olympiana or not. R. olympiana, R. emetica, and R. americana can all be "red" but they actually can't be the same shade of red if that makes sense.
I think that's a "pruinose" cap covered in fine hairs which give it that frosted look. Compare to the R. murrillii group: https://www.alpental.com/psms/PNWMushrooms/PictorialKey/Russula.htm#MildDark
And remove the seasoning?
Armillaria sp. aka Honey mushrooms, they're very aggressive so RIP to that tree. One of the world's largest living organisms is an Armillaria that spans over 2000 acres in Oregon.
Coprinus, it means "of poop" because a lot of them grow on dung, though this one usually prefers well-fertilized soil (which may or may not have manure in it).
They're more like nature's Jell-O shots.
Sadly, it was just some well-aged Russula.
Species is the olive shaggy parasol Chlorophyllum olivieri.
I like how they look like cake pops before they open up
From below you can really see the nice contrast between the pale gills and blue everywhere else
This mushroom is an Entoloma in the subgenus Leptonia, probably something like Entoloma subeuchroum or Leptonia subeuchroa if they decide to split Leptonia into its own genus as mycologists have been discussing.
Host is a crack-cap bolete (Xerocomellus diffractus). The mold is either Hypomyces chrysospermus or Hypomyces microspermus, you can only tell them apart under a microscope.
These are highly prized for dying fabrics. They tend to turn all black as they get older which has led to them being given another name: "the bear poop fungus" because a few too many dyers have gotten their hands unspeakably dirty in eagerness to reach for what they thought was this mushroom.
I don't dye fabric myself but I was able to give this one away to a friend who can put it to good use.
Want to know what that mushroom that keeps popping up in your yard is for? Bring them in and have them examined by expert identifiers.
There's also a giant display showcasing specimens of the various mushrooms of the Pacific Northwest, cooking demos, cultivation workshops, and more!
Sadly, only very rotten one on the left was. The other two are Cortinarius sp. with nearly identical caps.
Underside:
These are highly variable, they're often brown on top with a yellow stem. I was doubting my initial ID, thinking they might be Chrysomphalina aurantiaca because the color was so off so I took them to my mycology club and had it confirmed.
The Pacific Northwest Craterellus was just called by the European species name "C. tubaeformis" for a long time but it's not the same species, "C. neotubaeforumis" is a name that's been proposed but not yet formalized.
The ones I found were growing on a log but Pholiota can parasitize living trees so I made sure to keep them in a non-mesh bag.
They're are edible and occasionally cultivated. I plan to try some soon because I can't resist trying something so scaly and slimy that looks like you shouldn't eat it.
