Hi tiorthan,
glad to hear that.

But I'm still not sure that "fungus" is the right word in this context. You don't normally eat "fungi", you eat mushrooms, don't you?

Habe nun mal nachgesehen, "fungi" ist der Oberbegriff, umfasst alle Pilzartigen, von denen "mushroom" aber nur eine Untergruppe ist.That's right Duckduck. Fungi with caps and stems are mushrooms. We do tend to say 'mushroom picking' saying 'fungi picking' makes one sound rather clueless and less knowlegable

Ich meine ja man bloß...
Guten Appetit, Du hast ja bestimmt die "Richtigen" gesammelt!
