    It’s true that your cadence will increase when wearing barefoot shoes. When I first started wearing barefoot shoes I kept my long stride and end up doing damage to my Achilles which took a few months to heal. So shorter strides is better and is certainly more natural to avoid injury. 18 months into my barefoot journey and my feet feel stronger than ever. I also had plantar fasciitis and it completely went away after the first couple of months.

One tablespoon of this tea and I honestly feel high. There was nothing else in it. And I'm confident I have the right mushroom. It could be just me and how I'm responding.

      To be honest I’ve never tried eating them myself but I understand that they are just extremely bitter and will ruin a dish if you include them.

It looks very simillar to cep (the best shroom to get), chestnuts mushrooms (which can be heavily radiated dependding on region) and witch's boletus (which you should never take without previous experience, its familliar can kill you) What always has a toll are the death cap famillia (10 hours until your liver ends), except the agaric (don't bring that to family dinners, they are mildly halu and one is like having two beers) and the parasol (tbh my favourite to fry, but if you don't know your shrooms, that one can easily end you)

      Thanks! The Sickener is typically bright red, starts off convex but flattens as it gets older and can be pretty sticky to the touch. The top of the cap will also peel most of the way to the center. A lookalike the Beechwood Sickener won't peel quite as easily and is more brittle. Lives mostly with pine trees. That said, it's not always easy to identify these - the taste test is the simplest way to see if you can eat a russula or not.
