Another of my favorite mushrooms for Mayshroom - Hydnellum peckii - the bleeding tooth fungus, or strawberry and cream fungus! Such a cool mushroom. The "blood" is only on the young ones, and is actually guttation!
I honestly have no simple answer for this- they're fascinating to me, and I just... fell in love one year! Everything about them amazes me, and I love to find and identify them. If they're edible it's a plus, but not a necessity! :D It's like a weird.... deep connection haha
It may is weird, yes, but that's why we are here, right? XP
Can comprehend your fascination, they're indeed really interesting. Kinda sticking out from natures creations, not really a plant, not really an animal, tasty, mind-expanding and especially cooperative with their surroundings.

May I ask; What is it that makes you so "addicted" to mushrooms?
