Just so everyone is aware:
An international group of qualified mushroom identifiers who do worldwide identification in emergency cases have identified the Shroomers App as a potentially very dangerous system that could kill you if you try to use it to identify edible mushrooms. They use AI to generate almost all of their content, including their identification profiles on their app as well as their books and other materials. Not only is this unethical from a content creation standpoint, it is also extremely dangerous.
DO NOT USE APPS FOR IDENTIFICATION PURPOSES BEYOND SIMPLE CURIOSITY. A MISTAKE WHEN IDENTIFYING AN EDIBLE COULD COST YOU YOUR LIFE. DO NOT EAT ANY FORAGED MUSHROOM YOU CANNOT IDENTIFY YOURSELF BY SIGHT OR HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED IN PERSON BY SOMEONE WHO CAN.
ONLY BUY BOOKS FROM REPUTABLE SOURCES AND AT THIS POINT THAT MEANS ASKING EXPERIENCED PEOPLE WHAT BOOKS THEY USE.
Mushrooms are fun, amazing organisms. Enjoy safely.

No one told Dani that no one actually trick-or-treats in Gotham.
So she knocks on some doors, gets some very confused and concerned people, and some random second-thought bits of candy and cookies.
But she will not be deterred!
Most people don't answer their doors, but she finds an apartment in the cheap part of town that's full of college students, and they give her a whole chocolate bar!
And oh man, this isn't year-old candy they found lying around-this is the homemade gourmet shit!
She eats the whole thing. Right there.
Thaddeus, the guy that gave her the candy, watches her go ham.
"Man, you must fuckin love Hershey's kid," he says, fondly remembering his own childhood.
"Hey Thad," Sean shouts from the kitchen, "Where the fuck's the shroom-bar? And why is there a Hershey's here?"
Thaddeus freezes.
Looks at the little girl who is now staring at her own fingers in awe.
Remembers he lives in Crime Alley, run by Red Hood, and he just gave drugs to a child.
He pokes his head out and looks down the hallway-and yup. Yup, the tail-end of one of Red Hoods legion of child informants just disappeared down the stairs.
Thaddeus is fucked.
OR; after a mishap where Dani is given shroom-infused chocolate instead of a Hershey's chocolate bar, a group of Frat Boys desperately try to hide her from Red Hood, on Halloween, in Gotham, until she's sobered up and they can pay her in actual Hershey's chocolate (and money) to lie to the gun-toting hero.
Complete with her losing control of random powers, them making up the dumbest fucking excuses, new holes in their walls and windows, and Red Hood clearly knowing what happened but deciding that letting them suffer is the best lesson for this. Maybe a mad dash through the streets of Gotham during a Rogue attack and continuing to insist she's perfectly fine.
Dani's having a great time.
