Introductions
1. Introduce yourself! - 10 points
Hello! I'm Luke. This is my first ever RoR and second IRL scavenger hunt, since I had such an awesome time with the hunt for TCC (and won a prize on top!). I looove the mushroom theme, what a perfect idea for nature-meets-plague, and all the art is so gorgeous :O I'll be honest, I am a city dweller and when I went out to the country to hunt for shrooms, I had no idea what I was looking at. I did my best to identify them based on Google Images but if any of them are totally wrong feel free to let me know and I'll remove 'em lol

Iskam was a fodder derg who I bought for a breeding project but ended up being surplus and while I was going to toss him out, I realised how pretty he was! Hooked him up with the bamboo set I had sitting around in the hoard. He's perfectly autumnal, and definitely ready to forage!

55. Have you ever gone (or would you go) foraging for mushrooms in real life? - 10 points
My experience with this scavenger hunt was my first ever forage! I would definitely not go foraging for things to eat (unless I was accompanied by a pro) because I had absolutely no clue what I was doing. But it was super fun and I really enjoyed scouring the forests for these funny looking friends. It was so autumnal and most of my trips were in the good company of my partner making awesome memories. We discovered a whole new forest near to our city, and I will for sure go foraging again next year! Thank you for giving me a reason to get out in the fresh air :D

Aaaaand that should be 500 points! Had to get a little creative with my last free evening on some of these, hopefully they all suffice. I will be keeping my eye out for a cool rock this weekend just in case >_>
