I can guess why. People think that all mushrooms are safe so go and pick those they see in the forests. Unless you have carefully studied which ones are actually safe you're slightly doomed.
Yes, apparently it became a very popular hobby during lockdown and people don’t know what to identify what is safe.
As teenagers we used to crawl through misty forests in winter looking for mushrooms and we knew exactly what sorts to pick, Australia has two common species of very entertaining mushrooms.
A lot of foreigners get tricked by some of our mushrooms here, we have one species that looks exactly the same as a common field mushroom but they're deadly poisonous. The only way you can tell them apart is by smell.

At a certain time in late summer here you will see people, usually young people, crawling around like they are searching for something. In fields, old pastures, parks and those narrrow strips of grass that sometimes separate sidewalks from roads. That always makes me laugh a little because they are trying to be low-key and invisible, because they are picking Liberty Caps. It's not legal to pick those but that has never stopped anyone.
We get them only in the coldest part of winter, which isn't cold at all by your standards. The two most common sought out by some people are Gold Tops and Blue Meanies. The blue meanies are tiny compared to the gold tops but they pack as much punch as their larger cousins.
I'm intrigued that they take Discover. When was the last time anyone has seen one of those?
Apparently it's a huge problem in Poland too. Especially with young people.
Didn't anyone's parents teach them to not go around picking up things in the forest and putting them in their mouths?
They finally found it, just lying on the side of the road.Only in Australia....
Search continues for tiny radioactive capsule, which if you stand close to is like having '17 chest x-rays'
Authorities are continuing to desperately search for a radioactive capsule — which can cause severe burns and other health problems — along a 1,400-kilometre stretch of road in Western Australia.www.abc.net.au

The tiny radioactive capsule was found following an extensive search in Western Australia's outback that was likened to trying to find a needle in a haystack.

I think whoever was responsible for packing it so badly it fell out is going to get fired.They finally found it, just lying on the side of the road.

When the state government looked in to pressing charges it turns out that our laws are quite outdated, the maximum penalty is $1000. I think that's about to change quite dramatically.
I fail to understand how such a tiny and dangerous thing wasn't in secure and shielded packaging. I have a funny idea that the truckie's unions will be demanding answers to that same question.
which do I choose?
The Onion is always good for a laugh, midweek:

It depends on what you like, that style of keyboard is terrible to type on if you use it a lot. Go in to a large computer store and ask to have a look at a Microsoft 600 wired keyboard. Very nice to type on, and the only Microsoft product that I use.
Regarding keyboards the one I'm using is a full mechanical with red switches. I've fitted double o-rings under the keys. Works well with nice, light keys. Some people prefer the other kinds of switch but this one works well for me. Probably done a couple of thousand pages of typing on it. Still working well.
