Confusion over lobster edibility. Midwest USA

We are confused about whether all Hypomyces lactifluorum-colonized mushrooms are edible. We found Lactarius, Lactifluus, and Russulas in the same area. So it can be any of the 3 I think. Should we be concerned about edibility?

Lactarius-parasitizing Lobster?

Northern Midwest Great Lakes region, USA

These are frickin huge! Have never found lobsters before. Some are partially parasitized which is awesome. My only concerns:

  1. I found both white lactarius and red&green Russulas nearby. I know that both can be parasitized, but it seems that the latter is more frequently found.

Pics 6 and 7 compares the red/green Russulas and the white Lactarius. Not sure which has been parasitized, but there were tons of each type near the lobsters.

  1. It seems that the extent of

  1. species is unclear. So, are these still considered edible?

  2. they have very mottled and dirty caps. I think this is just something I will cut off, but it seems that is normal?

Toronto meetup/pregame?💫

Any 20/30somethings want to plan a pregame or post show gathering? New to Toronto so not sure if bars may be receptive to such a thing. I love a pre/afterparty gathering tho

I kept a cecropia safe over winter and he emerged today!

On a friend's birthday, in their presence. So special! Lower Michigan USA. I hope he finds a mate....🥹
Found him at his last instar in August. Kept in a mesh bag over winter outside. I'm genuinely so happy he survived, this was my first time babysitting a pupa🥰

We packed the town meeting!

Just want to express my happiness for this wonderful community. 💗There weren't enough seats today to hold everyone in attendance. Hopefully our city council will continue to push back as much as possibly against this evil project.

Need advice

Hi,
Been on the green bullshit for a little over a year. Wasn't even keeping track much. College had me fucked up.
I have my entire post-grad life set up for me and I'm still so fucking scared to quit. I have a room at a healthy living co-op starting next week, and a job starting in 2 weeks. I was probably on 35gpd (if 1tsp≈2g) at my worst, which was 2 weeks ago or so.
I've been tapering rapidly: yesterday I had 4tsp and I today I've had 2.5tsp so far. The withdrawals have been almost as bad as having mono. I tried to stick to 3g doses for the past couple days and they barely make a dent in the withdrawals. I sleep in as long as possible so I can take my dose quicker.
I've been on the vitamin c protocol and it helps a bit. But I'm so fucking scared to go to 0gpd. I am not comfortable with sharing my struggle with my family, but I have a partner who's on my ass about this which helps motivate me. Still, I'm very scared to live without the green bullshit.
Please help
