Etymology help

Does anyone know where the word מזגן comes from? My mother heard me say it for the first time today (I moved to Israel about 8 years ago, she's in America) and I guess I just accepted it as a word and didn't bother to find out where it comes from. She thinks it's probably related to (מזג (אוויר, but where would that ן/נ come from?

(Sorry if that's not the correct flair, I can change it if I need to)

What are these

My mother, who is NOT interested in mycology (so she doesn't know what info is needed for ID), sent me these pictures of mushrooms on her neighbor's lawn. NE Ohio, seen today, 6-inch caps, not sure if gills are attached, no idea if they smell.

ETA: upon dredging the recesses of my memory, I believe these are horse mushrooms (Agaricus arvensis). I've come across them once or twice before, but that was over 15 years ago so I didn't immediately remember.

Refreshing feed issue

On regular feed refresh mode, nothing updates when I refresh (obviously). Problem is, when I turn on "fetch from dedicated feed", it switches to fast feed refresh mode, and there's _always_ one channel or another that fails to load. It's always different channels. Does anyone know any workarounds for this? Or is there some way to disable fast mode while still using the "fetch from dedicated feed"?

Itchy hands

7 or 8 days ago, my palm and fingers (palm side) started itching. The first day there were a _lot_ of tiny bumps all over my hands. No redness or swelling but the skin was very pebbly. I've experienced that a few times before, and as before, the bumps went away within 48 hours. The itching obviously has not. I've tried moisturizing them (I used CeraVe and Aveeno), washing them more often, using different hand soaps, icing them, heating them, nothing has worked. The itching hasn't spread anywhere, not even to the back side of my hands or beyond my palm. The only common thing I'm allergic to is dust mites, but I don't think that's what's causing this. Any idea on what this is, or advice on how to deal with it?
