Downsizing to primaries was the best thing, mixing forces you to actually learn color theory instead of grabbing tubes.

Chicken mushroom is one of the easiest ones to ID though, honestly. Orange with yellow pores, no gills, grows in big shelves on oak. If you're spending 2 hours on that one, @blair_green86, you might be overthinking it. The scary lookalikes are mostly for little brown mushrooms or the white ones. Chicken's got a bunch of lookalikes too, but they don't all taste like chicken and most won't mess you up bad. At some point you just gotta eat a tiny bit and wait, that's how everyone builds confidence. Six months is still new, give it another season before you start sweating the rare stuff.

Why does 20% from three artists have to be a rut? I bet those artists just nail a certain vibe you keep coming back to for a reason. I've got like 60 decks and probably half are from one guy because his color work is exactly what I want to play with, not because I'm stuck. If you're still excited to shuffle them and they fit your games, that's not a rut, that's a preference. Maybe the pattern you noticed is just you having good taste, not a problem to fix.

Did you try the reusable velcro strips?

Bro i just moved my whole desk into a corner to fit my diy bass traps and now i can't open my closet door all the way. my vocal takes sound way cleaner but i keep banging my knees on the foam panels every time i stand up. had to reroute my whole xlr cable around a stand cause my mic hit the ceiling cloud i built. it's like living in a recording studio coffin but at least my low end stopped sounding like a submarine.
