Always happy to see another fungal enthusiast!
There are definitely a group of interested parties here on steemit, although I'm sorry to say I haven't heard from several of my favorite mushrooms nerds recently - @fabulousfungi @elianasgarden where have you gone!? - but lots of others do take an interest in mycology, especially in the homesteading community, where mushrooms are probably encountered more frequently, and sometimes with an eye toward foraging.
I will often cross post my content between here, my website and reddits /r/mycology and /r/slimemolds subs - as well as the slimemoldcollective now and again. All great resources. Also, the links and books that I cite to are also great resources if you want to get a hint for various IDs.
Eventually though it is helpful to learn from more experienced people in person, so get involved in your local mycological society. I'm quite sure there is one near you as the Pacific Northwest is a fungal paradise!
Looking forward to seeing you around!
