      It’s entirely plausible she didn’t, even though she found what she was looking for. You’ve really gotta catch inkcaps early in their life cycle, before they start to deliquesce. Otherwise they’re cool to look at but not really good for eating.

      But also even if she did pick them, it would not have harmed the fungus in any way. Picking a mushroom is no more harmful to the organism than picking a fruit from a tree is. So long as you use a permeable container like a basket or mesh bag to carry them, you’re actually doing the fungus a favour by spreading its spores. It annoys me to no end when uneducated people assume that picking mushrooms is doing damage.

      Come on, I don’t go anywhere without my foraging basket and mushroom knife. Doesn’t mean I intend to forage mushrooms.

      That can only be proven if her middle name is “Robin.”

    For whatever reason, I merged the G in “Gather” , i in “Picker” and “ger” in Forager and with the picture, read “Forager” as “Ginger”. Has to double take.

Nominative determinism is the hypothesis that people tend to gravitate towards areas of work that fit their names. The term was first used in the magazine New Scientist in 1994, after the magazine’s humorous “Feedback” column noted several studies carried out by researchers with remarkably fitting surnames. These included a book on polar explorations by Daniel Snowman and an article on urology by researchers named Splatt and Weedon. These and other examples led to light-hearted speculation that some sort of psychological effect was at work.

This is a community for posting real-world examples of names that by coincidence are funny in context. A link to the article or site is preferable, as well as a screenshot of the funny name if it’s not in the headline. Try not to repost, and keep it fun!
