I used to have severe fear of mushrooms. It's not too bad anymore, but they still creep me out. I used to legit scream whenever I saw a mushroom as a kid, I would never go near them and absolutely never eat them. I would almost get a panic attack if I was walking through a forest and I saw mushrooms. I had this feeling that they were gonna attack me.

Nowadays, I don't really mind them. I still don't like looking at them, but it's not like I scream or cry anymore at the mere sight of them. It's weird how a irrational fear you get as a kid still carries weight when you grow up. Even though I know there is nothing to fear, I still have an almost primal instinct telling me that they are dangerous.
