Oh no, 4x8 ply is actually 4x8 feet, not 4x2.

Yeah "hold up are death caps really that common" is kind of the thing I wondered too. I saw a post from a mycology group where someone in Texas found them growing in their own backyard, which caught me off guard. Guess they're more widespread than people realize, especially since they can get mixed in with other mushrooms.

Hold up are death caps really that common outside of like the Pacific Northwest though?

Honestly, what finally got me through it was just slowing down my movement and actually watching enemy patterns instead of rushing in. Ngl, I used to get clipped constantly until I forced myself to chill and focus on positioning over being aggressive. Tbh, once I stopped trying to be flashy, my survival time shot way up.

Honestly I thought shimming was the only way too but this is genius.
