 It was like this: I turned left, the tree went left, i turned right, the tree goes right. Then I stop and the thee slams into me.

 As Pastrana would put it : " DON'T TURN RIGHT ! "

I hope you didn't broke any bones, and your helmet probably saved your life !

Heal up and ride on .

 I would either go with Liberty caps or Panaeolina foenisecii (haymakers) Those are super common around the west but since this near a wood line in tall grasses... could be some caps there. I would have picked them and let the Tree Hugger have first dibs...

 those are totally death in psybin , I live in oregon they are everywhere..... damn hippies everywhere! always talking about cleaning the earth.... all they do is smoke pot and smell bad
  • + 3
 there's only one way to know for sure. eat them Beer
  • + 2
 Or you could do a spore print and check for a blue bruising reaction...but letting hippies try them is more fun

 That's not funny, it's plain scary! Hope you're alright.
Just one thing though:
"Hospital?"
"YOU THINK SO?!"

 THAT is what I call "hittin trees harder than Snoop Dog"! Dang brother, you were looking pretty solid until that tree jumped onto the trail. Get well soon!

 this happened to me about 2 months ago at sprain ridge park yonkers ny. The only difference is i had a knee/shin pads and giro switchblade. giro saved my already fractured jaw but it almost knocked me out. 30 minutes later i had a hot soup and a beer.

 Milk does literally nothing for bone health. Health-wise we're better of without it.
