100% a real thing. I haven't heard of anyone actually getting into an accident due to looking for mushrooms while driving, or at least admitting to it, probably in part because it's a hobby that people don't usually take up until they're well out of their most accident prone years. But I know a lot of people who have paid extra for lane assist and automatic emergency braking.
There is even a whole subset of mushrooms called the 55-mile-per-hour-mushrooms, so called because they're especially easy to identify while driving at highway speeds. Here is an old post referencing this: http://mpb.ou.edu/ben/ben416.html http://mpb.ou.edu/ben/ben416.html

- bingidingi 5y agoIt's a little eccentric, but it's not all that different from geocaching. Plus, free food! I've also dumpster dived a little bit (decent amount of crossover between foragers and dumpster divers), grocery stores toss out tons of food that's still perfectly good.

- Seattle3503 5y agoMakes sense, you can cover a lot of ground at 55 mph.
