Is it normal to have a phobia of mushrooms?

I've had this fear almost my entire life. It started when I was around 5 and there were these REALLY gross and slimy looking mushrooms in our yard. It got to the point where I wouldn't go into the yard until the mushrooms were removed from the yard . since then I've had a fear of almost all mushrooms. I still eat mushrooms for some reason, I tell people that I'm "eating the flesh of my enemies" for giggles. Is this normal?

    Understandable. When i was 12 i lived in a shitty apartment and mushrooms started growing out of the sink and it really creeped me out and whenever I see them outside I always have to destroy them.
