Well, Jeremy figured that was as good a reason as any to just avoid the mushrooms all together. Maybe it was a good idea to avoid the plant life in general. Anything here could be toxic - except maybe the fish, since Daryl seemed to be pretty confident about stockpiling as many of them as possible. So, good thing to note: plants, bad. Fish, probably good, and easier than hunting.
Not that he didn't trust the fish to also potential spontaneously combust, because everything was unpredictable as hell thus far, but it seemed to be a safe bet for now.
A part of him does start to dread the moment the other man stands up again to approach him, thinking to himself oh god this is it, but it's only to give him fair warning about staying put and offering to let him follow along. He refrains from asking if he's certain, because he does still worry about slowing someone down. It would be awful if someone ended up hurt or killed just because Jeremy was lagging behind or distracting them. Still, he was only offering, and then heading along on his way. He didn't have to follow him.
...
Despite all his concerns, Jeremy does end up pushing himself up to his feet, taking a moment to brace himself against the tree while he regains his bearings. Daryl's right - he can't stay in one place for too long, and he certainly doesn't have the tools or supplies or even the skills to last on his own. He follows close behind, far enough away to be out of range if anything bad happens, but close enough to be within earshot if Daryl has to tell him anything of importance. Whoever wrote that note, they really were trying to look out for him.
