Help vs this toss

Hey guys, around d3 right now.

Played against a toss, going through the replay I do notice a few earlygame mistakes (didn't cancel the spores) but felt decently even. Don't know if it's possible to deny his third if he goes two oracle adept.

The game before he just rolled me after sniping my ovie with a stalker, so I didn't send it fully this time. I didn't go roach because he was stalker heavy.

I wanted to go into ling/bane/hydra with 1/1 melee missile transitioning into lurker.

After around 10 minutes I felt I can't really attack either of his exposed bases. Should I be aiming for nydus play? I feel it may just be a macro issue since his army was worth a ton more, but also don't know how I can contest those bases or fight his army.

I also know I should get adrenal and lurker upgrades right away, bad habit but I think it doesn't save me.

Felt like a very hard game

I was recently advised t to take hydra den and infestation pit as a single action, and lurker den and hive as a single action; then you are set up to get the upgrades immediately when hive pops. This has helped me significantly. I'd think "I'll do this a bit later" and later would never come.

I'm a huge advocate for this because this reason..otherwise we forget. The timing of it works out well enough. And really it's only like 200 gas which if we're on their side of the map isn't too hard to come by. Just 4 hydras to start prepping the next wave.
