Mushroom Hunting....???

[Dawn419]

FC,

I'm 10' tall and bullet proof (in my own mind) but know when to leave well enough alone!

One of these days, I'll start doing spoor prints but just have too many other priorities right now, like expanding the garden and orchard to grow what I know!

After the "New Year", I'll get my 'shroom photo album posted here, I've got a couple hundred pics. My biggest complaint is that sometimes the colors just aren't the same between what I actually see as to what the camera makes them out to be, regarding coloration.

yea I hear you on the projects. they come on you fast. have to pick something and finish it before you move to the next


I think shrooms are best hunted with an experienced person. but the few I know who 'think they know'--well, hmm...I kinda don't trust them, but then again, they are still alive

I've been told by an "experienced" person for the last two year that they'll come teach me...

and now you know the reasoning behind my "Patience is a vulture" in my siggy line!

 

[FarmerChick]

You sure they are still around?
picking shrooms and not being seen for 2 years after is suspect


yea, problem being people are so darn busy. I was like that. Tons of things I wanted to do and learn but daily farm life got in the way.
offer to help and sometimes pray they didn't ask


but you have 17 ac now so ask them again to hunt your land...maybe that will give them an incentive to find new shrooms or the mother load or something

Looks like a false morel to me....do't eat them as they are toxic...we get loads of them here in europe...instead of morels!

So today I went mushroom hunting the first time ever! My son and I found about 30 Morels....

My father and I go out Chaga hunting a lot. It is a big black tumor that grows on birch trees. We dry it and then make tea out of it. It is supposed to have an enormous amount of anti-oxidants. There is the wikipedia for it. It is an aqcuired taste but there has been a lot of studies on it healthyness.
