Mushroom Hunting!

[Indica Jones]

Here is a PF ready to be put in the fruiting chamber.

PF cakes are so 1999.

That's just the dry verm I put on top to keep the green mold(trichoderma) away. The cake shrunk and the dry verm is falling down the side. When doing PF using syringes, the mycelium goes from the top down. I agree casing cakes are the way to go. I was just showing my brother a way to get his shroom legs.

Whether I'm in New England or the Baltics, I can find a bunch of different mushrooms in the woods that are either edible or better.

Where I live now, I can go in the woods and get about a pound of chanterelles every morning from late april until june, and then in late august again. Plenty of the king boletus here, too.

I won't pick anything that isn't really good, as long as I have a choice, though, and I never even touch a bad one, let alone pick it and put it near others.

Morel hunting is such a joy.

Actually I like to use agar test tubes with suspended wood for long term preservation in the fridge. Some peeps have recorded 4+ years this way.

I dont like to flirt with death, but always thought about going truffle scouting

Thank god for the rain, just a recent find of some Porcinis growing right next to the road.

There are mushrooms everywhere, or at least there used to be beforeI went out and picked them all

Nice little cakes

 

[quadracer]

Nice Indica! It looks like it just snowed in your chamber.

my grandpaw used to say:
"Theirs two kinds of wild mushroom eaters old wise ones and dead ones." Just be careful.

Here in europe we get these mushrooms that grow in perfect circles about 4 - 8 feet in diameter. They are good eating and a safe find when the circle is almost full.. its pretty creepy how they form the circle actually..

Hello Morel Season!!!

 

[hanuman]

Very nice, quadracer. Apparently there were quite a lot over here a few weeks ago, but I haven't found a single one this year.. oh well, the real mushroom season is about to start.
