I'm still pretty damn noob at IDing so many, but there is about 3-4 mushrooms, Oysters, Morels, Chanterelle (the chicken of the woods) that are VERY easy to ID that are fuckin delicious. It's fun to go hunting with someone more experienced than me. Also I've found some Psilocybe cyanescens in random places before like Golden Gate Park! They are fairly common around the SF bay area and more northern regions. Their name even is a play on san (cyan) Franciscan (escen ) which is cute
anyone else here forage or spot mushrooms? i've been thinking about growing some. they have neat little boxes you just water and they grow or i suppose you can just buy bagged spores too. I've only come across Oysters once but they are fuckin bomb.
I've never been brave enough to actually pick any, but I definitely ID every mushroom I come across, which is fun.
I was gifted an oyster and lions mane grow kit a while ago, and they're very cool to have, but a bit of work to take care of. I got 1 decent harvest from each, before they both dried up because I was apperantly underwatering them. I buried them in some nearby woods, so hopefully the power of nature can revive the colonies and treat any other spotters nearby.
that's a great idea burying them like that, you might get super lucky one day and find a whole faire ring lol. Luckily (or unlucky) wildfire here seems to bring out a few cool ones at the start of the next rain season, i live for the rain now! lol
