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 been growing some. success with pink oysters and some psilocybin(in RuneScape). Failure on Lions mane and shitake so far. Sadly not many grow to forage around me.
shitakes are fuckin dope, that's probably what i'd buy if i were to buy anything personally. Can use them in so many dishes I normally eat. The forage season here is pretty narrow window in terms of actually finding an abundant amount. I don't like picking random stragglers too much since they can be overharvested already. But when you find a huge bath, especially Chanterelles, i go hog wild on it lol
Man I love the look of Chanterelles. Never seen em in the wild... Kinda wanna try growing them. I do hope I get some better luck with shitakes. Got a whole colonized pan but no fruiting. Sad. :sad-boi:
