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.
local rednecks where i am are often the most hardcore of mushroom hunters. one coworker i had wouldn't shut up about it and he was pretty smart but unfortunately an unredemiable ultra-chud.
YES! The redwoods after a big rain is some jackpot shit. that's shitty about that coworker though, i don't think i could hang out with someone in the woods for a few hours like that before the mood turns sour from the sounds of what they're like.
