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.
Morel gang morel gang
Top tier fungus. Hard to beat slowly roasted with some butter, can eat them like candy. they are fairly hard to find sometimes but it's genuinely like Christmas morning as a kid finding some
They seem to like dying birch - look around them
I'm going up into the Rockies this weekend for the first potential crop of them. Worse places to spend a day foraging.
