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.
Some of my friends like to go mushroom hunting every now and then but I dont like the woods and something about the texture of mushrooms really makes me feel sick so I never really join them. So far, we've had a few giant puffball mushrooms that went bad on the counter before they could eat them. It does seem fun though.
