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.

    Tbh milk pepper caps are not terribly tasty. They're more just interesting because they're spicy in a very unique way. I want to try drying some and grinding them up as a powder to add to dishes and see where that gets me. If you fry them it takes out the spice mostly, but the leftover flavour is really not the most appetizing thing in the world.
