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 heard almost all positive things about microdosing psilocybin, good luck with that, sounds rad! that's cool you found a love for it too. Have you ever watched Fantastic Fungi by chance? that documentary blew my damn mind, sooo good, can't recommend it enough

      Yeah I'm very excited about trying microdosing - I'm doing trauma therapy twice a week and I think the added neuroplasticity will help a lot in dislodging old thinking patterns. Funny that you mention that documentary because I just had a friend recommend it to me last night. Guess that's a sign I should watch it ASAP!
