Any good (mushroom) finds lately?

[Stick in Mud]

Wow, we really jumped off the reality wagon on this thread with the last two posts!

You're, like, too constrained by, like, reality, man.

If, like, they were good enough for Moses, dude, they should be good enough for you.

Does anyone else find it very tempting to cook up some Amanita Muscaria?? It sounds like there is a pretty simple process to remove the toxins that cause you to "trip" and you are left with a very tasty mushroom. I'm not encouraging anyone to do this, but sometimes the woods are so full of the things that a guy can't help but think about it....

Have to say it is good thing I did not take up this hobby 20 years ago Also, no, really not tempted to eat any anymore, boiled down or not…….

Man, I really need to get back to reading more of that book. I have never heard the Moses eating magic shroom part in the book? But, I guess if I was selling another book that says that. It would be true for sure!

I haven't given it much thought, honestly. I've read in numerous places that it's safe with proper cooking techniques, but I've never been tempted to risk it.

Here's the wiki page, though you can find similar theories in more scholarly sources: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manna

And for what it's worth (not much), my Catholic upbringing did not bring me into close contact with much rabbinical literature, but I dearly wish it would have after reading sentences like this (from the above wiki page): "As a natural food substance, manna would produce waste products; but in classical rabbinical literature, as a supernatural substance, it was held that manna produced no waste, resulting in no defecation among the Israelites until several decades later, when the manna had ceased to fall." ....Now that's what I call full of s***.

Well I think the book call things like that miracles. So, back to the topic. Mushrooming!

Unless it is one of those non-psychedelic ones that just destroys your liver with no fun side effects...

Are you talking about manna or amanita muscaria? (whatever that wink means)

Would trust those deer for a proper ID over some pictures in a book or world wide web. Please pass the reindeer urine ……thank you

Look....Jaguars like wild edibles, too!

Was just simply trying to add to the discussion on how wild animals do eat mushrooms and now I can't get visions of little achy breaky gone wild out of my mind….thanks!

[Stick in Mud]

Sorry, Chad.

There's nothing wrong with doing a little dance when you find a nice mushroom.

We don't need to see some chick playing with her self on here dude.

[Rick G]

That's just wrong in soooo many ways can we get a mod to talk to Stick about his posting habits?

[Stick in Mud]

That was about the cleanest .gif I could get of Ms. Cyrus dancing.

Bwahahaha…..was busy at work today and missed the show, but apparently Stick went all "wreaking ball" on ya Since we have about 3 months to go, looks like we should merge this into your favorite Miley….. G rated moment thread,…..and think the "ice cream freeze" seems like a great place to start

Here's a cool video from the Mikeology Store of all the mushrooms he photographed over the last season. I think it's pretty cool to see how many I can identify (not many)...and some of them are just plain wild.

I think most of the ones that were presented in this thread are on here. Unfortunately, the video doesn't identify them.

My girlfriend (the same one who wouldn't touch a mushroom 4 years ago) came home with a bag of dried chanterelles last night from the grocery store. It kind of twerked me off (still don't know what twerk is but it sounds right in this context) that she ate all of mine while I was hunting last fall and now I have to eat expensive dried ones that I didn't pick. Told her that next year she is coming with so that we don't run out by January. I just don't have time to pick enough by myself. Hope we have a bumper crop this summer to make it easier! Is it too early to start praying for a few nice rains in July?

Ha, you know what the girls say. If you can't do it for me, I'll do it myself!

LOL. I've never met you, NoWiser, but you don't seem like the kind of guy who twerks.

I'd post a video, but one earlier attempt got nixed by the Head Honcho.
