    I have found them, var guessowi, but have never been brave enough to experiment with them. Like datura. My foraging skills are pretty B+ (I do pretty well for the species of plants and fungi I am familiar with) so it’s no specimen shortage, guess I’m just a scared nerd :( I don’t deserve the name I chose. I was arrogant :(

    Edit: for real though, they are some of the most fun to find. They are super charismatic and seem to call you over to look at them. It’s no wonder at all why people find them interesting. Always beautiful but I just take a picture and leave them alone. Check on the spot later.

      Lulz. I see what you did there.

      Sure you do. You are allowed to enjoy a hobby! ;)

      But I am right there with you. I am deeply engaged in mycology now and have only just scratched the surface with my learning. It is tempting to join some of the local mushroom foraging clubs, actually. In the mean time, I am just buying mushroom books and learning all the identifying characteristics.

      Cubes started this journey of mine, interestingly enough. I quickly became fascinated with how such a simple thing could be so extremely diverse and beneficial.

      Cheers!
