"Pizza in the morning, pizza in the evening, pizza at supper time. When pizzas on a bagel, you can have pizza anytime!"

No substitutes for the OG bagel bites. I've eaten a lot during the last couple of weeks. lol

My neighbor eats that shit all the time. He’s in his mid 30’s but eats like a 12yo.

Can't wait to get back out there, need some warmer weather... plenty of rain. Should be good next weekend!

These are non hallucinogenic mushrooms! Lol weird looking, I have had a few friends tell me about them so my cousin told me they know where to hunt for them... apparently this is a huge thing around these parts, people all over the mountains hunting these! Brie and I love fried mushrooms... she is not looking forward to these but I can't wait, cut them in half... 2 more hours soak time and they should be ready to go!!

Mushroom picking is very interesting to me but I’m sure I’d pick something poisonous and die.

Unfortunately there are bad ones out there! If you ever want to join Pat let me know buddy, these came from out in the Fredrick watershed public land! Awesome place, people doing some real rock climbing, awesome streams for trout... cool civil era houses at the entry... really fun trip

You absolutely have to do your reserch, find out what is native to your area. If you find hen of the woods or chicken of the woods, murels, and a few others they can bring huge money!! These little guys sell for $50 a pound and sell out quick!!

Morels are huge around here. I'm not a fungi...guy....but they are very popular in my area.

I have a friend of mine that does ginseng hunting. You have to have a license to sell that stuff but its big money as well. He has several secret stashes that he has plotted into his GPS that he rotates from year to year.

Sounds like me.

 

[Ben8257]

I know there is ginseng here as well, no idea about the license part... I know they sell mushrooms on the side of the road here!

 

[davin]

Found em I had ones grow bigger than my hand in my yard, and when u flip them over its like purlecent and I’ve had mini ones

Yeah I think anyone can sell mushrooms. Don't quote me on the ginseng license thing. My buddy is a little....unique. So he could have been BS'ing me. I just know it sells so high that these guys are super secretive about their growth plots. Apparently you can't grow it anywhere but in the wild or something.

what's so good about these secretive mushrooms

Ginseng is a root not a shroom. I don't know really. I'm assuming because it can only be grown in the wild its rare. Its pretty sought after for certain things.

My honey will be home soon. Snack time.

I'm sure you should be able to reserch native to Hawaii mushrooms and see if they are edible... or find a red neck neighbor like Ben cook them up... offer his a refreshing beer and pass the bowl of fried mushrooms... then wait for results! Lmao

 

[Marhault]

Funny you say that. I'm FROM Missouri but a couple hours from the Ozarks. I currently live in Southern Illinois though.
