Title: Mushroom hunting and growing
Post by: ChrissyRyan on October 02, 2024, 06:20:21 PM
Do you go out looking for edible mushrooms or grow them?  Or do you just like to find mushrooms and look at them, maybe taking pictures of them?

I saw some giant 10-12 inch diameter puffballs growing recently, I kicked one open and it was solid and whitish, with a smooth white skin.  I do not know if it was good to eat or not.  I did not try.

I see all kinds of mushrooms or fungi.  I am amazed at the variety of colors, sizes, and shapes.
Some stick out of tree bark.  Others grow in the ground.  Sometimes there are a bunch of the same variety growing next to each other. 

Some are unsafe for humans to eat.  I do not cook or eat any of them, except what I buy at the food market.
