      I have heard, years ago, that foraging wild mushrooms is risky because poisonous hybrids are around that are virtually identical to the edible species. How risky is it now?

    My husband has ADHD, depression and was on medication for many years. When we moved and he had to get a new Doctor. Unfortunately because my husband was nearly 68, the Doctor said ADHD medication was not recommended for someone his age and he wouldn't renew his prescription. The Dr didn't even offer to wean him off the meds! He left him with no meds and had him go. God so kind a friend recommended us to mushrooms (psilocybin) precisely. After his experience with shrooms five years ago till now there's no more ADHD, depression and mental disorder. Shrooms are life changing. There is no way you can put into words what it feels like..

      Hey mates! Can you help with the source? I suffer severe anxiety, panic and depression and I usually take prescription medicine, but they don't always help. Where can I find those psilocybin mushrooms? I'm really interested in treating my mental health without Rxs. I live in Australia don't know much about these. I'm so glad they helped you. I can't wait to get them too. Really need a reliable source 🙏

      I'm so very happy for you mate, Psilocybin is absolutely amazing, the way it shows you things, the way it teaches you things. I can not believe our world and our people shows less interest about it's helpfulness to humanity. It's love. The mushrooms heals people by showing the truth, it would be so beneficial for so many people, especially politicians and the rich who have lost their way and every other persons out there.

      "Do we know who ate it first, so we could know that it's fatal?"

I actually cut myself one time on a really fresh young dryad because my knife was really sharp an it cut the mushroom really fast an I wrecked into my finger!! so be careful when using a knife

    Thank you for the tip about the coral mushroom. I recently found some but it was growing on the ground. Glad I didn't harvest it.

    I think that the morel in your video was identified properly but it grew the exact way that the false morel does. I’ve only ever encountered a few false morels. Usually early spring.

    • @OldManoftheWoods
      @OldManoftheWoods  6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I would be equally excited to see a false morel as I am yet to encounter one.

    • @michaelmichaelson2014
      @michaelmichaelson2014 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      @Subtle Nature If you cut them open then the morel will be hollow and a false one will not, so it's not too hard to tell the difference.

    If you ever wanted to try growing wine cap yourself, take one of the old ones and throw it in a blender. use the blended mushroom to inoculate some sterile media. could probably be done with the other ones as well, but wine cap is the only one i know is widely grown like that of the ones you found.

      it's about respecting the fungi kingdom. If everyone started ripping them out it's just not a good habit to push forward as foraging becomes more popular

    I used to hunt for Morels back in Missouri after springtime rains. Fried Morels are so delicious. Out in the sonoran desert, the only mushroom I've ever seen growing was a chicken of the forest. I don't know how, but it was growing.
    Also back in Missouri, we threw mushrooms under cars because they exploded after being run over. I think they were puffballs, can you tell me what they also could have been? They very well could have poofed green.

      Upper Northwestern corner of Washington state. I know ive stumbled across bunches of them over the years but never really knew the significance until recently. I find lots of boletes now, but ill be damned if i can find another king. Hoping this year will be the one! If i cant find any...shhhh...ill buy a couple if i have to haha. Ive heard they are really good eating? I found perfect lobsters and some beautiful chantrels this morning hiking around behind the place though.

    Always cut the mushroom instead of pulling because the mycellium "roots" can continue to grow.
