ShrmlvrAir Posted September 7 Report Posted September 7 Today's haul!! My word you guys wouldn't believe how many mushrooms are popping up. It's so awesome! I found a cauliflower for the first time but it was too slimy in the center for me.. I found something strange growing on a really old maple with a ton of moss. It was like an egg that was squishy. It was bigger under the moss so I separated one and popped it 🤢 the outside * shell* turned purple and the small beige egg was firm. Gonna watch the one I left to grow. Also gonna eat my first king bolete!! I've id'ed a couple now so this one's a keeper. Finally😋 Quote
JOHNY Posted September 8 Report Posted September 8 Nice harvest. Curious, what is the big white thing beside the Hedgehogs in the lower corner? Quote
ShrmlvrAir Posted September 8 Author Report Posted September 8 Hey! It's actually a bigger hedgehog. I think it was a bit dry then had some rain. It had teeth and a very chunky stem. It tastes exactly like the smaller ones I normally find. I'm sorry I don't know the proper names. It's rare for me to find them that big for sure so I left a piece of it to spore. Quote
vitog Posted September 9 Report Posted September 9 The larger hedgehog is probably Hydnum repandum, and the smaller ones are likely Hydnum umbilicatum (belly-button hedgehog). Quote
ShrmlvrAir Posted September 9 Author Report Posted September 9 I completely agree! I found those names as well I'm still learning and appreciate your help. Thank you! 🍄 Quote

Honestly, foraging for wild mushrooms sometimes feels like playing at an vip casino bonuses in Canada explained https://playvipcasino.net/ you never know if you're about to hit the ultimate jackpot or just take a crazy gamble!

ShrmlvrAir Posted 16 hours ago Author Report Posted 16 hours ago Hey Brafy! I dunno how that casino stuff got added 🧐 I tookany pics of the Stink horn that popped out. I actually found a few of them. Even today they're still around due to not having a frost yet. I think they're called ravenels Stinkhorn I think. If I find any next year I'm going to try them in the egg stage. Quote
