mr.yuck Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 This was my first find and one I was pretty stoked about that set the pace for the week. Ghost pipe is nearly impossible to cultivate. oyster mushroom we spotted along a creek. This thing was massive. Close to 2 ft across and almost 2feet tall. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr.yuck Posted July 11, 2021 Author Share Posted July 11, 2021 Hundreds of these little guys up the side of this tree. They are called turkey tails and get to be up to 4 inches across. The largest of these were maybe 2 inches. Edible I believe. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr.yuck Posted July 11, 2021 Author Share Posted July 11, 2021 I found this bad boy while doing a bike ride down the Virginia Creeper Train line. I forget what this is called. Begins with an A. Is edible and gets up to 20 inches wide. I think this one was maybe 9 or 10. So the Virginia Creeper bike ride was pretty awesome. It’s a 17 mile long decommissioned rail line that crosses lots of trusses and is all down hill. Took about 4 hours to do with all of the photo ops. I think we all have one of these stories lol Found some Chantrell along the ride. Other honorable mentions I didn’t get photos of; Pitch Pine, Giant “My Girl” Bee Hive, and tree down blocking the path. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr.yuck Posted July 11, 2021 Author Share Posted July 11, 2021 @SchnitzelNo way. I’m not comfortable enough with mushrooms to forage for them. I did come across several patches of wild black raspberries that were a treat to get into. I have some more pictures I need my wife to send me including the ones where my Father in law almost slid us over the edge of a mountain on a muddy road trying to go around a downed tree. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mercer Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 Looks like you're deep in morel mushroom country. Those are super easy to ID, and hard to be mistaken for anything else. 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr.yuck Posted July 11, 2021 Author Share Posted July 11, 2021 @One Man BannedDamn I should have harvested all of those to tighten up my blood pressure. @MercerI didn’t see the first morel. That’s the only mushroom I really feel confident about. My WV spirit animal kept calling it “land fish” lol. I had to show him a picture so we could get on the same page. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mercer Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 Really dug scrolling through all the dope fungus pics up there.

Dark_Knight Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 I see these a good amount by one of my fishing holes in the late summer. Idk what they are but they look cool. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr.yuck Posted July 11, 2021 Author Share Posted July 11, 2021 That thing looks cool @Dark_Knight. It looks like an inverted morel. Probably hella toxic. This is not advise. @MercerI know the feeling I was looking at my little mushroom cheat pamphlet and it gave warning that the baby angel of death mushroom looks just like a full grown perfectly good to eat mushroom. It was at that moment that I decided not to try any risky behavior over an hour from the nearest hospital. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMdoubleXL Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 I would love to walk with you. Found ghost pipes. For the first time last October.

One Man Banned Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 After reading Mr. Yuck's post I went out for a quick hike and found a shit ton of those, they're also known as Indian Pipe. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr.yuck Posted July 16, 2021 Author Share Posted July 16, 2021 I had a large tree branch come down from my tulip poplar in my back yard while I was out of town. It’s got turkey tails growing all over it which makes me nervous about how much of the tree is dead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMdoubleXL Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 Someone was mentioning at work how Tulip Poplars are more frequented by lightning than any other tree. they grow tall so maybe that why? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr.yuck Posted July 17, 2021 Author Share Posted July 17, 2021 @SMdoubleXLMaybe so. I know they are hella touchy when they don’t get enough water. Last summer in the middle of the summer they dumped all of their leaves on me. I couldn’t figure that one out for shit. I thought they were gonna fall over. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fat ralphy Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 Does psilocybin only grow in shit? I know people find them in cattle fields but do they grow wild anywhere? Dope thread. I am into grilling up fat portobellos- 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morton Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 They grow wild all over, some like the cow patty. When I was a kid we used to get them off known patches of lawn amongst other places a big city park and cemetery. More experienced guys would go for a another type in the woods. I think that the cultivation has gotten so popular and refined that now a days most heads just get farmed stuff but I could be wrong, my knowledge of that type of thing is dated and my connections to it worn thin with time. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr.yuck Posted July 17, 2021 Author Share Posted July 17, 2021 @fat ralphythere are dozens of naturally occurring psychedelic mushrooms. Only one kind grows in shit though I think. @mortonIve never been brave enough to pick any wild mushroom and eat it no matter the reward haha. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People used to harvest them growing wild out of cow shit back in the day, and some probably still do. Never even considered trying myself because I hate shit, and it's a risky art form. You really have to get schooled by the right person, there are some poisonous types that look almost identical to the psilocybin types. Guessing the ones they grown in a tents these days taste better than to ones picked off from turds. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m pretty sure you can get spore kits fairly easily from the interwebz and start propagating in your own closet. For science or what ever. Check your local and state laws. This isn’t advice. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fat ralphy Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 @Mercer I used to eat them on the regular - couple times a month while I was in high school…..definitely shit taste. Never had any from grow kits but I assume you are right and that that more common these days and probably taste better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercer Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 Pretty sure psilocybin mushrooms are legal here now in CO. Weird now that I can eat them legally, I feel like I never have an entire day to set aside for it. I've only had the illegal poopspawned variety so far myself. Might have to take some on the next all day hike or something. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr.yuck Posted July 19, 2021 Author Share Posted July 19, 2021 Here’s my story of why I don’t really fuck with shrooms anymore. Back in my hay day we hit drought season on weed. The plug stopped by my house and I thought I was getting a new shipment of weed. Wrong. This dude went into his jacket and pulled out a pound bag of shrooms and tossed it to me. I asked what the fuck is this? He replied “Drugs nigga! Go sell it!” We laughed and joked for a while about the shit because he didn’t know what to charge me and I didn’t know what to charge anyone else. On his way out he said “Let me know how it goes. I can get tons of this shit.” So I was off to the races. People were excited at this new opportunity and copping multiple 8ths. I was sold out the next day. So I hit up the plug and was like Bring 2 more. This is where shit fucks up. Apparently people get burned out on shrooms. I moved through the next unit in about a week. Then shit virtually stopped. I was like yo what are we gonna do with the rest of these fucking things and my ace says “fuck it. We’re rich. Let’s just eat them.” I had never done shrooms before and was interested. This began a 30 day long adventure of tripping every day. It got to the point where I was inviting people over just to help me eat these shrooms and people were like no thanks bro. I told my ace “I don’t wanna do this anymore.” He laughed and said “No problem,” as he popped a few more caps. He started making Spaghetti for dinner and I had finally sobered up for the first time in weeks. He watched me eat the spaghetti with this wild look in his eyes. And then I started tripping again because he made the pasta sauce with more shrooms. “Gotcha bitch!” Finally the shrooms ran out. It was about two years before I tried any again and it’s been another 11 or 12 years since then. 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
