Mushrooms

[trooper]

I know there are a bunch of mushrooms that grow in the wild, I can tell which are good to eat and those that are poisionous that grow in our area, I'm looking for a good book on Mushroom Identification and plants also. My dad has all the Tom Brown books but I don't like them cause they got too many dumb stories in them on when he was kid, I just wana learn the plants.
Anyone know any good mushroom books.

[Rick]

You might try Simon & Schuster's Guide to Mushrooms.

[trooper]

Thank you, my pops hates mushrooms so he won't try it to learn them says he'll neer eat them, stubborn stubborn man.

Trooper, remind him of who's going to be saying yay or nay to 'pulling the plug' when he's 120 years old, toothless and being spoonfed pablum by some hot nurse that he's way to feeble to make a grab for....how's that for dictatorship pal?

give it 2 more years. then you will believe you know everything in the world. and only learn the hard way.. at least thats how i was... then after another couple years you will see that you never stop learning.
i have allot of scares to remind me to lessen to what others know :D

Petersons field guide:ISBN 0-395-91090-0 is a good manual also try;The Mushroom hunters Field Guide: by ALEXANDER H. SMITH two extreemly good mushroom books with out stories.

[Rick]

Ah, Beo won't let Trooper on any more. He keeps telling stories on his old man then we poke fun at him.

[erunkiswldrnssurvival]

I picked some gold stalk Boletus the other day. thoes are easy identify, leather brown on top with sulfer yellow pores underneath, also slender stems.

Some friends of my Mom when I was in my teens were really into the whole "Mother earth" "Organic" "Live off the land" thing. From what I knew they had been that way for many years. They always looked forward to the wild mushroom season. One day they, my Mom and another lady went out to pick wild mushrooms. The next day my Mom got a call from the other lady. The husband and wife had cooked up some of the wild mushrooms they picked that day and were now in the hospital. The wife died within 24 hours, the husband live for almost 4 days then died. That was enough of an example for me. I never ate another wild mushroom after that and never will knowingly eat a wild mushroom. One other thing, my Mom never picked wild mushrooms again.

[crashdive123]

I can see where an experience like that will change your way of thinking. Me, I don't know enough about them to safely pick them.

I wish I had a dad that could teach me almost everything about wilderness survival.
I just met my dad for the first time last christmas. Although I found out he is why I
have a love for the outdoors.

True story, and that was our minute together getting to know your Armysurvivalist.

Morel Mushrooms are bad for you! When they're in season they must not be allowed to stay on the forest floor! Pick any you can find, pack in dry ice, & mail them to me to dispose of since I'm the only person in the nation properly trained in their disposal!:rolleyes:

[crashdive123]

.....burp......

Last October I was re-united with my 38 year-old son from my 1st marriage whom I hadn't seen in 34 years! He'd been a Marine & went through the Gulf War, now married with 5 kids, 4 of whom I met (my grandchildren) for the 1st time last Thanksgiving! Well, so much for the Hall-Mark moment.:cool:

I love morel mushrooms too. many people are shy of morels because the wine
mushroom thing that the experts say "Makes you SICK" I dont buy it! morels are among the very best food. I know that some of the False morels arent good, for identification I use my books.

[Gray Wolf]

Sarge, I'm happy for you and them, make the most of it. :)

[klkak]

I met my real father once. I heard he died about two years ago. Another drunken Indian goes to the happy bar....Oops....hunting grounds. Thank God for Grandfathers.

[rickymartin]

There are a number of species of mushroom that are toxic, and although some look likes certain fit to be eaten. Most mushrooms that are sold in supermarkets have been commercially grown on mushroom farm.

Rickymartin - how about going to the introduction section and telling us about yourself. What was the point of your link? Spam?

[Gray Wolf]

He's just had a little to much Crystal Meth, and is now looking for magic mushrooms. :rolleyes:
