I was reading my book about this guy who grew rare mushrooms in areas they don’t grow. This was in California. For example there weren’t shitake mushrooms in California before he brought them over from Japan.

I really like mushrooms, not to eat but just to look at…and I’m not talking psychedelic mushrooms.

It’d be cool to find a place where rare mushrooms aren’t being grown, and sell them to the public, cuz there’s something fresh about local mushrooms. This is my dream career…but I will never do it but it’s a cool thought.

They have some pretty damn cool rare mushrooms out there! Thoughts, objections?

I’ve only seen the turkey tail and puffballs! I used to like gently kicking the puffballs and watching them release their spores.

Yesterday when I was having my “mercurial moment” I bought a field guide on over 420 species of mushrooms in America

So when mushroom season comes now I can take a plastic bag and gloves and pick mushrooms, then go home and identify them and learn about them!

A silver lining to my mercurial moment

I’m excited

Be very careful of mushrooms, some of them are very poisonous.
