But think of the spores
Damn, nice find! Probably, something to look forward to next year at least
For sure! I just set a reminder on my phone to come back here earlier next year lmao. I wonder how many flushes of this size can come from the nutrition in one log. I’m gonna be come saprotrophic.
Probably a lot. That log is gigantic and looks at least somewhat fresh. Great find.
Thanks and i hope so! I assume I’ll remember to post it again next september either way
Nice! I have yet to find any. I need to forage more.
hey you already have a joke star w*rs name on hexbear- that’s half the battle, now you just need to wander around a forest!
Too old for what?
too old for eating (at least by a human)
when they get older like these ones were they lose a lot of flavor and go from being springy and tender to tough, dry, and woody. cleaning them also becomes increasingly labor intensive the older they are as you have to contend with more fungus gnat larvae and cutting away rotten spots. you can’t tell from my poorly-focused picture but these ones were dried out, pale, and half-eaten by bugs, a lot like me after a hike in the woods.
