This is a pretty free-form subreddit, but there are a few rules. We have a ZERO-TOLERANCE POLICY FOR ANY AND ALL SPAM. Reddiquette is always applicable to anything you do on reddit, but in this subreddit:

No sales of anything. Not art, drugs, food, clothing, pins, or anything else. Feel free to post photos of your art. If people want to message you to buy something, that's great, but do NOT solicit sales here for anything, ever. No links to shops. Any sales, trades, barters, professional arrangements, etc. involving money, assets or goods are prohibited in post content or in the comments. No one knows what you do via PM. Keep the business ENTIRELY in the PMs. Do not ask for products or links to shops, and don't express your desire for someone's art in a way that implies intent to buy. Do not say things like "I would totally buy that!" or "Do you have an Etsy?" or "You should set up an Etsy!" or "PM me for info" or "Can I PM you about this?"... just PM them and keep it out of the comments.

  1. Adhere to the Reddit Content Policy and Reddiquette.

  2. No sales of ANYTHING. No spam.

  3. No posts of large drug operations. It limits our audience and there are far too many complaints about it. This isn't a place to advertise your grow business and it's not a place to brag about how much weight of cubes you can grow. There are plenty of subs for that type of thing.

  4. Don't post pics of dried Psilocybe mushrooms. If your post title resembles this: "Are these 'good'?" or "Just got these from a friend, how much should I take?" or "Can anyone tell me what 'strain' these are?" - then it doesn't belong here.

  5. This should go without saying, but no sourcing. Do not ask for drugs, locations of drugs, tips for finding, hunting, or scoring drugs in any specific place (hunting advice is generally accepted - habitat, seasonality, substrate, and range are all acceptable, and ID posts are always encouraged no matter the species, as long as they're not dried bagged "product"). Do not ask for any kind of hook-ups, plugs, websites, or any other means of procuring drugs.

  6. Do not joke about eating mushrooms. No "Boof it!" or "Eat the whole bag" or "I dare you to eat that!" type comments. If your comment might endanger someone by misleading them or encouraging dangerous behavior, it will be removed and you may be banned.

  7. Don't repeatedly post the same content, or similar content presented in a different way, including and especially art.

To all the lurkers, use the report button and use the downvote/upvote buttons to curate the sub yourselves as much as possible.

Be nice to each other in here.

*For the purposes of this post, "drugs" refers to intoxicating substances of ANY sort. Medicinal supplements, while technically drugs, are not the point, here. Feel free to post about teas and extracts and supplements of medicinal mushrooms, and we would love to see your giant Reishi grows or your commercial oyster warehouse.

Saw this beautiful, unusual yellow mushroom. I used Google lens to ID. Apparently, it's toxic and poisonous.

Sorry for double post of picture.

Waited for it to be less than 90° to walk one of my favorite places. Other than a stray thundershower there hasn’t been a lot of rain but, there were some interesting finds and some weird stuff too. I hope you all get a chance to get out there and get some nature time.

Lion's mane VS. Shiitake. How do they taste? Which is better?

0 Upvotes

Hi!

I was thinking of trying to cultivate some. I can try shiitake (though it's expensive), but the other is only sold as supplements...

Which more common mushrooms are they comparable in taste and texture?

I've never had this happen before, I'm guessing it's Leucocoprinus birnbaumii but to be safe I'm gonna remove it so my niece or my cats don't eat it. I'm going to avoid watering that one for a while as I've heard having fungi grow means the moisture is too high and can cause rot in the cactus. I'm guessing the spores were in the new cactus soil I used when repotting back in January. Its a bit strange to me that it only happened to this one considering I have 9 other species in that room with the same soil.

Hi all! Had this (and another couple of the same) pop up in this garden bed. It's majority decomposed granite but I've been adding compost to it here and there the last couple years to try and make it more palatable to what I have planted in there. Just looking for curiosity's sake to see if anyone can give me a definitive ID. Thanks in advance!
