      @Chap Do you have or recommend a guide book for mushrooms?  When you first started, did you examine the spores to ensure your identification was correct?

      I’m a neophyte and at this point only collect morels which are easy for me to identify and always tasty.

        What are you talking about @Chap ?!?  Doesn’t this look like mushroom country to you?

          @Matt What a cool picture!!  I imagine it would be kind of easy to get lost there if you weren't paying attention.

            @Matt great picture indeed, and doesn't look like mushrooms in the ground there, but probably lots of dead bodies

              That’s literally across the street from my neighborhood.  If you turn the camera around there’s a mountain.

                  No… it doesn’t. The only thing I can see are rattlesnakes, lots of rattlesnakes, this looks like rattlesnake country… I can even hear them while looking at that pic… and it’s so… flat. I think I‘ve never been anywhere where the land is that flat. If there weren’t the rattlesnakes I really would love to visit you…

                      @Matt So you have seen some.  Is it a rare sighting or something that happens quite a bit?  How about the scorpions and gila monsters?

                      All of this stuff plays into my irrational fears, but it doesn't mean I wouldn't mind seeing them (just not surprising them).

                        I haven’t seen any scorpions but some people get them in the house. I spray.  Rattlesnakes are a rare site and disappear totally from October to May.  Gila Monsters are extremely rare.  Black widows have infested my back yard by they don’t mess with you.  I’ve been sitting on top of one nesting under my chair in the yard for weeks and never noticed.

                          @goosehd yes of course I have one, but it is in german and only about the mushrooms of our area… the easiest thing here when starting the hunt is to keep the eyes manly on boletus like porcini, there is only one which is toxic here and it is easy to identify it. With mushrooms with gills it is more difficult and you need a bit more training to get the right ones... and there are some really bad guys among them.

                              @Chap …it’s been my fear and why I’m hesitant to make mistakes.  The consequences of messing up could be deadly.

                              I did look online today and found a Peterson guide and one for my local region.  Could be the start to a new hobby or the quickening of my demise…

                              …but it’s going to wait for a bit as I decided to get an espresso machine…man I hate this place  😃 😃

                                😃 😃 😃 I know…

                                I did look online today and found a Peterson guide today and one for my local region.

                                I think that is a very good decision as I am pretty sure there will be some significant odds from region to region…

                                  I saw a bunch of mushrooms adorning cow pies in a cattle pasture, should I forage those?  😃

                                          Just the thought of getting something that hot on “other sensitive areas” is prompting a similar reaction  😃
