Do chanterelles grown around your area?
My younger brother has found a couple of chanterelle varieties in his neck of the woods a big further east into Maryland. He apparently has a spot in a state park he frequents when the time is right. I have yet to find or try any.
I was kinda bummed about the lion's mane I found because it was too old, but I went back out the next day to the same tree and looked closer and found more small ones. So hopefully I can catch them when they are ripe at a different time. Still much to learn.

Very cool! Let us know if you do catch that lions mane at a better time

@Filthy:
Damn, you've got quite the brown thumb Brock. That's more luck than I ever had growing any cubes. But I think the kind I had wear not really suited for the climate I'm in. I was shopping for potency and not viability back when I did that the one summer. I never got more than maybe two flushes, like enough to give to my friends.
Thanks man. This was my first go at it and I think I lucked out. Especially since I went from multi spore syringe (MSS) straight to grain instead of using agar. It’s all about keeping it sterile until you have colonized substrate. But I’m still a major noob and I’m excited to try cultivating gormet mushrooms!

I saw an interesting vapor lock device that is dry autoclavable (oven) that goes on the top of a mason jar. But I guess you do the agar thing and inject the spores into a liquid, then put it on birdseed, then into your fruiting chamber. Google PF TEK to see the procedure I used. Like I said, I think I should have just gotten some easier to grow spores and I probably would been fine.
I have the death cap mushroom that grow around my house. One bite of them and you'll be needed a kidney transplant in a month… But by the time you realize you're sick it's already too late.

One of my favorite docs! I read the book too. It’s even better

Looks like you had a good day hunting as well –- We were only in the forrest for maybe an hour but we had good luck.
