I am so grateful for any support you choose to give, financial or emotional! 🙏 This week’s episode is about foraging for wild mushrooms and how I learned not to die by eating them. I studied a book and used it in conjunction with an app to help me identify mushrooms.
The book I used: https://amzn.to/3fyEyCT
NOTE: This book is specific to Europe and Britain. If you live elsewhere, you should get something specific to your area.

What book do you use for identification?
Do not show this to Australians
Am gonna need to get that app and book you used to identify them. Though I don’t know how helpful it will be to me since I live in the United States.
thats why i stick to fly agaric cuz i cant mistake it with anything deadly
Polish 9 year olds be like
Crazy how you are so careful yet i would go out to pick those my grandma told me are edible when i was a kid.
nice video, but here in holland its not allowed to pick anything from the forrest
Until I become more knowledgeable, I don't eat a mushroom until someone I know to be an experienced forager identifies it and verifies it. At this stage, I'm only confident personally with the safe and accurate identification of four mushrooms.
I've gathered a few specimens recently and I'm going to a local mycological society event next week to get them IDed.
Learn where you poop!
Psychedelic mushrooms really healed me years back. Totally got rid of depression, anxiety and illicit pill addiction.
recommending any new foragers to use the r/shroomid and r/mushroomid. They are really helpful
For the record, picking a mushroom will not hinder the growth. It’s simply the “fruit” of the entire organism.
Think of it as a tree, but the mycelium is the root system and the wood, the mushrooms are the apples. You can pick an entire tree if all viable fruit and it won’t hurt it, gonna drop it anyways.
There’s some superstition that you can tap the spores loose to help propagate
I suffered the borderline disorder for over 23 years. With so much anxietyNot until I came across psilocybin mushrooms treatmentPsilocybin treatment actually saved my life honestly. 6 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms
Was on a hike today and saw some mushrooms so I downloaded this app on a whim and spent the next two hours running around the forest finding mushrooms! I only left because the sun was going down
Psilocybin,LSD, shroom and ketamine are absolutely life changing substance that have so much potential to help people with mental health issues
As soon as I saw your face I knew you were British
I just want 2 forage magic mushroom 😊
a good way to forage mushrooms is to learn to identify a couple good common mushrooms and stick to them. for me the usual ones are golden chanterelles and funnel chanterelles. i'll also look for porcini but the worms almost always find them first.
Bro made 8 minutes video telling me to touch grass (or mushrooms).
This video is life changing!
I try some yesterday and now i am very sick and burning
