What did you accomplish today?

[MICHI-CAN]

Shrooms! I can't talk the wife into letting me get one of the kits to grow them...

Probably best. But keep it STERILE if you ever do. Was interesting and easy. Just not my thing.

I was growing lots of different gourmet shrooms a handful of years ago.

I just pick morels. Old timers can't do the hikes anymore and I don't trust my years of picking with them. Dying art here.

I always slice in half and float in ice water. So many things crawl out of the little cracks.

I meant to split the mushroom when picked. You can then release the wildlife into it's environment instead of your sink.

They grow about 30' off the deck.......I am the environment..........then I dump the water back in the same spot so the spores stay around too.

Winner. I hike a long ways now days. Subdivisions don't produce so well.

Keep doing what your doing. Avoid the deck when drinking beer.

Gotta try once. My old lady will not let me cook them in the house. But eats them as fast as I can cook them.

You need to try! So good......so far evey way I've had them. Problem is you only get one shot per year.......one year I had a huge (to me) harvest....I made some really amazing wild mushroom soup.........vac sealed it and in the freezer it went. Few months later I went to have it.........I asked my wife where it went? Didn't have a date or label.........she threw it out! Fuckin just punch me in the nuts! LOL

OK, I'll figure out a place to buy them.
