Anyway, Jingles...
We have 100's in our yard and pasture. If you'll tell me/show me which ones are safe, I'll glad cut and send you some.

Here, I find them where they grow and that might be anywhere. Seem to see them the most in a lighter greenish blue grass that grows in bands. Might be western wheat grass, but I'm not real sure.andybob said:As a matter of interest, do you find wild mushrooms always grow in greater numbers in paddocks where horses have been, and few grow where no equines have grazed for some years? or is this just some African occurance?
John SD said:JB, I haven't noticed any 'shrooms of that quality around here. Saw some of those spindly kind growing up out where I fed some hay last winter.
One year when I moved cattle to my summer pasture in your neck of the woods after a rain there was a bumper crop. My uncle and neighbor picked a better than a 50lb paper salt sack full.
Might be something to the horse pasture thing, they got most of the mushrooms off my neighbor's pasture on that end. And I sure ain't got no horses in my pasture!:lol: :wink:
BTW JB, I think your scientific explanation how to distinguish between edible and poison mushrooms is right on the money. To the best of my knowledge I haven't eaten a mushroom that has killed me yet anyway. :roll: :shock::lol: :wink:
PS: Congrats on cranking over the 5K post mark! A guy can sure "waste" a lot of time on here! :wink:

JB I just found these yesterday. Not many popping up around here yet. The brand I picked are RESISTOL, . :roll: Might have to take a road trip to TTB if a bunch more don't start showing up.
An old cowboy taught me how to tell if they're mushrooms years ago when we were rounding up for a branding. He told me his dad taught him, and his dad had taught him.. Then he paused and said with a frown, you know they're both gone now. lol
I usually find the mushrooms on a side hill in a circle. Always a circle. The grass is usually better as they fertilize the ground and our native bluestem usually takes over then.
My spring has 3 seasons, March-April, wild onions
April May, wild asparagus May- June and on thru summer if it rains, the best--- wild mushrooms :wink: [/img]
