Hi friend! Good to hear from you. Looking forward to spending a little time with Mom tonight. Shrooms store well in a glass jar with one of those dessicant packages. Watching Seinfeld and getting high

Mate, you’re a thinker and well prepared good on ya
I’m not an expert on storing shrooms cause I eat them and give them away to anyone who’s keen.
They don’t last years nor do well in hot spaces that’s for sure.
I’ve tried storing the lemon juice I’ve soaked shrooms in that got almost 2 years shelf life at room temp. Powdered caps similar.
I’d powderize them, put them into gel caps then in a jar, as Doober said, with desiccant then into the freezer. Making sure the jar lid is tapped up to seal it. I’ve never done this myself so maybe some else could chime in here?
I didn't know that thanks for the information good to know..
hey oldman had a friend vacseal them put in bucket in basement pulled em out yr and half were still good. met another guy would take his smalls and aborts fill a jar and top with honey did a spoonful honey helped with flavor i would think they would store really long in that and if you get big caps and stalks grind them up before mix

Yes the honey preserve I forgot about that, just woke up, I heard this method lasts the longest without refrigeration ….. tastes good too
Those are some pretty flowers!
raw honey by the way...a mason jar with the shroomies covered in honey and vac sealed should be good for quite a while
I've lived in a couple of places where I have picked wild asparagus including this area. Here I picked them along the abandoned railway track.
They remind me of wild strawberries bursting with flavor.

Never seen wild asparagus …. Is it native?
It’s bamboo shoot picking season here … great battered and fried tempura style
Watch out for those asparagus spears they will take your eye out in a blink.🫣they have a season on asparagus? what caliber/gauge is appropriate, or is it limited to primitive weapons only, like spears ?
Hi FTL...here where I picked asparagus along the abandoned rail grade it is sandwiched in between orchards/market gardens, so it could have been domesticated at one time. The last place I lived a couple of hours from here, there was no commercial agricultural businesses. So I'm not sure how those plants got established.
How tall are the bamboo shoots when harvested?
After a forest fire morel mushrooms become a well sought out item in the burnt out areas.
I have a dehydrator, my son bought me one as a gift.
I've got a few spots I hit every year. My sister has a cabin in the upper peninsula and there are bumper crops up there. There is some really nice ginseng also, have to watch out for bear while searching though.

Morning old man
Escapees awesome …. Pretty cool to find those spots.
I worked in an asparagus farm for a bit in the packing shed, got free bags every day … needless to say there was some side effects each morning
The best shoots of bamboo are still under the ground and just pushing the dirt up. You dig down and cut them off at about 8inches. Good bush food, nutty type flavor.
I worked at a ginseng farm for several years, my boss kept some ginseng in a bottle of vodka for those special nights, according to him.
I use to enjoy foraging and have done plenty of it in days gone by.

Those Morels made me hungry. Just had shiitake, mitake and Shimegi mushrooms cooked with garlic and butter on toast.
@oldmaninbc have you ever tried cats tails?
They’re a traditional Māori food source in NZ, I believe they are in Canada too(I saw them on a trailer park boys episode)
