Confirming paw paw. I ate so many last fall I got sick for days. I love paw paw and make a ice cream out of them every year.

I have paw paw seeds out the ass and already vernalized. If anyone is actually interested I can send you some.

Hey I am looking for may pointers you have. We had a huge storm roll in and knocked down some huge trees on my property. I am planning on going into the woods and grabbing some oaks, lines and walnuts to replace them. Any tips on transplanting?

 

I came across a big dryads saddle today. I got Shep in there for scale, I would say it is about .25 sheps in diameter.

The other thing I love about these mushrooms is the trippy underside(I forgot to grab a video). Then I swear they smell like a watermelon rind when you cut into them but my wife argues against, so I could use a decider here. As always hope you all are enjoying the weather and get a chance to be in nature.

They look like Mica caps(Coprinellus micaceus) to me. Were they sparkly by chance?

There were about 10 or so. I only grabbed a few, I like to leave plenty to send out spores.

Nope, these guys are a choice edible. You are probably thinking of gyromitra genus.

 

I have been finding lots of these guys over the past week.

When I first started hunting for morels I researched how to identify trees based of bark so I could hunt under the elms, tulips, sycamores, etc. what I ended up finding out is mushrooms grow where mushrooms want, rules of thumb be damned.

This patch here was 30 feet away from the closest tree and at that they were pines. Morels cannot be stopped apparently. Happy hunting folks.

That is interesting. I have some weird gymnopilus that I does not fit cleanly into a species(I am probably missing something honestly), I will have to look into that program to finally find out. Thanks for passing that along.

Are you doing the sequencing or are you sending it off for analysis?

I am late to this party but that knife looks great.

This is another genus I never looked deeply into so others are welcome to chime in. If I had to guess I would go with brunnea over caroliniana but that is off memory so who knows.

The one thing I do know is that morels come shortly after I start seeing these guys. I already found ramps so just need to check morels off. Hope spring has arrived for you guys as well.

This is a staple of Menards. When I die I hope I wake up in a Menards store front, smelling cut pine with a Sprechers in my hand.

 

These are some of the first mushrooms to pop around me in spring. The red is always a welcome sight. Not great for eating but I have put them in salads more so for color then them actually tasting good.

There is a python CLI you should look into. This gets out of my comfort zone so likely not using the right terminology but you can connect via serial and they will dump very detailed logs over that connection. I am not sure if those detailed logs are saved though, or you would need to capture live.

I have used this for troubleshooting but there is loads of information being passed over.

Beautiful picture. My car setup if my handheld on my dash and a USB feeding it power if it needs to recharge. It has worked well for me
