Nature sure is heavy metal

You should have fit a picture of a cat but I guess there wasn't mush room

You know what they say about mushroom foraging… they are all edible at least once.
vottaaaa
Oh man I bet the foraging is going to be great after the showers we've been having this week. I'll need to find some good foraging spots around the bay.

Looks like a great week!

#2 Not many people realize that Scotsmen start as just a sporran. If harvested at this stage in Scotland, be sure to leave some on the tree so that it can continue to grow into a Scotsman. In California its okay to take the whole sporran.

We've had so many wildfires, year after year where I live. The morels grow everywhere. I just wish winter wasn't the better part of 8 months.

The tree pussy was my favorite mushroom on display. I’ve never seen one around here but I recognize some of the others from my backyard! (Not that I would ever be brave enough to forage them lol)

Thank you for being another human being who goes on vacation and half the photos are fungi. I went to Alaska and did the same.
lostwalllet
Did you ever look up?

Horn of plenty/trumpet of death are so damn good. I'm always very happy when I find them.

Great post OP! I just spent like the last 20 min perusing your life that you share on Imgur, and wow -- you seem pretty cool!
shakinbones
Thanks mang! My mom told the story about how the first time I went to the beach she set me down and I ran in straight over my head lol, been running ever since!
Hawkgirl203
That fancy resort made you forage fungus to eat?
/s just in case
shakinbones
I live up here I get to visit my friends soak in the springs when they stay at the fancy resort lol
MungChomper69420

lol I just commented on another one that it just needs candles, a skull, an animal skull, runes and sigils, hanging wards, and a cauldron, and it's fully functional.
I think every Pagan would dream to have a lil magical nook like this. It looks so frickin cozy and whimsical.
an0therthr0waway
after storing all that you gathered, you won't have mushroom left...
shakinbones
Mush room😂😂 I just got it how the hell did I miss that one?
shakinbones
When these types come up they are everywhere and by the time you find them they've done their job and dropped the spores, there are plenty and I mean plenty left.
sometimesarobot
...That was a pun
shakinbones
Cool lol, I thought you were trying to rain on my parade but the rain would bring more mushrooms then you could rain again then more shrooms it never would have ended
sometimesarobot
I didn't make the pun lol
shakinbones
Ok now I'm lost in the woods lol
sometimesarobot
Bird, spooky woods, mushrooms, hidden sitting, A+

Cauldrons are overrated. Do you know how HEAVY those things would be?
nation543
Sure do, lol. They are very, very, very sacred. They are a really big symbol for witches - I have a little one.
sometimesarobot
Just can't imagine ever putting it somewhere more than five feet from where it was cast.

Looks like home.. God I miss living in Ukiah. NorCal is heaven on Earth
shakinbones
Yep I'm over on Clear Lake
BoobJiggle
Depending on what part, I usually refer to lake county as a 1-tooth town lol
It's still absolutely gorgeous out that way though, just no giant redwood forests, sadly.
For a long time, that was the largest man-made lake in North America
shakinbones
It was never the largest man made lake it is the oldest lake in North America. People love to talk trash about Lake county I say keep talking that's why I can afford a couple houses on the lake lol. It's beautiful here.
BoobJiggle
It is beautiful, but while I was growing up and in my early twenties, it was the meth capital of NorCal. No idea if that's changed.
shakinbones
Ya there are still remnants, you go out in the woods need to drive around the trash getting way better and just depends where you're at. I live in the Keys no issues

Watched a lot of good shows over at Kobocti, 3 doors down, staind, 3 days grace, even nickelback in the early 00s (before they were universally hated).. favorite shows were Foreigner and Styx - they played indoor and it was probably one of the top-3 shows I've ever been to.
Heard they shut down like 15 years ago or something like that. Not the casino, I just mean the venue for performances.. don't know if it's true or not though. Do you?
shakinbones
They reopened o couple years ago hoping they start having big names again!
BoobJiggle
That would be awesome.. that was pretty much the only place that really serviced rural far Northern California before you got up to like eureka/arcata, or Sack'o'tomato .. but that place sucks lol
WellThatsJustWhatWeCallPillowTalkBaby
Beautiful! Where were you at? I grew up in the Mendocino area, my family lives now between Gualala and Philo. I go out to visit every year. (We also harvest lovely fungi to eat from the woods). For my money, there is no lovelier place on earth, I am planning on moving back there in a couple of years.
OddlyPacific
It would be great if it had jobs and better roads. The redwood curtain was too isolating for me.
albaboss
What a beautiful area! I lived and worked in Point Reyes for a season and it was one of the most gorgeous places I’ve ever been. If you’re reading this and have never visited, make this your next vacation!
shakinbones
When you move back or visit hmu! I spend most of my time on the lake it's my happy place. You fish?
WellThatsJustWhatWeCallPillowTalkBaby
Haven't in ages, but hell yeah I just might, when I move back out there I will be lookingfor buddies! Ya aren't that far away from where I am planning to settle down. (Point Arena).
shakinbones
I'm always cruising around taking day trips too!
shakinbones
I live on Clear Lake best fishing anywhere! Got these shrooms below FT Bragg I am so in love with this area moved up here 7 years ago I walk around like I'm in a dream
checkacheckitoutlikethisherewego
Aw hell yeah I was up in salt point today in the rain. It was lovely. Lots of matsutake plus the winter trio.
lurkerthatoccationallywantstocomment
I've been eyeballing that area for a while. What hot springs are those? I'm familiar with Harbin Hot springs, but that looks different
FuManLu
Clear (fucking) lake. I live in central Cali and me and my wife go up there every valentines day... cuz it's so picturesque. Walk on my friend. Enjoy!!!
shakinbones
Love it up here!
WellThatsJustWhatWeCallPillowTalkBaby
Nowhere else like it, you have ended up in a good place indeed. Here is the view from my mom's living room (near Gualala)
shakinbones
Nice! I can feel the peace lol
WellThatsJustWhatWeCallPillowTalkBaby
No sounds but the gentle creak of the trees...it is a hell of a place to be.
WellThatsJustWhatWeCallPillowTalkBaby
If you ever drive through Philo I recommend stopping here (shameless plug for my families restaurant).
