I was thinking it was a deer also and maybe our dog spooked him off before he finished his meal. We have a lot of blacktail deer here. They eat everything, and our landscaping reflects their appetite.
Yeah, I’d guess it took the first test bite from the front right (hence the gills left intact) and then a more confident chomp from the left. Both are from an upper angle, and the teeth seem far too large for anything smaller that might nosh on rando fungi (raccoons, squirrels, rabbits, etc.), so your local blacktail are my bet. 🤓
Ha! I enjoy the vibrant diversity of the English language and do try to paint with it sometimes. Besides, my gramma always said, “Don’t use the same word twice in short succession. That’s lazy.” 😅
I think identifying mushrooms with these apps is a fool’s errand at this point. They are almost always wrong, unless it’s something very obvious and distinctive.
Well maybe your experience has been different from mine but the suggestions I get are usually very wrong. You can absolutely use it as a jumping off point for further research and verification but I am wary of people thinking that these apps are at all accurate for mushrooms. There was just an article of a guy who ate destroying angels because his app ID’d them as giant puffballs. This is not a level of accuracy that I can endorse when the consequences can be life or death.
Seek specifically has a warning as soon as you open the camera to start an identification. I personally would not trust it enough for consumption even without the warning.
It looks like white oyster mushroom which are super delicious. Theres a mushroom app called picture mushroom, where you take a picture and it tells you about it, so id check that first. If you like mushrooms then you’re lucky to have these growing here!
There’s a guy on shroomery that seemed to have it down to a science a few years ago. It was a little more involved than cubes but not by much. I haven’t been active there in a while, I wonder if the process has been simplified since then.
I’ve grown Pans and they’re no harder than cubes if you know how to pastuerize and balance FAE and humidity for oyster mushrooms. And I know people grow Psilocybe Cyans but they tend to fruit them outside in a wood patch.
Panaeolus cyanescens can be grown at home - at least there are finished sets, I couldn’t get to fruit mine with cow dung, as planned… But the original substrate worked well
I’ve grown Bisporus, which are slower than Cyans. If you know how to pastuerize (which you can do in a dehydrator if you want to make it idiot proof; message me if you want help on this), they’re not that hard. They like a lot of FAE and humidity, similar to oyster mushrooms, but people grow those all the time without issue.
Check out Baba Yaga’s thread on the shroomery, growing pans in monos. They really don’t require a lot of extra shit if you’re patient and know how to clone.
