I have several patches that pop up in spring & fall right on the side of the road.
I have not harvested them, it was my thought that to leave them be, they will reseed and every year we may be lucky enough to get more.
We also have a rather large 5 X 6 foot area right in the middle of our drive way turn around, thank fully we do ot use often, that sprouts hordes of shaggy manes, very yummy!
Shaggies love gravel & sandy hard soils, strange as it seems, the little shrooms have no problem pushing up through long packed rock-hard rail road rock in our driveway that is almost as dense as asphalt.
They'll pop through asphalt too!
Isn't it amazing given that they have no roots to speak of, and are generally just goo & water ?

See if you can find out what trees they are growing on & try to take a few pictures for me ?
I MUST have some here & would LOVE to dig some & try them.
Some go for hundreds & thousands of dollar a pound!
Have you eaten any ?
How did you prepare them ?
I let the dogs eat them, I am digestively compromised lol so I did not trust that I could eat them and not pay the price for it. mushrooms do me in and I LOVE them. better safe than sorry. They grow under a fir or hemlock tree in my back yard, will take a pic later, the tree has a bluish cast to it. it looks like a type of fir. these are oregon white truffles, they are used locally, not as exciting as the french truffles but would sell ok if you had enough of them. these are fresh and still wet.

Scanning through the posts, and before I read this I was wondering why you would be posting a picture of chicken doo!

I worked in a hospital for a while.
I had to full drape & mask a few times and go in and feed sick patients.
One time as I was doing so, the old man hurled all over me...glad I was draped !
One thing I still do not understand is the implatation of anything into the body (most especially something so deep & close to the pericardium) with NO antibiotic sent home !
In surgery, we always prescribed a profilactic antibiotic with oral surgery especially as the very staph can enter the blood stream and guess where it goes ?
Straight to the pericardium & the heart is infected.
DH has a SS plate in his foot, for 10 years now, and still, he gets a profilactic antibiotic before dental work due to possible staph infections.
Antibiotics are sometimes misused and over prescribed, but in the case of implantation, and deep invasive surgery, I think the ounce of prevention is worth many millions of pounds of cure, and in this case, possible death.
How is your classes going ?
Even with the overuse of antibiotics, that seems a bit crazy to me. When I was pregnant and DD stuck her foot out of me, I had to be on IV antibiotics for the duration of the pregnancy even though I never tested positive! They gave me so many, it wiped out my intestinal fauna and all the good bacteria as well, until yeast set in, so then they'd do 3 days IV Flagl and back to the antibiotics with the Flagl treatments every few weeks. Olivia is very allergic to antibiotics (have not tried antifungals). I would blame her in-utero exposure, but I have many family members with extreme antibiotic allergies. Poor thing - that is probably why she was born with lizard skin!
Sending someone home without antibiotics and pain meds after such an invasive procedure, especially someone with a weakened immune system, seems beyond stupid. It is uncaring and neglectful!
Especially an 80 year old woman..it is manslaughter.

Welcome! A few hrs on the WA thread and you won't have time to do anything but keep up!
Fast and furious chatting here!
Welcome! A few hrs on the WA thread and you won't have time to do anything but keep up!
My BP is already about 110/70...doc always laughed & said "hey you are just running about a quart low" given the health effects if I had HIGH BP, I felt lucky having low, but also Hashimoto's, Raynaud's and possibly Addison's, it is a wonder I can get out of bed...SUDDENLY I am my own superhero!!!
I have noticed when I have these exposures to gluten & "gut attack" that follows, besides The repeated gut stabs & dermetitus herpetiformis, and head ache, I get bad joint pain where fingers & toes can cramp & lock...ever had repeated cramp in the arch of your foot?
Or fingers you cannot make a fist ?
Just like not only attacking the intestinal lining, the immunal system is also attacking the sonovial joints & brain fluids (BAD headache)
My biggest worry besides the diverticulosis is the strictures that form with celiac disease, and when the gut folds in on itself.((Intercession/interception?/scar tissue/adhesions))..scarey, painful, lifethreatening.
The entire gut forms 'ribs' that look like springs and the entire gut looks as if scalded in boiling water.
No gut bacteria....who knows ?
The immunal system attacks the intestinal lining, the intestinal flora (no fauna!!) should remain intact although have little if any cilia to attach to & survive.
So more careful & paranoid I be...

What if I send you the beads ?
I have TONS of glass lamp beads, and necklace wire w/ends, & clasps and I have TONS of semi precious beads made of rare rocks...yes I am a recovering bead-a-holic & have massive stash here in the wee barn.
I could find the ones I like & ship them to you cheap enough.

I also have crohns and peanuts get me all the time. I have to be careful what I eat.
Have to be very careful. peanuts and cashews would kill me, right now cashews are ok, chew well lol. oatmeal gets me. it was a lot of trial and error to find what was painful and what was not. I also cut all high fructose corn syrup out of my diet, that garbage is in everything...
