Thats a toadstool, not a mushroom technically

Correction… Toadstool is a more common name folklore term.
The correct term is fruiting body of the mushroom. Because the actual mushroom mycelium runs under the foliage and ground, in this case a mycorrhizae fungus called Amanita muscaria. It forms a symbiotic relationship with the oaks that proliferate in the area where I took the photo.
Mushroom mycelium is to a pear tree, like the fruiting bodies are to a pear.

That’s interesting.
In the UK the difference is one you can eat, is a mushroom, and cant eat, is a toadstool. So probably derived from people trying to define toxic and non toxic fungi 
I thought it was the North American, fungi equivalent, of Turtles and Tortoises. As I see everything here called a mushroom, as well as tortoises being called Turtles lol.

ok with your approval it makes things easier
So I guess I can post this very interesting podcast. Part of the bbc4 radio natural histories series. I highly recommend listening.
This episode is dedicated to the Fly Agaric aka Amanita muscaria
This one is about fungi in general.

Thank you. I’m the guy who keeps wanting to break into this but also have a hard time adding anything new in atm. It’s gonna happen. I love podcasts.
Hope all is well @Sebring. I know you must be busy. I hope to get farther along on repairing and updating this house I bought this year so I can get the gardening thing started more serious. I wish I was 25 again. I love this whole organic life. It should be taught to children starting in kindergarten. peace

Agreed. Most kids think food is made at the supermarket. Sad really

I gues it all boils down to necessity… our society as is has no need to resort to that kind of knowledge.
In general what you need is at at arm reach… which then leads to other problems… lack of self satisfaction, ultimately depression.
That’s why it’s so important to work with your hands. You reap what you sow. The satisfaction of collecting your efforts is amazing. I guess that s something that we all share here. Nothing like smoking your own homegrown…
Most people waste food and don’t appreciate their ingredients because they don’t realise what went into rearing the animal or efforts to keep a crop.
It’s all expendable. Easy comes easy goes

Maestro @Sebring, can you help this OG’er out with some 1:1(8-10% ea) seeds or point me at someone? (I checked the website but it looks like almost everything’s out-o-stock) .
I’ve got a selfied Blue Shark CBD germinated but not much else CBD-wise. The Charlotte’s Angel I tried @Meesh’s was great blended 50/50 with non-CBD strains.

Probably. PM me details and I’ll send something that should be close.

And today I got my seeds from you via @MomOnTheRun and @Gaz29 ! It only took two packages, several months and two proxies to get them into the country! 
I’m very happy we got a seed exchange completed! Thanks a lot! 
(For the record, several months because the first package got lost or stolen, the second came with the winter box to avoid customs. Not Sebring’s fault it took so long and I really appreciate he sent a second one)

Wow man, the site looks incredibly great. It’s really grown. You have a hell of a seed
collection now too.
I gotta go back and read it all. It has a nice unassuming and calm type vibe with nice photos and layout. Peace
