here's a graun thing about mushroom foraging. i skipped past the non-mushroom paragraphs but i think maybe the mushrooms killed him? something like that

anyway (yellow) chanterelle season is slowly and mournfully coming to a close, most of them i find have some damage from freezing. I've found serious quantities of them this year though, around 20 litres or so at least, and my freezer is full. Literally full, i need to eat a box of mushrooms every time I'm out picking, or they just won't fit it's crazy

boletes are coming strong now. I'm very particular with them since they've often got larvae, so I only pick the cutest little chubby ones, like these



well, would you walk past them? :3: sooo cute. also easy to clean and preserve when you pick the best shrooms: just scrape off the dirt, check for larva holes and cut off any damaged parts, then pop them whole in the freezer. they can also be frozen in slices, or dried

also Craterellus species are coming to life now, close relatives to the chanterelle. I made a big huge discovery just yesterday: my first somewhat significant find of C. Cornucopioides,


well camouflaged among withered oak leaves. I've been out to the oak woods a bunch of times before without finding a single horn so they were a very welcome surprise! one of the very best food shrooms by all accounts

pics aren't of my finds btw i'm not much of a photographer

Because you can learn to identify edible varieties and they're free, also buying chanterelles is probably very expensive.

Also if you find magic ones that's presumably a benefit.

Yes, under our current system of capitalism and property ownership, having access to fat stacks of cash does have a genetic component.

All fungi are edible. Some fungi are only edible once.

Fortunately we've had a few millennia of people finding this out the hard way and have gotten really good at mycology. But don't do it unless you are good or have someone good with you.

People definitely eat mushrooms.

If you have "foraged" 20 kilos and filled your freeze, stop before you gently caress it all up and bemoan that things aren't like the time you picked every mushroom you came across one autumn like the fishermen who complain that they trawled the entire estuary themselves and took 1000 tons in a day and they've never had a day like it but they're not sure why

I guess hes seen May and Johnson doing it and thats not a great advert for the role. I suppose the two options are hes lolling to himself thinking well turns out any fucker can half arse this and get away with it, no worries. Or hes thinking gently caress this job looks impossible, gently caress that, ill make some jam instead.

It was Jakabite (spelling mat be wrong, they had a Life of Brian avatar though) and I'll be as careful as I can because I've got this wrong in the past too, but they said they were off to watch the Olympic Torch relay with either a fire extinguisher or a water balloon and got a talking-to by local Plod with suspicious speed.

That goonlore has got it turned into a mass-shooting and marathon-bombing threat is quite remarkable.

Incidentally are both Sands and Laughdrury part of Trevor Bastard's far-too-fertile brain or are they just fellow-travellers? Laughdrury seems a bit too unsubtle and specific a parody of Jolyon Maugham to be a Grannymugger thing, but just as many people seem to fall for it.

I have a personality and/or mind which disposed me fairly well to academia. Until my mental wellbeing faltered, I found it easy to not only do well in uni, but generally be at or near the top of the class; I found it enjoyable, satisfying, and enriching to do uni work, I was a swot who did extra reading and handed things in ahead of their due date and etc. etc.. Now, let's allow this is all due to some kind of inherent genetic factor, that it's a natural and immutable part of me, and the role of environment and circumstances is minimal at best. Why, then, did I end up doing my undergrad at a regular middle-of-the-road university? Because of my class and access to resources. If I'd been born to money and a prestigious family, I'd have gone through private schools and ended up at one of the top unis in the country (And thus world) with minimal effort unless I was truly, truly excerable academically speaking. Instead I had to work extremely hard at it for years to claw my way up from a mid-tier ex-polytechnic to a fairly well-regarded uni for my postgrad and I was on a tight budget that entire time, I was largely able to do well at undergrad because I lived at home and thus the monetary pressures were under control, when I moved away for my Master's that poo poo got rough in a real hurry and it definitely contributed to my declining mental health that eventually meant I fell out of not just academia, but any prospect of work, entirely.

I wonder if having an easy route into a well-regarded uni backed up by never having to worry about money because mummy and daddy are quite well off would have possibly led to different outcomes in my life :thunk:
