I would call it like a mid/low rareness, i feel like alot of the ones considered rarer like 1-2 years ago got tissue cultured/ grown out enough to sell now which bumped down their trophy status

Albos, vurracossum, as well as some Anthuriums which would have been a lot harder to find back then ive seen in some Nurserys/garden centers unexpectedly

I check in with plant youtubers/insta for trends tho now my tastes are a bit more specific

Agreed, tho i feel like vw bus iconography leans more towards a hippy symbol than the actual Volkswagen brand

i NEED this pit

It might be diffrent depending on who you ask, ive heard that u can kinda tell by rubbing them around ur gums, super bitter/spicy its bad - i dont think id eat a bit of them, some types take a few days to show signs, like ik that for some people some coral mushrooms can upset their stomachs but it effects them 2-3 days later…

Personally i dont do either of these methoods, the easiest way is by looking up id guides online, they give descriptions as well as if theres any look alikes… all you gotta look up is “your region + forageable mushrooms” which should give you a good list of whats in your area or what to look for, i do agree with being 100% sure on an id before eating tho

As someone who forages there are plenty of safe , easy to identify, and way better tasting mushrooms that are in the wild; obviously do your research and make sure your alowed to forage on the lands etc

This talk puts people off of foraging when again is easy to get into, its free, and can be fun/productive activity when your outside ( again as well as supper yummy,store bought stuff cannot beat chicken/hen/lions mane at all)

Anything to let them keep holding power lol
