Sweet. You may find the 18" bar is a bit big for most of your uses. Unless your felling huge trees, I'd go to a 16" bar. More control, less weight, more power. Just a thought; the shop will exchange to a 16" for free.

I don't have any shaggy manes here...after Nick's post, I wish I did. We went for a mushroom walk yesterday and barely saw anything...yet they are all over my lawn. Funny how nature works.

Fire starters for emergency if needed. Do you carry anything?

I bought a magnesium block for spark and I have some dried chaga mushroom as tinder. That stuff holds a spark very well. -
They tasted great and I'll eat them again. Cooked for about 5 mins in the frying pan with salt + pepper, they are quite soft and meaty with just enough flavor. We ate them with deer and homeamade Rowanberry Jelly. Google 'blewit burrito' and watch the video, I did this tonight so I can grow them from leaf litter and mulch.

Yup, that'll beat the winter blues!

Yup, brutal. Although I have no higher expectations for any other current political party...maybe the Greens, since they haven't screwed up yet, at least they haven't had a change to screw up yet.

Wow! Good job Daddy and Daughter.

Welcome. Have fun!

I bet they watch the nature channel! I'm hesitant for winter this year as its my first year owning property...it'll be nothing like the easy days at the Condo.
-
Wow, that was easily the worst thing I've ever seen. I'm thinking of cancelling my internet service at home now.

Here is a photo of the spore print I took. It turned out the tan/beige/pink I had hoped for. Cooking them tonight. EHG, I hear you about the Boletes, haven't found one that is bug-free yet.

I'm taking a spore print of it right now...basically just cut the stem, place the cap on a white piece of paper and wait overnight then inspect the color it leaves behind. One of the most reliable ways of identifying a wild mushroom... although a microscope would be better. Hoping I see a tan/beige color print from the Blewit.

I found these on my lawn and based on my research I believe they are blewit's. Apparently Blewits vary in color; these ones are light pink and have all the other visual/anatomical cues. There doesn't seem to be any "false blewits" that very-closely resemble a true Blewit. Any thoughts? These are Golden Coral mushrooms, not recommended for eating (but not poisonous). These guys look really cool! A Fly Agaric with Golden Corals in the background I haven't researched these two species yet... they easily caught my eye through the dense spruce/balsam forest.

Beady-eyed beauty. When it comes to bass, I definitly have a soft spot for largies! Good job, hope there's more for you before the season ends.

Because you've posted 323 times? And you haven't washed your box in a while?

The Feds just changed the medical laws so that authorized medical users cannot grow their own on their own property, you now need to buy it from large-scale producers and get it delivered by courrier. And now they have to smoke it and cannot buy brownies or other means that are less harmful to lungs. Nice open market eh? That's for medical laws, not sure about the personal side of things... I know its 'decriminalized' to some degree. -
That's quite the good looking rock on your lease. Daaaamn! Sweet fish too. that trout easily weights more than all the lake trout I've ever caught.

Ha! A bass' favorite drink

Funny you say that, my wife's favorite green tea is genmaicha. Apparently the rice in the tea was originally used as a filler in times of austerity or when green tea was in short supply. We eat a lot of that PC AG bread as well. A squirrels favorite.

I made some Highbush Cranberry jam and put it on toast, a tasty accomplishment

Morals are only in the spring. But there are several other mushrooms that are in season right now. No. but for the most part yes. The good thing about puffballs is that most of them (if not all) are non-poisonous. The indibility of some of them is because it would be like eating dust or wood chips and other times it's because they are rotting. The ones you see that are bright white, and fairly small, usually in clusters in the grass or on old stumps, they are edible and good to eat. Just make sure that they are white and meaty thoughout the puffball, otherwise it'll be gross and basically rotten. I brought one home the other day that was green inside...yuck.
