 Price gouging would not be possible in a true capitalist system. 

The only way a business could price gouge is if they were a monopoly. 

The only way monopolies can exist in this world is leveraging the fulcrum that the monopoly on violence (government) provides. 
 If we truly want Peace, foremost, all weapons must be destroyed. 
 I can use a tree branch as a weapon, or a rock 
 Maybe, but humans naturally do not want a fair fight lol 

They want to risk as little as possible, so they will make better weapons to potentially defend themselves 
 Do you people shower EVERY day or nah?

 Does anyone have a referral link or discount code for a Jade wallet? #asknostr 
 I’m a tech normie lolz, I’m not sure what you’re suggesting here 
 Ahhh gotcha. 

The cold card is a little too pricey at the moment. Also, because I’m so tech illiterate I want to try out multiple wallets. 

I’m also too paranoid to keep everything in one place 
 Thank you for the suggestions. I’ve got sparrow wallet, haven’t played around with it much though. 

I’ve got lots of learning to do!

 Check out a dryads saddle, they have my favorite pore pattern 
 First attempt at salting mushrooms. 

Chanterelles, Berkeley’s Polypore & 1 peppery milk cap for spice in here https://image.nostr.build/af85e40fa501539ef18b5c4b2e61823273d8dc7a0f77398cc21148fe1eb3af10.jpg  
 Also a bay leaf, a sprig of thyme & garlic. 

It’s meant to be eaten with salads, charcuterie. Probably would be good with anything sauerkraut would pair with.

Apparently the Slavs like to eat these straight with a bottle of vodka 

I’ll let you know in a week or two how they are 
 The polypore seemed firm, not sure how the chanterelles will turn out. They felt a lil mushy 
 Hmm looks like it could be an amanita, but I admittedly don’t know much about them 

Beautiful mushy 
 Lolz eat em! 
 This book lists the common Roman snail, brown garden snail & giant African land snail as edible species 

Helix pomatia, Helix aspera & Achatina achatina 
 GM nostr folk & Happy Saturday! 

Any bolete experts out there? I’m trying to determine the species here, but boletes are so difficult. 

Pores are a very light pink color, cap solid brown. Stem has slight netting where fertile surface meets the stem, white stem fades to a deep purple near the base. No cutting reactions, nor slicing reactions, mushroom does bruise reddish/brown after a few hours. Taste (taste & spit) is a mild nutty flavor. Spore print is also brownish/reddish.

Mushroom was growing near the forest edge on the ground around a few large maples & poplars.

 Ha I’m literally on that website right now! And yeah it passes all my edibility filters, gonna try a bite in a minute 
 Hmmm it could be that. It’s either that or boletus separans, I think. The only thing that doesn’t quite match on the tylopilus is the stem color

 Specific types of cattle farming have negative environmental impacts, but cattle grown in properly rotated silvopasture systems are net beneficial for the environment 
 I hope you’re not serious 
 Good morning 🐸 
 We had that yesterday (central sc), it’s just a bunch of light rain. Have a great day! 
 Gm world 
 GM Dan Wedge happy Friday 
 I did not, the wife would love those! 

I see chanterelles, russulas, amanitas, indigo milkies, maybe some boletes 
 Deal, shutup & take my sats. 

@Skick , @OrangeMan are also fellow mushroom folk

 Oh yeah, but I know I’m early on my journey. I wholeheartedly believe in the 10,000 hour rule. 

Some art requires 10,000 hours in multiple categories.

Is smoking for adults like a pacifier for a baby? 

#weedstr #smokestr #nomames  
 I don’t think it has to be, I just like switching up my consciousness states 
 The black spotted clay one actually looks like an ‘old man of the woods’, a species of boletes - a good edible too 
 Jealous you’ve found indigo milkies, my dream find 
 Oh yeah, I’ve never tried them cause I’ve never found them but they’re supposed to be choice edibles 
 Voting is immoral. 
 Yes, choice is crucial. Voluntarism

 I’ve only ever made tea out of them. It’s apparently good for you, but it tastes like a foot 
 Awesome. 
 O hell yeah are those called electuaries? I’ve always wanted to make those 
 Yeah I’ve only read about them. I think if they’re made solid it’s an electuary 

I thought it might would be a good way to get people at the farmers market to actually buy something medicinal 
 Thanks I might do that! 

You should get a lighting wallet set up so we can zap you my friend

 I’ve only had it a few times but escargot is so good. 

I thought about making a snail farm but there is almost no information on growing them that I could find easily. Plus I was afraid they’d eat my cultivated mushrooms too much 
Event not found
 Ugh that should be huge news, doesn’t even seem believable
