 I’ve found 3 Berkeley’s Polypore mushrooms this year. The last one I found I cooked & canned it into a saltwater brine w/ thyme. I thought it was very good, but the wife didn’t like it.  

I think I’ll do another salt brine, maybe I’ll add elm leaves to this batch

 I don’t know I’ve only ever thrown them in broths. I’ve got a gut feeling they’d be good with this. Rosemary would also work I think 
 I do a lot of research before eating a wild mushroom for the first time, usually 2-3 hours. When I’m confident, I only eat a small amount & wait at least a day to be sure I don’t have a weird allergy

I’ve also taken a class in my local area on easy edible mushrooms, but more importantly, the poisonous ones. There are only a few that will kill you (in my area) and I know them all by heart. Quite a few can make you sick, those are more numerous than deadly mushrooms 
 Winged elm (ulmus alata), it adds that leafy earthiness. Kinda hard to explain - it tastes much like the leaf smells, your breath is forest air 
 Lolz, I think mushrooms naturally wanna be paired with tree leaves. Dunno how I’ve never thought of that. 

Maybe me eating a salted version of this exact mushroom everyday the last few days, then finding another one that is of the same mycelium (on the same tree) is making it speak to me ??? 
 I’ve never heard of the genus, I’ll look into that. I want to travel to southeastern China so bad, I know they have so much stuff that can probably grow here that I don’t know about! 

I actually haven’t eaten many tree leaves though, really only the elm. Even then I used them like bay leaves. 

I have heard that the paper mulberry, & basswood (linden) have decent edible leaves. I have eaten devils walking stick shoots (aralia spinosa), those are really good with asparagus 
 I’ve heard they’re good to use like a banana leaf in cooking. Wrapping food up 
 Oh okay I actually have attempted to plant that before, had no luck with the seeds germinating. I’ll have to try again 
 That’s very Mediterranean of you

 Yep, gonna harvest 6 this year 
 Yeah I’m tired of paying 40 bucks just for a skinning 
 This was a pretty easy build, about $350 
 I think I can legally kill 5, but my entire family gets tags so we can harvest around 20 if we needed to 
 I’m an amateur, self taught construction man - don’t trust myself for that lolz 
 No idea, the #shroomstriches gave you some good pointers though. Those look a little young as well. 

My guess though would be some sort of parasol out in that grass

 Time & adoption is needed. A conversion rate is required atm, but once there is wide adoption people will start pricing in satoshis. I’d be willing to bet the value won’t fluctuate nearly as much either

 I don’t know, apparently it happens around 4 times a year. Seems to be no good explanation for it either 
 I agree. It’s improper wording for sure. 

That’s not what happens though, apparently it’s some sort of natural phenomenon that seems to be unexplained

 Maybe the soil is hydrophobic? That happens a lot with house plants, trick is don’t water until the soil is complete dry up to your first knuckle in your finger. 

Water thoroughly when you do water though 

To remedy hydrophobic soil, set the potted plant in a bucket of water (filled about halfway up the pot) for a day or two

 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.

 Yeah only boletes can you do that with
