Even when serving my country, I spent more time in the wild than I did encampments. I love the woods and would be like a fish out of water anywhere else. My wife is from Mass and while I do know what you speak of, there are plenty of Mass people who are not like that. They just need to slow down and take it easy when they come to Vermont. To most locals up here, unless you run a business, we don't care about your money but we are interested in the people. I tell those who visit here to get out to a church picnic or bbq and meet the locals, rather than hit ostentagious highlights of a state. We are the flatlanders now in Nova Scotia where my wife and I own property. They call us CFA, "come from away".  I take no offense.

RE: found gold in the woods - 6/3/2007 9:03:31 PM    SergioWilkins   Posts: 63 Joined: 4/18/2006 Status: offline Did manage to find a hefty cache this spring... actually larger than any we've ever encountered before! My neighbour was good enough to tip us off as to the whereabouts. Here are some photos of just some of the beauties. They probably numbered somewhere around 4 dozen, and were on average the size of a fist! Many larger!

RE: found gold in the woods - 6/4/2007 4:50:07 AM    epgorge Posts: 2422 Joined: 12/29/2006 Status: offline Wow Sergio, Nice find. What a batch. They are elusive little buggers aren't they? They do like to hide. Is that an Elm tree they are under? Great eating!!! When you check the upload button, look next to it and you will see "insert in post" or something like that... just click it and your picture will be imbedded in the post. < Message edited by epgorge -- 6/4/2007 4:51:32 AM > _____________________________ (in reply to SergioWilkins) Post #: 26

RE: found gold in the woods - 5/26/2008 11:06:09 PM    SergioWilkins   Posts: 63 Joined: 4/18/2006 Status: offline  Managed to score a few more of these this spring while insulator hunting! Sitting well in my stomach as I type this! And, yes, I believe it was an elm those ones were growing under. Strange, as they normally grow near poplars around here. All the best!

RE: found gold in the woods - 5/27/2008 10:24:15 AM    Stardust Posts: 821 Joined: 10/5/2007 Status: offline   Sergio, Really Nice Find!!!   "There is Fungus Amougus" Pics are quite lovely. I love nature and the woods. Thanks for sharing as I wish I was in the woods walking right now... Those pics took me there for just a little while and made me smile. : ) Nice to see others enjoying good old mother earth. Now just stay away from the Morning Glory seeds...... or watch or your teens on this one that's just reapeared.   I heard and read that they can get you really sick from trying this old trick for a high. Wouldn't be surprised if they ban the selling of them. I don't know why the media releases these things to educate the parents or teach the kids what to do. I thought this was something new, took my kid to tell me this has been going on forever. The things our kids teach us. ~Stardust~ < Message edited by Stardust -- 6/11/2008 9:14:58 AM > _____________________________ YouTube - The Story of Cinderella http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g0ucno0rUZw YouTube - Right Now. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LpNoxKzEEvw Blessings & Love, star* (in reply to cowseatmaize) Post #: 29

RE: found gold in the woods - 5/27/2008 12:34:51 PM    epgorge Posts: 2422 Joined: 12/29/2006 Status: offline Sergio, It looks like you have a normal or higher than normal water table wherever you are. Our morels are really dry this year and go by quickly by wooding up. Stardust, Mushrooms aren’t anything to mess around with unless you know what you are eating. Psychedlic mushrooms are the least of anyone’s problem. They have been around since midevil days, used in witchcraft, etc.. Mushrooms also have, we are coming to find out, health and medicinal value, just like they are realizing canabis (pot) has medicinal value. There are mushrooms out there which effect your nervous system and will terminate your life functions quickly. There is one we shouldn’t even touch as it is strong enough to be ingested through the skin. My knowledge of hunting edible mushrooms comes from my grandfather, passed on from his grandfather, … you get the picture. I find shrooms I think are edible but wouldn’t dare eat them. I don’t know them intimately, so I stay away from them. Do be careful not to pick a false morel. Know the difference or don't eat them. They look like  brains protruding out of the ground. They are most delicious. I have even heard those who dislike mushrooms say they are most delicious. They have an almondy flavor and when cooked slowly in butter, they get a buttery, crunchy flavor/tecture. I hope you get the chance to try some, sometime.

RE: found gold in the woods - 5/27/2008 1:47:59 PM    Stardust Posts: 821 Joined: 10/5/2007 Status: offline   epgorge, I love mushrooms, but I would be too afraid too try anything I would find on my own. My mom always drilled in my head, " never eat a mushroom you find in the woods." Your's do look good and I do understand and I'm not looking for anything to play around with my nervous system., believe me. Thanks for sharing the info. I'm glad you know what you are doing and you are able to enjoy. May you have a wonderful day with your gold found in the woods.  ~Stardust~ _____________________________ YouTube - The Story of Cinderella http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g0ucno0rUZw YouTube - Right Now. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LpNoxKzEEvw Blessings & Love, star* (in reply to epgorge) Post #: 31

RE: found gold in the woods - 6/12/2008 9:10:56 PM    SergioWilkins   Posts: 63 Joined: 4/18/2006 Status: offline That is a haul! Good finds! Yes, we didn't have a particularly wet spring this year, but here in South-West Ontario we tend to get a lot of rain in general, so the water table is pretty high most anywhere you go! This particular area was surrounded on all sides by water-filled ditches, with poplars growing nearby. The high banks along the railroad tracks were just covered in this wrinkly beauties! All the best! (in reply to ravinedigger) Post #: 35
