Macrolepiota rachodes

Bobcat · 11-04-06, 17:00

Just going through some of my memory cards and postin pics..... I wanted to show this one cause it may be my favorite of the season. Well, that I'll be posting anyway!

It was a Macrolepiota rachodes and it was tasty! Note the reddish bruised cut on its stalk. Looks like it hurt! This was actually one of a troop, but its setting under a conifer bush was just right.

I tried to take prints but messed them up. Very wet. Luckily a very nice person was able to hook me up with spores of one of their finds. THANKS MASON!!!!!!!

Stamets says these are good candidates for stem butt cultivation au natural! I experimented and threw some in various lawn and garden clippings/compost beds.... We'll see next year I guess. He also says not all strains taste the same. I find that weird. But mine tasted good. Nutty. So whatever.

I think I'll keep it for an avatar for november! An ode to Fall!

Nice Bobcat, nature is awsome!

Very nice, bob! I found a few of these a couple of weeks ago. I have a print and as soon as I get that baby going I'll send you part of it if ya want.

So do you have a good tek?

Bobcat · 11-06-06, 15:00

Cool Dial8! Sure thing! Lemme know if you still need my addy. Boy, I owe you one! Or two, lol! I don't got a tek unfortunately. But I think, based on what I've read of them, that they would thrive in a Poo/BRF cake like Waylit uses. I'm just a real big fan of that tek. That's the direction Im going to go anyway. So I guess we'll see!

I have actually had a bit of difficulty finding working teks on this species. They just don't seem to be talked about much. I wonder why. Same with the parasol species too.

Well, Stamets says they like complex compost pile like environment and that he personally continues his outdoor beds with green grass clippings. So my thinking is that green grass = high nitrogen. Well, high enough that standard prepared hpoo won't hurt them. They'll certainly like the grains and the verm will lend to the moisture content. Hpoo always looks a lot like green compost to me anyway. Leaves, twigs, stones, wood shavings and what ever is in there seems close enough to me anyway.

Well, thats my logic for why the pan cyan tek will work.

That is a nice lookin' shroom. Too bad the only shroom I've ate that I enjoyed the taste of was morel. Those will put a hurt on your pocket book. lol Thanks for sharing.

The actual name of these was changed a while ago, which I knew but somehow forgot. Musta been a "brain-fart"... doh! Anyhoo these are actually called Chlorophylum rachodes- which is the same genus as the poisonous look-a-like Chlorophylum molybdites or Green Gilled/Spored Lepiota.

Just out of curiosity, what all kinds of edibles have you tried I_am_me? I bet we could figure out quite a few you would like!
