[@gogorth1936]

Spores are already dispersed by the time you get to them so this is pointless.

[@hepatitisc5535]

surely the fungus already sporulates before you arrive, they break veils literally in a few hours and with a little wind they already fly away

[@angelcosta4383]

But the residual spores stuck in the mushroom have a little chance to be carried around in the basket and fall somewhere else to the ground. And some mushrooms are picked before they truly open like shaggy ink caps and champignons

I did some research on this several years ago. If you yank the mushroom up, you sever the "branch" it's on, thereby cutting off the rest of the "apples" from the main trunk (sclerotium). It's the sclerotium that survives from year to year, so breaking the branches won't hurt the important part of the fungus, but it will stop that branch from producing any more morels that year.

Unfortunately with morels they have to build up pressure to shoot their spores out, they don't just drop them like gilled mushrooms do, so its unlikely they will be able to release any after you pick them. That's why it's best to leave some number in an area where you harvest them from.

[@Rodrik18]

​@@AnimilesYTyes, we have caused extinction of many creatures through exploitation... but this really doesnt apply to mushrooms since the organism itself is the mycelium that remains in the substrate. We dont disturb and harvest the dirt around mushrooms when collecting them and not all kinds of mushroom do well via cultivation. It is impractical to clearcut the region while harvesting certain kinds of mushrooms (such as truffles and LARGELY morels) arent easily cultivated. Cultivaged fungi are kind of like livestock in that the specific individuals only exist because of our intervention, and as such it is both in our interest to maintain their population and health. UNLIKE livestock, however, mushrooms dont tend to overlap with useable land. We may very well cut down forests or such, but an individual mushroom organism requires less land than an individual, say, cow. Consider how much land a cow needs to graze at a healthy level, how much water they need to drink/have access to. Mushrooms CAN take up very large spaces, but they dont impact human uses of space.

Its better to leave the stumps cut than to pluck them and damage the mycelial network. Mainly because when that stump decays the mycelium will grow all over it, promoting further spreading of the mycelium field. And also the underground mycelium can transfer nutrients to and from different trees, the mycelium has a symbiotic relationship with the trees, and other plants in that area as well. It will actually “sense” for lack of a better word, which plants need nutrients from the soil and substrates it is running through and then can feed extra nutrients to the plants that need it. Kinda neat

The breathable bag tip was cool

Yeah, i never knew why, but in Latvia, where picking mushrooms is a nation-wide activity in the fall, I was always taught to use a knife and not to pluck the shrooms. Never looked into why.

Here in eastern Kentucky we call them hickory chickens, They're very sought after because of the sell price and how they taste. We usually soak them in water over night, coat them in flour, fry them and eat them

Kinda impressed with how accurate Stardew got them since it’s usually hard to get a lot of detail in a small pixel design

. E and my grandparents used to go picking marels every year when they were around and we had a total of like 10 spots way out in the woods where we would crush up the long stemmed mushrooms and spread them around year after year. We basically built our own spore growing operation and man was it worth it.

The breathable container is genius

[@adamkluckner3429]

We forage wild brown morels in our area and we don't pull the base out of the ground not because of some confusion that mushrooms are plants but because we have seen when we cover the base back up occasionally you'll get another mushroom growing from the same spot whereas if you pull the mycelium clump it has to reform before it can fruit again

I’ve always thought slicing was to keep the stem of the mushroom from splitting, which is really easy to do it you pick them

It's funny because stress is actually one of the activators for fruiting Morales. Easily one of the most interesting mushrooms duet just how complex and interdependent it is with the entire forest. Not just the trees or even seasons but like all sorts of micro events add up to making them be able to fruit which is why they can't be commercially farmed economically.

lol gotta love the experts warning you to protect the "mushroom roots"

[@cathpalug1221]

I can't believe it's 2023 and people still think mushroom have roots like plant

People forget that the part with the cap is the spore releaser. You actually WANT to take it off so it can release more spores everywhere you walk with it

[@RoxxyFly]

Morels are DELICIOUS! We used an old onion bag to help spread the spores!

[@scottschroeder4920]

Yum, my favorite! Almost season in N Idaho 😊
