      geordi-no picking wild mushrooms

      geordi-yes innoculating wild mushrooms

      Also some species are dead easy to recognize, but I do feel a lot more comfortable having first grown them at home

          I have tried cultivating p cubensis outside and had no success. I think it was my innoculum that wasn’t sterile. It’s a really finicky species, I think starting your own culture from agar is the only foolproof method, or try for the uncle Ben tek and get lucky with a clean needle. But it’s definitely not easy. Shiitake is easy.
