my friend i am mushroom hunter from age five....my granmother show me a lot of stuff....and she also cut all the fungi with knife and told me to do so,because of mycelium...but the latest research in mycology shows different thing....mycelium is a largest living organism in the earth..hundreds km belows the ground...a areal network.....does not matter how manny men would pick up the shrooms with roots...u cannot destroy mycelia....if there is proper condition-the mycelium would give a fruit....on all biggest markets-there is strict regulation u know.....in Europe-in ur country...U.K....or Netherlands---wild porcini(Buletus) are always sold with roots...because cutten the mushroom gettin rot too quick and is not proper for sale....what to say about mushroom,which is saprophitic like psylocibe....in other words-if there is condition...there would be shrooms....if there not so many-that means....just someone was ahead of u and was picked up already.....everytime i uproot shroom from the ground......especially shroom that is not mycorhizal...not that some shroomers uprooting shrooms-and there is no shrooms anymore....it's a part of a bigger picture of climate change-all species dissapeared every day month probably....u can't do nothin; about that....nor anybody else
A Fungus on Earth is the biggest living thing ever encounterd. Makes the giant Whale small in comparison.
Afaik its like Apples or Tomatos you can tear em off with a big chance wounding the plant.
Or use their own provided system [the break of point] and take em of without damage.
Shrooms like Roses don t have that a cutting at a certain point, cutting seems next best.
With no experience wild picking. Champignon s and Shitake s are cut.
I am just following the more experienced in the field on this.
Commercial edible/ non psychoactive Shroom farmers.
"..just someone was ahead of u and was picked up already.....
everytime i uproot shroom from the ground......especially shroom that is not mycorhizal..."
Explain, please.
The reason there no Shrooms is no spores/ wrong conditions, nobody picks psychedelic Shrooms here.
Truffles are sold legally.
Uprooting what does that mean relating to shrooms.
Uprooting plants especially Weed or vegetables works very well.
But uprooting a shroom, what does that mean ?
Non Mycorhizal shrooms excist ?
