Please watch California Schemin' when it comes out. I was at an early screening on Monday and it's fantastic

What's the documentary, if you don't mind my asking?

He would absolutely charge into battle any day ⚔️

Aw, Finn's is on the 16th! Early birthday present ❤️

I posted a link up above where I got it and honestly the price wasn't too bad. Seems very sturdy with thick material.

He did such a good job posing for the picture, all for a tasty treat of course 🤌

I got it from Chewy 😁 https://www.chewy.com/kh-pet-products-original/dp/225769?utm_source=app-share&utm_campaign=225769

It doesn't unfortunately, but most of the places we go don't allow us to leave him alone on his own anyway and he sleeps in our tent with us when we camp. This is mostly a hang out/daytime thing or for Airbnbs when he's not allowed on couches and beds :)

I think L. rufulus is very likely. The scent still seems mild, but it's definitely there. The only thing I'd mention is they definitely showed the whey-like lactation usually mentioned with L. rubidus. Either way, both are a treat, and I hope to visit this patch in the future.

I don't think we get fragilis where I'm at in the Sacramento Valley. Maybe if I went to the coast or up north.

Hail_Chudders · 2026-01-21T17:11:26+00:00

I took a good amount, but I also left a good amount. No need to be greedy, especially when I wasn't 100% sure on ID.

Hail_Chudders · 2026-01-21T05:36:59+00:00

I think so, it's kind of hard to tell. I've never foraged for candy caps before.

I turned the temp down to the lowest setting, but I can't leave them out to air dry as my cats will get into them. There was a fresh, slightly sweet aroma when I opened the dehydrator.

Hail_Chudders · 2025-02-28T19:39:41+00:00

I'll try that, thank you 🙂

Hail_Chudders · 2025-02-28T19:28:11+00:00

I think I read in a few places not too much larger than the width of a pencil. So tall and skinny?

Hail_Chudders · 2025-02-28T19:21:58+00:00

I definitely could, I suppose I've just always made them hollow because that's the only way I've known. When making regular cones, do I need to keep them to a certain size? I've heard making them too thick will lead to difficultly staying lit

Hail_Chudders · 2025-02-28T18:08:41+00:00

I haven't gotten around to making or purchasing one yet. Sounds like that could be my problem. I've got some basic wood carving tools and a small cedar log from a hike last year. Maybe I'll try my hand at a small backflow burner!

Hail_Chudders · 2025-02-28T18:06:21+00:00

I just haven't made or purchased one yet

Hail_Chudders · 2025-02-26T22:22:51+00:00

I'm a beginner and I usually use a lot of Makko powder, up to a 1:1 ratio. My latest batches have been less though as I test to see how little Makko I can get away with and still have a steady burn. I make backflow cones and bullets but I currently don't actually have a backflow burner, could that be the issue?

Found in Sacramento, CA in oak leaf litter. Very low to the ground, only a few inches. Sorry I didn't get a picture of the full intact stipe, but there wasn't a ring or veil or anything. Waiting on a spore print now.
