Oregon is the only state to have legalized them. California has two cities: Santa Cruz (shocking, I know) and Oakland. Surprisingly, Berzerkeley (which borders on Oakland) and SF haven’t. I've grown shiitake, maitake, lion’s mane and oyster mushrooms. I grew them on birch chips, which is similar. I’ve been on a forage outing, back when we got some of that… what did you call? Rain? That’s water falling out of the sky, right? Anyway, we found a few edible varieties: russula and boletes, mainly. One person found lion’s mane and witch’s butter. when I worked at the winery, the enolgist was a forager, and had his secret chanterelle spots. He gave me some candy caps once, which smell and taste like maple syrup. Wild mushroom cookies were a definite potluck hit. Good for them (Oregon). I couldn't care less if people want to eat hallucinogenic mushrooms. And I don't want my tax dollars to go to persecuting or imprisoning them. Oakland apparently makes the inane distinction between consuming 'shrooms (legal) and selling them (illegal). I guess you have to grow your own? Easier said than done for most people. On the plus side, we get to enjoy stories like this.... I agree with the sentiment re the war on drugs. You would think that we would have learned our lesson with alcohol prohibition. Ha ha ha. “Weird laws” would be an entertaining thread, but would probably get cave-worthy quickly. |

The article begs for this What stood out to me was his half-hearted attempt to incorporate some mushrooms into this priestly garb. Judging by his costume, he was more of a marijuana shaman until selling shrooms became big business. |

Btw, National mushroom day (the kind you put in food) is 15 October The "other one" appears to be 920. Hmm. I wonder how they came up with that |

Tomorrow, Sept 19, is International Talk Like a Pirate Day!  International Talk Like a Pirate Day is a parodic holiday created in 1995 by John Baur (Ol' Chumbucket) and Mark Summers (Cap'n Slappy), of Albany, Oregon, U.S., who proclaimed September 19 each year as the day when everyone in the world should talk like a pirate. An observer of this holiday would greet friends not with "Hello, everyone!" but with "Ahoy, maties!" or "Ahoy, me hearties!" The holiday, and its observance, springs from a romanticized view of the Golden Age of Piracy. From Wiki |

Damn, sorry I'm.......late.  Funny story about that particular holiday. I receive emails from AS&S (American Scientific and Surplus) just about everyday with their specials. I mean, who doesn't like surplus? They also like to use "holidays" in their promotions. I don't even recall what the holiday was, maybe it was "Talk Like a Pirate Day?" Anyway, I sent an email to them pointing out that they had gotten the date wrong for that, they had missed it by a week! So I mentioned the Be Late Something Day. They loved that, and said I was the only person to catch that error. Said they'd be sure to use that one next year. |
