rubber gloves & tarp but should I bother with lysol on the gloves?

No need for any sterile procedures I've used plastic grocery bags before, and fill up one or two bags to the brim and carry them out.

And i don't think it is a "stupid" idea like mj says

I don't think it's necessarily a "greedy" idea either, but i do believe that taking shroom-patties out of a shroom-field does in fact have a slightly negative impact on future shroom growth, especially if done too often or if taking too many patties away from a field.

Also, for the whole thing to work you will need to actually find patties with shrooms (cubes/copes) growing from them, so then you will know which patties are colonized with the correct mycelium. First find the shrooms, then pick the shrooms and put them in your bag, then tear that beautiful patty up from the ground a put that into a seperate bigger bag and so-on. When you get the pies home put them under a bush, or a shady area (bushes seem to work best), and it helps to also have a outdoor water hose nearby with a fine mist nozzle on it, so you can spray the bush down every day or-so..you spray the bush not directly on the shroom-patties.
-Usually with that method you can get another 1 or 2 more small flushes of shrooms from the patties. But, had you of just left them in the field than the patties might have produced 3 or 4 more decent flushes. Also, with the transplant method, it seems that other coprophilus mushrooms such as Panaeolus or Coprinus mushrooms will also get an upperhand in competeing for the shroom-pie; and normally in the field (had you of just left the pattie there) than for the most part the patties tend to just have one species grow on them at once.

PS, there's no real need to eat the shrooms in the shroom-field; first of all it will sorta space you out and you need a clear head to pick shrooms (especially if you're sneaking around on someones private property), and secondly theoretically you are already 'shroomin' just being out there picking mushrooms and picking them and experiencing them even without eating them. Its best to wait until you're out of the field, usually, before you munch anything.
