I was woundering, If you were out hunting in the old-growth and you found an agaricon fully mature and you were lucky enough to find it in arms reach would you take it home. The reason i ask is i found a very mature one atleast a foot and a half by two feet easy i could have yanked it but i left it. was i in the rite knowing this conk is rare almost extink in the UK and exclusive to the old growth to leave it. would i have been stupid to take it and find someone to sell it to

Yes, leave it. You can easily take a scalpel and cut a tiny piece out of the fleshy part on the bottom and bring it home to clone on agar. They mycelium on agaricon has all the benefits of the conks, so there's no need to pick an endangered species.
When they get picture uploading fixed, I'll post an F officinalis mrs rabbit and I found last fall. I'm waiting for the snow to melt in that area and I'll go back with some tree climbing gear and grab a clone. RR

Wish I had hulk legs so i could kick an old growth snag bigger than i could reach around down imagine how far i could kick all those B.U.M. mushies, across the field maybe. JKQuote:

That DUDE is Paul Stamets the guy wrote all your favorite hunting guides like "psilocybin mushies of the world". I am sure he picked that mushie to make sterile culture. He has cultured over 30 rare strains of Argaricon. The mycelium in which was found active against 6 strains of influenza an inoculation for smallpox and a cure for three different strains of T.B. previously incurable. Quote:

I think not!
