The Scent of trouble?
    #10444884 - 06/02/09 10:49 PM (14 years, 10 months ago)

Stupid question about hunting, but heh, who else would ask it? Couldn't find anything after searching posts for the last 2 hours. So, I've heard of people who when hunting "hear" or "feel" where to look. I'm sure you've heard it before. How about the scent? I go walk every day on my lunch by a pond, lots of leaves, rotten wood, bark dust and wood chips. I swear every time I get with in 30 yards, (or 27.43200 meters) I can smell something that reminds me of mushrooms, that sweet rotting leaf smell, so today I followed my nose, witch put me smack dab in the center of a bunch of blackberry vines, ... that shreded me all to hell, and left some nice little stickers over my ass that I didnt find till I got back to work and sat down!!:pottymouth:. I did indeed find a batch of mushrooms, not active or edible, but mushrooms non the less. Could this just be an odd coincidence? Does anyone out there have any special "sense" they use to hunt? I'm hoping it'll get better then that, I'm still pickin stickers outta my pants. How do they "call" to others. or am I just nuts? Thats possible too, I mean I haven't dreamed of anything BUT mushrooms for weeks, now I gotta take sleeping pills so I'm not too inclined to go hunting my neighbors yard at 2am. Does Extra Mushroom Sensory Perception really exist?:shrug:

It is certainly possible to smell mushrooms and mycelium from some distance away.

Often when walking through the woods I smell maple syrup.  This happens only when I am in the correct habitat for candy caps, and it happens even when they aren't fruiting.

A few people on this forum have said that they often smell the mushroom that they are looking for before they see it.  Some species are easier to pick up than others.  Sometimes the smell is so faint that its subconscious, but it gets you looking around.

I have Shroomdar TM.

I have spotted Gymnopilus junonius at 45MPH while driving. They don't call to me, I don't smell them... I just see them no matter what. I see them out of the corners of my eyes, or directly below me, or under plants in flower beds, or in the woods. I hone in on them somehow. It's crazy. My wife says it's a gift. Or a curse...

If you want to find psilocybin in species that are not yet known to be psychoactive, you should do chemical tests. That way you won't get sick and die all the time.

I had not yet looked into those, are they good, or edible, Wiki says some are active. They are completely new to me. I see they grow in the PNW, but I dont believe I've ever seen any. Although, I do know the feeling about driving, my first find was also a 45mph drive by, went back after the fact(wife would've killed me had I stopped with her in the car.

I can spot birch boletes at about 30mph.  Anything over that and I need to start watching the road!  :dancer:
