Hunting in a Bog
    #11571219 - 12/02/09 05:08 PM (14 years, 2 months ago)

I happen to live very close by a bog, and did a little foray there today.

I found very few fungi there. I did find an old L. sulfurus and some other fungus that looked like a Russula sp. growing out of wood. It looked like it had been there for a long time, and was covered in green mold. Other than that, just lot of papery polypores that seem to be there year-round.

Interesting place to be! What struck me most was the stillness. Everything is very quiet and eerily still--like in a movie before the guy with the chainsaw jumps out. There is a real aura of timelessness there. Some of the fallen trees were like petrified wood. Soil is not exactly firm either! I tried to jump a brook running through the middle and my foot sunk in almost up to my knee.

Good stuff, tranquility is one of the things that attract me to mushroom hunting...but, err,  Russulas don't grow from wood they're mycorrhizal.

e: woops, 'looked like Russula'; nevermind, good night.

You are living, tango!

There's a swamp area near mid GA some argue is prehistoric, and nurtures rare and [ahem] *coastal* species.  The other side of the argument comes from review of 1800 'letters to england' slamming the settlers for farming a pristine river into mudhole smitherines.  I've only been downstream of it while flooded and did not happen to see a single mushroom, (or 'pawpaw tree' - indians were keen on these).  My understanding is that the DNR has the main attraction caged for preservation. 

Sounds like a place that wants you to spend time there, like a railroad taking you back in time or something...

Supposedly they found like a Wooly Mammoth or something like that in this bog like 200 years ago. Apparently stuff doesn't decompose in bogs--there was a raccoon carcass in there that looked like new--so imma keep an eye out for bones, fossils, and the like.

If I find a preserved human body I'm going to flip my sh*t. Hell, living in NJ I might find a fresh one.

God I love this forum! My roommates and friends think that my cheese has fallen off my cracker cuz I'm mushroom hunting in bogs, but here I find understanding!

I will take some pics for you next time I'm out. The weather has really improved--it's raining cats and dogs across the Northeast USA right now (OH YEAH!)--so hopefully I'll see some fresh blooms on my next trip!

I still have yet to find a blewitt.
