Hey hunters, don't "throw them in the garbage", whatever "they" turn out to be!  That's what compost piles, or even just shrub beds and such are for.

I was once a member of the Wisconsin Mycological Society.  'Tis a good group to belong to to learn more about the fungi native to this region.  We had a foray at Point Beach State Forest one year that turned up literally hundreds of species.  These were all laid out on picnic tables, id'ed, and then..........dumped into the garbage!

Maybe I'm the weird one, but that is just plain wrong in my book.  Here we were, surrounded by thousands of acres of forest land, and all anybody could think to do with them was to throw them away.  When I protested this move, several more important members scolded me, chidingly stating that "we haven't hurt the fungi", as if I didn't realize the mycellial networks were still intact.  Yes, I get that, but any organic material, whether mushrooms, coffee grounds, banana peels, whatever, is better returned to the productive environment than buried somewhere under feet of clay.

To my way of thinking, all mushrooms should be allowed to serve as food for something, even if just other microorganisms.  Yes, I do know that I am out of the mainstream with such thoughts.

THIS. :billymaythumbup: I had to throw out a rotting Pan for which I forgot in my book bag and I knew it was wrong to do. I always try to look for an appropriate habitat when throwing away excess fungi.
