Kansas Cubes (Pics) UPDATE 12.04.04

WILD Cubes found in NE Kansas horse dung pile and in the middle of a trail. (approx 2 lbs wet) Walking up the trail, I first encountered this incredibly meaty group. The stipe of the largest was saved and caps discarded. All of the caps (except for 2 small ones) from this group were over mature and buggy. The stems proved to be okay. (take note of the large stumpy stem in the last harvest pic). Walking up to the dung pile, I spied caps peeking out from under some dry grasses. Moving the grasses to the side, the sunset revealed a most beautiful sight! And this is the harvest cleaned up. This is the third flush I have harvested from this particular patch. Finding cubes in Kansas is like finding a needle in a haystack! Namaste, Peaceful Nomad

This has to be one of the best finds I have ever had in one spot! I have hunted in Florida for years, and coming up with this type of harvest would have taken me over an hour of hunting. This particular haul took all of 15 minutes What boggles my mind is the fact that these cubes were found growing wild in KANSAS! I think it has something to do with the horses originating from gulf coast states or being shown in gulf coast states. I will post some other pics tomorrow. Namaste, Peaceful Nomad

Check out the stump of a stem on the right side of the harvest pic (in front of one of the largest caps). It was amazingly beefy! The stems of the rest of the haul are mostly solid. This should translate to a higher dry weight.

Went to check on the Kansas cubes and found the new patch to be fruiting again. I took one pic and the batteries ran out (forgot to bring fresh ones).
Nomadette found her first cube today. The veil had just broken and is a monster!
Unseasonably warm temps have not only kept the original patch flushing (5x now), but three new patches were located, fruiting with large, meaty fruits (unforunately, half were too buggy to keep the caps).
The beautiful aspect of this strain is how robust and meaty the fruits are. The pins were almost as big as a lighter. The stems are practically solid... more solid than hollow.
Namaste,
Peaceful Nomad & Nomadette

I agree with psily. They do look different from a lot of the cubes reported from the gulf coast. More patches on the cap and more reddish-brown. The first ones are incredibly meaty! They look a lot like agaricus! Beautiful finds!

Giant cubes, on horseshit, in Kansas, at the end of October.
You might want to get some spore prints; it looks like you have something special there.
