Went hunting today; spotted this patty from the road.
Unfortunately most of the other ones I found just single dried cubes spread over the pasture.
Also picked some berries

They are actually dewberries. many people call them blackberries, but blackberries are on a bush and dewbarries are on a vine. Also dewberry are so much better than blackberries. Blackberries always give me a bitter after taste.
I also found a few mulberries but most of them are too high to reach.

Nice finds

Austin Dewberries
"It tastes as good as it looks!"
The dewberry is a close relative of the blackberry, and like the blackberry, the dewberry makes a very tasty, though slightly mellower, wine. Dewberries grow wild throughout Texas, but the "Austin" dewberry is an improved variety that offers larger and more plentiful fruit than the wild natives. Cane for cane, blackberries outproduce dewberries, but a decent bramble of the latter will produce enough fruit for a gallon of good wine. In the alkaline soils of the south central Texas Hill Country, yields will be even less fruitful, so if you can't find a large enough brake of the canes to produce a gallon of wine, you can make up the difference with blackberries, but the taste will not be true.
Dewberry wine, like blackberry and beet wine, has a deep rich color, but the color bleaches rapidly in light. For that reason, the must should be fermented in dark glass or clear glass wrapped in heavy brown butcher paper. When bottled, age and store it in a dark place. I age and store my wine in cardboard wine cases my local liquor store saves for me, so my colors always remain fresh and pure. I have a brake of Austin dewberries planted along a fence and have a gallon in secondary fermentation right now. AUSTIN DEWBERRY WINE
* 5-6 lb. Austin dewberries * 2-1/2 lb. granulated sugar * 1/2 tsp. pectic enzyme * 1/2 tsp. acid blend * 1 crushed Campden tablet * 7 pts. water * wine yeast and nutrient
Pick fully ripe, best quality berries. Wash thoroughly and place in nylon sieve. Mash and squeeze out all the juice into a primary fermentation vessel. Tie sieve and place in primary fermentation vessel with all ingredients except yeast. Stir well to dissolve sugar, cover well, and set aside for 24 hours. Add yeast, cover, and set aside 5 days, stirring daily. Strain juice from sieve and siphon off sediments into secondary fermentation vessel of dark glass (or wrap clear glass with brown paper), adding water to bring to shoulder, and fit airlock. Place in cool (60-65 degrees F.) dark place for three weeks. Rack, allow another two months to finish, then rack again and bottle in dark glass. Allow a year to mature to a nice semi-sec.

Yeah, you can usually find most of them around fencelines or old junk piles in a pasture.

ive only lived in texas a year, and im finding shit i thought would NEVER grow in texas, apparently, we are in range 6, 7, and 8, which means pretty much everything survives heartily here.
I found ONE non active shroom last year, and the hunts been on since then, parks, lakes, horse pasture, rains, colder temps, all great times, YEAR ROUND, to find interesting fungi. Azures in the mid winters also... u never know whats gonna blow up from mexico/gulf coast.
happy hunting.
and Austin is the mecca of TX for fungi. found lots there.

I dont know any rain dancecs but you may try drawing some rain turtles.
One of my coaches in high school who coached Troy Aikman in high school was indian. He told about these rain turtles.
Everyone on the football team started drawing these in the dirt and it rained for about 4 weeks straight(off and on). We were hoping to cancel practice but I think only one even got cut short cause of lightning. We had to stop cause we were tired of practicing in the rain and on muddy fields.
The next year (senior year) we remembered these rain turtles and started drawing a few and we had rain. It was kind of creepy how good these worked for us.

Heres an example. Just spit on the head and rub it in with your shoe or something.
