I think as long as it isn't a rip off, it's fine by me. Hook up your close friends, but charge everyone else!
wouldn't you try and make a few dollars on that?

I agree, it's not a big deal unless you're an asshole or ripping people off. It's lame if they go into an area and trash it while picking though...and plus if you're really in it for selling, just grow. then you don't have to wait for tempermental things such as the weather.

Those people are fucking amazing! They risk getting arrested... they put their lives at stake to be able to bring you fresh gifts of elderberries and magical mushrooms. They are people too! Fuck you guys for giving them a bad time!

the ones doing it right and not raping people's wallets are doing the psychedelic community a service. many people don't know the first thing about mushroom hunting. these guys are offering a service of collecting and identifying the mushrooms, then bringing them to you for a nominal fee. it's simple economics.
if you don't want to pay, then learn to id for yourself.

I'm all for the small business man. I've been hunting, actually, I'm working on a field guide. And I know hunting is no simple task.
I say support your local dealer.

Wow it seems to me as if the general consensus of the pub about selling picked wild shrooms has changed.
If I'm not mistaken I once mentioned this topic on a thread. I said something along the lines of i pick shrooms and sell them to friends and people that want them. i would get responses telling me im cheap and greedy and how its unfair i get them for free and sell them to make money. i thought i dont really care because like danlennon said i do risk getting arrested for picking psychadelic mushrooms, and also its nice to make some money off of it too. just wanted to say that.
neway i think its fine to do. to me it doesnt make sense to spend those hours hunting and picking shrooms to just give them away to friends. there is alot involved with hunting and picking mushrooms such as keeping a lookout for people, picking discretely and the pain and aches you get from bending down and picking. lol i rememeber many times where my neck and legs and feet would be burning because of picking and looking down soo much i would have to stand up and take a break. Not to mention the places where you have to pick, Ill just say its not a very clean job In many aspects i can see how that is a good thing to do tho. hooking your friends up with free trips and good experiences, ultimately would lead to good Karma in a variety of ways. but i want to SEE some benefits for all my hours of searching for and picking mushies ya know!!! its not that easy to be successful at hunting mushrooms i know from experience thats how i see it.
but if your picking them and just ripping people off obviously thats just fucked up.

i think its wrong if they dont eat any of what they sell
if you pick shrooms and eat the wild mushrooms you pick and sell what ever else you pick for profit, i dont mind.
i just would be mad if they pick and sell and dont even eat any

it's sort of a selfish thing to expect shrooms for free... unless a friend goes out and picks them.

I sell a small portion of my seasonal finds. Give away a larger portion and eat the rest.
