I just wanted to start a post of all the annoying little Mushroom hunting myths!
The one that annoys me the most is
stomping mushrooms into the ground makes them grow back faster...
Well what mushroom hunting myths annoy all of you avid mushroom hunters here at the shroomery?
Hope this post is alright CureCat:)

the only mushroom stomping myth i've ever heard is that stomping or kicking toadstools will keep them from growing back. on par with the old belief that it was bad luck to walk by them, which i believe is where toadstool kicking originated.

That plucking mushrooms rather than cutting near the base damages the mycelium and inhibits fruiting.
Not True! You just gotta be careful and wiggle them out, not rip them brutishly out of their home.

i've heard a couple of off the wall and persistent myths and misconceptions:
'you have to flick them and then they turn completely' 'you have to squirt water into the spores with a syringe and extract them to make them active' [heard that one twice] 'when you grow them you have get some ropey mycellia and grow it under the right conditions so they'll come out the right kind to make you tr!p ballz0rz'

mostly they, like all the misconceptions i've heard, come from completely misreading something or not understanding the terminology or context, then often telling it to somebody else who understands it even less and then repeats it.

i don't know about growing back faster, but stomping a mushroom into the ground would in effect smear it's spores back into a viable substrate... just don't try it with dung lovers 
let's see... hunting myths...
how about this one I've been seeing lately.
Look for the ones with purple juice. (huh?) Or the ones that bleed blue. (wtf?) Or the ones that bruise purple. (saw some of those today, but I don't think they'd make me trip bawlz0rxsxz)
any brown mushroom is okay to eat, any white one is poisonous. (good idea to stay away from all-white ones, but still... bad info both ways, and a good way to get sick or dead.)
coon is good at IDing pan subbs.

what actually is annoying is when people try to insist i'm uneducated or don't know what i'm talking about for trying to set them aright.

I encounter this frequently. I usually stop talking to these people... I don't like getting angry.
