True or false does thumping the mushroom before you pick it drop spores so they'll grow back?

A guy I went hunting with told me that, but he seemed less experianced than myself.

No, flicking nor thumping the caps helps disperse spores. Spores will have already dropped if you pick mature mushrooms, and if they are immature, there will be no fully formed spores to drop off the gills.

If thumping or flicking mushroom caps worked, you wouldn't have to wait hours for spore prints to finish, you could simple flick the cap above the paper, and the spores would fall. Of course, that doesn't work.

There are some funny mushroom hunting myths here in Texass....

One I have heard is you can only pick them during the morning, "otherwise they turn to poison". Ive also seen people who think a cube cap covered in purple/black spores makes it poisoned.

Another great thing people like to say down here in the dirty south is you have to flip over the cow shit to find mushrooms. I dont understand this. I mean sometimes you can find a pin or two that hasnt poked out the side of the dung but this shit is weak.

yeah, but i like to chuckle at the mental image of inexperienced kids handling cow dung.

cubes only grow after a night of rain and thunder, and then they sprout in the morning, but after the morning is gone, they disappear....

I love all the people that claim to have found cyans in the summer! LOL.

Or a good one I heard on Thursday actually, if you walk around a night in a cardboard fridge box (with a flash light hanging from above) along the edges of golf course fairways you'll find the right kind. Just watch out that the sun doesn't come out cause apparently that's what happened to this guy's friend and he got arrested.

One in three magic mushrooms will kill you..

If it has got a gold top eat it.

if it has a red cap with white spots, eat it.

I just hate the people that have never really gone hunting and try and tell you what to do. Or they see a picture of a cyan or lib and say, "oh yeah, i see those all the time where i work/go to school/whatever"

NO YOU DONT! YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE FUCK YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT.

the same people that will go out "hunting" and pick every single mushroom and them come back and ask me which ones are good. AND THEN ARGUE WITH ME ABOUT IT!

..and I didn't even graduate from fuckin' high school.

I love how part of this guy's survival technique always incudes scaling a sheer cliff, eating a nasty looking grub, or shimmying a hundred feet up a dead tree.  :rolleyes:

Well if our planet did not have a Moon, not much life would excist here on Earth. I believe the Moon phases play some role in how mushrooms behave, certainly not significant, but I am sure it has some impact. It is all speculation I suppose. From an astronomical standpoint, what is happening in our universe right now is beyond anything a human could ever fully understand.

Cubes grow in California. Ive argued with people about this soo many times.

They allways say, "You cant know that for sure".



I usually just give up and tell them, "Ok go and look for you non-existant wild californian cubensis, IM going to look for some cyans".
