Pin Killing Mo-Fo's

NOW... I know that some people are new to this whole shroomhunting thing, and maybe the etiquette is not quite uniform - but I have to say this. (and YES, it's been said before)
STOP PICKING MUSHROOM BABIES!!!
I keep watching patches get ASSraped by you punks (you know who you are) and it's really starting to piss me off. I know I don't OWN any mushroom patches... none of us do... and I know that it's part of the fun to try to get the shroom before the next guy does... but now at least 5 times this young season I've gazed upon a patch of little tiny baby pins, rubbing my hands together anxiously and grinning... and then turning and walking away, like a Grown Up should -- only to come by a day later to check up on them, ONLY to find that some [i]buttnugget has come by in the interim and destroyed the cycle.
When you you pick immature mushrooms, you:
- Get less gross mushroom material. (you get less shroomy goodness for your efforts)
- Effectively end the life cycle of the fungus. ( no more - or far fewer - mushrooms in that immediate vicinity the following year )
SO. get it straight... we pick the mushrooms that have planed out and presumably dropped their spores. BUT Stop Fucking the Children!... what are you? Republicans? If you need to get high that bad - go raid your mommy's zanex, you dipshit...
GRRRR......
There. I said it! I feel better.
MATT, so?

I don't understand why it matters if you pick the pins so long as you don't pull out the mycelium, besides the fact that you get less material .

mushrooms reproduce with spores
picking pins = no spores dropped
no spores dropped = no reproduction of the mushroom

while mushrooms reproduce by spores, they also reproduce when you take their stem-butts and use it for making spawn, which is then used to start new, larger patches. I dont know what kind of mushrooms the original poster meant, but this works for cyans and most wood-digesting psilocybin species. I agree that picking pins is pretty pointless and wasteful, but somtimes its less damaging to the patch to take a cluster of mature ones with a few pins amongst them. I generally pick each mushroom with its stem butt attached -unless it has already developing mushrooms directly attached to its base- and use each one for cardboard spawning, because the more stem-butts I get, the more patches I can create for all those people who dont do this(too many)!

Does the same code of conduct apply to other actives? No one seems to mind when people pick cube pins.

MATT, so?
man all you need is a few to sporulate. you can pick pins, if its a patch that has already beren sporulated on a few time.

yes but cyans depend a lot on their mycelial structure in order to produce from the same patch every year bonghittr.
people dont use scissors is mattso's point, they are tearing them from the ground.
and its not like they took a few mature specimens and woodchips home for ID, they are "sketched" and tear the shit out of all the patches, tearing up mycelium and stepping all over mushrooms to get to other ones, these are CARELESS people. the only real care is that they are gonna get high dude, you know, high? colors? omfg trippin man omfg so high omfg DUDE

it would be easy to fill a paper grocery bag at some patches, and then they get raped by these morons and the next year your filling a little doggy bag because theres 15 mature mushrooms instead of 15 thousand
i want to say that if i ever see someone ripping pins from the ground, im going to hold them down and force the entire patch down their stomach, nothing i say will change them, but the mushrooms know what to say to them
it ticks me off also to watch pins turn into 3" holes in the ground. some people really make an effort to "rip" the ground out it seems, either that or someones using a gardening trowel to dig them up. fuckin idiots.
scratch the forcing cyans down their throat approach, the next one i see i will probably urinate on, right there in public

Blame it on prohibition. I was like that when I first went hunting but I've learned. I know my way around the area and I'm probably faster than anyone chasing me.

Yeah topcorn... IF the picker is coherent enough to actually transplant the mycelium! I've got a bag of gold that says these buttplugs don't know mycelium from smegma!
bastages!
And I'm with you CaptGarden... I'll hold them down, you pee on them... then you hold them down and I'll poop in their hair. Then we can laugh at them and call them names... and have sex with their mom and videotape it surreptitiously , and post it on YouTube.
BASTAGES!

amen to everything but the force and maybe the urination.
it's a shame these people don't want to learn, or don't care. what happened to the idea that a good old fashoined shwagging would suffice. i've seen it work and yet on groups, meh.
