I've fried them in some butter and eaten them like a steak.
I've managed to finf them growing in the same spot after a heavy rain in mid to late September.

Morels are rare where I live and chanterelles not so rare, but only sprout up around summer, so not so pleasant to forage when it's hot and humid outside.

One of the ways to help identify a mushroom species is by its spore print (leave the cap on a piece of paper or aluminum foil overnight and see what color you get after the spores have dropped) Spore Prince is just a play on words of that. :)

Spore_Prince Link ParentThis is a great video I recommend that dives into this topic more. It's been awhile since I've watched it, but I believe he recommends disguising oneself as a traveling priest/monk.This is a great video I recommend that dives into this topic more.

Spore_Prince LinkIn Japanese, they have a word with no real distinction between the 2 colors (Ao or 青). It's really interesting topic, and if anyone is curious this article talks more about it.In Japanese, they have a word with no real distinction between the 2 colors (Ao or 青).

Kind of an obvious one, but when I'm in the mood to listen to a podcast or audio book driving along long stretches of highways really sets the mood for me. Being able to level up and hire drivers to expand your trucker empire is also a nice reward! -

A couple of interesting things:
The Coprinopsis genus name literally means living on dung which, of course, there are quiet a few of those species in that gallery. Some mushrooms that grow on dung range from the infamous magic mushrooms (Psilocybe cubensis) to commercially sold white mushrooms from the grocery store (Agaricus bisporus). There are even some species that are edible but alcohol should be avoided before and after consuming those .Anyway, sorry for the ramble. I'll end this by saying mushrooms are neat!

Comment on My own dry rub for meats in ~food
Spore_Prince Link ParentI follow a similar recipe as well, but I sometimes like to add about a Tbsp of mustard powder. It adds a bit of spiciness and tanginess.I follow a similar recipe as well, but I sometimes like to add about a Tbsp of mustard powder. It adds a bit of spiciness and tanginess.
As most have already mentioned, it's great for making meat super tender. Ive done 48 hour beef short rib that were amazing, as well as a 3 day pork belly recipe for Christmas one year.
As for accessories, I highly recommend getting a bag of the little plastic balls they sell to retain the water for long cook times. I've read it works better than a lid as the moisture that escapes from where the sous vide is placed could potentially damage the device.
