surely this is something that u should learn like passed down from generation to generation, or they should teach you in school… yay a school field trip! today children we’re going to learn about mushrooms but before you put on your wellies lets read a chapter of alice in wonderland
they grew on the fields of my old high school at least until the early 90s. I’m not sure though if the class of ’92 onwards fucked up the mycelium by greedily caning the lot or the Council used some sort of chemical warfare on them on the advice of thames valley police – or todays kids may be even ignoring Nature’s bounty and doing mephedrone instead… sadly what I do remember is when they were briefly legal and sold in head shops teenage kids were caning fuckloads in class and (predictably) freaking out and frightening their teachers who had the kids bluelighted off to the nearest hospital for observation, and that was one factor in the things being made illegal.
There are chemicals what can destroy the mycelium of these shrooms and many others. Its a really unpleasant nasty thing to do to the soil and risks long term environmental damage (the shrooms are part of the ecosystem and there for a reason) but unfortunately they do get deployed in some Council areas especially when folk bleat about “safe environments for children….”
