These are the easiest natives to grow where I live, they just seem to LOVE it here. I haven't tried one yet because i want them to establish a bit more thoroughly first. How was it?? Euell Gibbons apparently said they were top tier right?
I haven't found colony large enough to really harvest yet. This was from a smaller one I found near my work site. I only took one for a proper Id
But one reason they're so rare to find up here is because a lot of less careful foragers will overharvest from one spot and unintentionally wipe out the colony as a result so they must be good.
I gotta start going deeper when I hike so I can find a proper place to harvest from.
That's very responsible, I wish others would be. Whichever of us happens to taste it first will have to come back and give an update lol.
All the woods near me are soooooo overrun with invasives that I just plain refuse to ever disturb the natives when I find them... Instead I grow my own at home.
