I hadn’t appreciated the ethics of mushroom picking until now. I knew vague things about picking with a mesh bag so that spores can drop. But, really, it sounds like we need to leave a few, plus little and old ones, and also leave as much stem as possible.
Buffs also do transplanting — stashing good ‘shrooms in likely spots.
Hard picking wrecks sites — we don’t want that.
Heads-up!
