I probably have one of the more unusual reasons for buying my FJ. One of the major reasons I chose the FJ was to get to remote Mushroom patches. I am totally obsessed with hunting shrooms.... morels, chanterelles, black trumpets, boletes, etc. If it is a fungus, chances are I'm chasing it. Now with the FJ, getting to my spots and finding new, previously unaccessable spots is as much fun as finding the little buggers. If you don't know, now is the time to find one of my five favorite fungal fruitifactions... the morel. I've been hunting pretty hard and took a few wheeling photos I thouhgt I'd share. I couldn't take any pics of the really fun stuff becuase I was alone all but once. But here a few glamour shots anyhow.

Cool post, interesting hobby.
When I was going to school in Northern California (HSU) in the 80's, commercial hunting for wild edible fungi was so profitable in the Pacific Northwest that elements of organized crime came in and were protecting the more productive patches with booby traps and firearms.
Lol, I figured the title would turn some heads! I tend to stay clear of the magic shrooms. A little too intense for my taste! For sure a bad idea to drive if you do decide to go vision questing.
You guys would be surprised to know how many wonderful edibles are out there. Also, the best spots are often in remote, rugged areas so wheeling and shrooming go hand in hand. I just wheel around until I find a spot that looks good, then I get out and hunt. Once I'm tired of walking, I just hop in and do it all over! Most people are totally ignorant of the amazing variety of taste and texture in the mycological world. I pick and store FAR more than I can possible eat. I usually sell or gift all of my surplus away. If there are any gormet buffs or shroom lovers who want some really good shrooms that you can't buy in the store, pm me and I'll hook you up proper. I don't ever sell or gift mushrooms that have dangerous look alikes, so you don't need to worry about dropping dead after your meal. I consider myself an expert amateur, and I take identification very seriously....going to the microscopic level if needed. I'm sure I'll have more pics of great trails and great shroom harvests to share with you guys. The season is just starting here and it doesn't stop until the first hard freeze!
