Come here during the mushroom season. I'll literally show you guys new worlds. Ferns as high as your chest, free mushrooms and berries everywhere, beautiful species of trees, or the whales, the feeling of being warm and dry in a tent during late autumn is amazing.
During the mushroom season I harvest spores and tissue samples, send stuff in for genetics and sell the rest to commercial farms looking for new genetics. Stumbling across reiishi the size of a dinner plate is 300 bucks easy at the local market or Asian communities. 500 to a health shop.
Pay for the trip just finding something. It's like hunting for 50 dollar bills.
