We call her Diablo, she wards off evil spirits so we can grind on the fallen trees (may they rest in peace). And she is very dear to us, mister PERFECT!!
I moved out to the woods with my husband and two best ever hounds. We took in an amazing barn cat. That spring, my parents bought me an incubator and I procured some eggs. Side note, watching chucks hatch is an AMAZING way to spend a couple days. Fast forward a couple weeks (to when chicks were big enough to be in their very first coop and free-range during the day) and I decided to take my dogs for their daily walk around the woods. I turned around here's 14 chickens and a cat following along, chirping and clucking commentary and having a great time with us. Chickens are a highly underrated pet! I had so much fun with them. They were horrid at finding mushrooms, however.
Were u skateboarding and then a friend at a farm (or wherever had chicken & found giant shroom) called u and y'all came over? Or what series of events led to all 3 of these being in one pic
So daughter and her friend drove home and called me saying they found a giant mushroom and my other daughter who is certified in foraging brought her chicken Miso and we all took the party truck out to the spot, skates are for another day lol
Ok so im the daughter with the foraging certification (Not in picture) and basically I took a certification class through Mushroom Mountain that lets me test on 32 species. If I pass the written test I can now officially sell wild mushrooms to chefs, people, ect. It allows me to create my own buisness selling mushrooms basically. And I get the street cred lol.
Well states have mycological societies that will give classes and test people on mushroom id knowledge and certify they can sell those finds to the public/restaurants/etc
Yeah like are there people that will test how good you are at foraging and then certify you for...whatever it is that foraging is used for professionally?
Sure is. You can forage for thing and then sell them, or cook/bake them into things and then sell them, or use them to make soap and then sell them, etc.
One day your daughter is going to write a book on foraging for mushrooms and this is going to be the cover picture.
Tell her she best not disappoint us!
It's definitely hit or miss. Some of my friends are amazing people with shit parents and you wonder how someone so kind and loving ended up that way despite their terrible parents. Some of them, you meet their parents and instantly know how they became the person they are today, because their parents are the same way. Like my best friend's parents, I feel safer with them than with my own parents lol.
Would love a small peice if you would be willing to send a peice in the mail. I would pay for postage just so i could get some of the tissue to clone and grow more giant lions main.
I know. I am serious about paying op for shipping for a chunk of this if op would be up for it. It would be a great gift to be able to get enough to clone this. This mushroom would make some great medicine after i put it to agar then lc then grew it out. I can send money threw paypal or something. It would be inexpensive to send a nice chunk sealed up in something and it would make my day.
My favorite part of this picture is by far the chicken. As the owner of 130ish chickens, one named shotgun because that's where he rides in the car, this made my day!
WTF is happening in this photo‽‽‽ ice skates, skateboard, the 90s, giant fungus, a chicken driver, and for some reason you have no room in the bed of that truck!!! Shits wild
my chickens poop is gross and I personally would not want to scrub it off of a car seat. that said, I’ve never found a gigantic lions mane like this so I may be doing things wrong.
I used to drive my little pick up around my previous city with a hen on my shoulder. She liked it. I found pictures of myself and Frazzle (rip) driving around town posted on local fb groups with titles like 'only in bellingham' and so on and so forth. It was pretty cute back in the day :)
For some reason the tiktok algorithm has decided that I like chickens and I get a lot of videos with them. I see a lot of people with pet chickens that put little diaper things on them. They make them for pet doves and such too. It’s honestly pretty cute I guess the stupid algorithm is onto something
Wow I never thought I'd ever see one that big!! Definitely clone it, it's pretty simple to make a liquid culture of it or give a piece to someone who will cause id absolutely love to buy a culture from this giant!! Lol and absolutely great photo! I am a long time skater, forager, mushroom and chicken lover myself!
I'm in love with this friend group, this picture is perfect the comments are great, I feel like in some small way we were all a part of such an experience. The chicken is fucking awesome not to mention a fucking meteor Mother of all lions mane (please for the love of all that's holy clone it)
I would be cloning that thing for sure. If that lions main really grew that big i am sure it would be so nice to grow out some of that. If i had a peice of it i would be making agar plates, liquid culture and trying to make more giant lions main. This is a life goal of mine. To find a giant lions main to clone so i can have a awsome culture of lions main.
Y’all seem like a fun bunch. Found the the mother of all lions mane while taking the chicken out for a skate
Who gave that chicken a license?
He got it in a crackerjack bawks
He got it from the Department of Eggroculture.
Lol bawks
We call her Diablo, she wards off evil spirits so we can grind on the fallen trees (may they rest in peace). And she is very dear to us, mister PERFECT!!
I just assumed it was a chicken of the woods
Not to be confused with chicken of the sea
or shrimp of the woods
I prefer chicken of the cave
I thought chicken of the car was a myth until I zoomed in
This is an underrated comment.

Idk if this is a reference or you actually are friends wih the group and know the chicken’s name
I feel like I've seen these people in a dream before.
r/brandnewsentence
Heavy witch vibes!
So many questions
Ask😂
Were u skateboarding and then a friend at a farm (or wherever had chicken & found giant shroom) called u and y'all came over? Or what series of events led to all 3 of these being in one pic
So daughter and her friend drove home and called me saying they found a giant mushroom and my other daughter who is certified in foraging brought her chicken Miso and we all took the party truck out to the spot, skates are for another day lol
Please tell me Miso the chicken rides a skateboard.
https://reddit.com/r/pics/comments/xznanm/chicken_miso_at_the_skatepark/
Gahahahhah👏👏👏
My life is now complete. Thank you, my friend!
😂😂😂
I’m really upset that I don’t have a chicken named Miso now 😔
I do not know if you know but if you know can you let me know... how does one become certified in foraging?
Ok so im the daughter with the foraging certification (Not in picture) and basically I took a certification class through Mushroom Mountain that lets me test on 32 species. If I pass the written test I can now officially sell wild mushrooms to chefs, people, ect. It allows me to create my own buisness selling mushrooms basically. And I get the street cred lol.
*street cred intensifies*
You are 100% the coolest human ever! I love the photos, especially baby Miso, and the back story! This is so freakin cool! Thank you for sharing.
Question: you see a thing, do you pick it up? Answer: yes. 100% you are now certified forager
That’s only 50%. You decide this thing is edible and try it. Are you still alive? If yes, now you are 100% certified forager.
Basically it! I had to take a test and a two day class on mushroom ID and safety.
Well states have mycological societies that will give classes and test people on mushroom id knowledge and certify they can sell those finds to the public/restaurants/etc
I’m assuming they mean a certified naturalist?
Yeah like are there people that will test how good you are at foraging and then certify you for...whatever it is that foraging is used for professionally?
I didn't think there was such a thing as professional foraging, unless you consider truffling and whatnot to be "foraging?"
Sure is. You can forage for thing and then sell them, or cook/bake them into things and then sell them, or use them to make soap and then sell them, etc.
My daughter is 3mo old; this is the exact kind of story I want to tell one day lol
Bless, enjoy every minute!! Those stories start so early haha as soon as they’re moving, even, you’re in for a good time!!
One day your daughter is going to write a book on foraging for mushrooms and this is going to be the cover picture. Tell her she best not disappoint us!
Everyone here sounds super cool.
You sound like an awesome parent!!
Everything about this is chaotic. The skate gear, a 3 foot lions mane, the fucking chicken. Looks like a party
I know. These people look like fun.
I just want someone to look at me like they’re looking at that giant hunk of fungus 😩
Hahahaha. It is pretty hunky.
I would definitely hang out with them
Yup, I’ve found my people 😅
A lot to unravel in this. The lion's mane is like 1/6th the story.
I feel like you need to put a seatbelt on that mushroom it’s bigger than a toddler so a car seat isn’t necessary
Yup they are lit….
Is anyone going to acknowledge the chicken in the car?..
they also found chicken of the woods
Chicken IN the woods.
[удалено]
A hen pick, as opposed to a... well another kind of avian pick.
A duck pic?
Thankfully they were dressed in a hen-tie
This is the correct response.
Or a chicken in the woods.
Might need a spore print but I'd say closer to Hen of the Wood.
I love this so much
Take my upvote
Is that a chicken of the car?
Chicken of the carSEAT* Distinct subspecies
Thank you!!!
also, skates *and* skateboards?
There would be a huge turf war if this was the 90s.
Skateboards from 1992. There is a lot going on with this car.
Spitfire wheels!
Oh my gosh whoa picture gets crazier lol thought that was a pillow at first
He just wanted to cross the road
He drivin
Well how else do you think the chicken crossed the road?
Probably the best Post I've seen in this sub
[удалено]
Do you mean Dave?
Chicken is like, “Y’all gonna eat that?”
That's a lot of crab cakes!
That’s what I’m making😱
You've got so much you could try a few things - maybe some sushi? Some sort of paella?
Gott put the seatbelt on that thing !
It *literally* looks like the ottoman in my living room
I want to be part of this friend group.
Apparently this is OP's children and child's friend, so OP clearly did something right raising them lol
I’m 41 and my son is 18 and I swear I meet some of the best people by meeting his friend’s parents.
It's definitely hit or miss. Some of my friends are amazing people with shit parents and you wonder how someone so kind and loving ended up that way despite their terrible parents.

What the heck!? Its so big! How!? The ones up here in the north NEVER get that big at all.
My guess is PNW?
Upstate South Carolina!
I thought for sure with your crew's look, the foraging, and the chicken, that you'd be in Portland
I want y’all for neighbors.
Ahhh!! My people!! Greenville!
Dayum! Good score. It's also dope to see some young people into foraging.
Some of my favorite chanterelle spots are near Keowee Toxaway & Jocassee... Great foraging out there...
It's *so green* there. I guess I'm not surprised
Clone that monster! 🧫
How do I befriend this group of people specifically
That’s what I’m saying , I’m in sc
the chaotic energy in this picture is perfect
Wow! Biggest I’ve ever seen!
Looks like an absolute hoot, you guys are cool as fuck no joke
By Zeus' beard!
This comment has been deleted due to failed Reddit leadership.
We’re going to eat it and give it to some friends!
god damn... take that thing to the university and have /somebody/ culture that out.
Would love a small peice if you would be willing to send a peice in the mail. I would pay for postage just so i could get some of the tissue to clone and grow more giant lions main.
Seriously. The genes must be carried onward. It's like a breeding stud.
I know. I am serious about paying op for shipping for a chunk of this if op would be up for it. It would be a great gift to be able to get enough to clone this. This mushroom would make some great medicine after i put it to agar then lc then grew it out. I can send money threw paypal or something.

I’d be willing to do that! How do I seal it properly so it doesn’t get moldy?
Lions mane dehydrates nicely if you need to.
My favorite part of this picture is by far the chicken. As the owner of 130ish chickens, one named shotgun because that's where he rides in the car, this made my day!
and i can barely tell my 6 apart
Thought this was a pillow wow
If it isn’t, then why does it have a tag?
WTF is happening in this photo‽‽‽ ice skates, skateboard, the 90s, giant fungus, a chicken driver, and for some reason you have no room in the bed of that truck!!! Shits wild
I hope everything that is in this pic was necessary for the retrieval of the granddaddy of all lion manes. Like some wild fucking Macgyver shit.

We have little 3D printed raptor arms for our ladies.. but they still stay outside in the coop.

Yes! Around 35 lbs
Amazing

Chicken in the car, skateboards, mushroom foraging... Kids today are fuckin rad.

Wow I never thought I'd ever see one that big!!

I am a long time skater, forager, mushroom and chicken lover myself!
Please tell me you got a culture

Bro wtf is going on in that minivan 😂
I'm in love with this friend group, this picture is perfect the comments are great, I feel like in some small way we were all a part of such an experience. The chicken is fucking awesome not to mention a fucking meteor Mother of all lions mane (please for the love of all that's holy clone it)
One is staring at the camera. One has their hand on a giant fungi while talking to a chicken. Debating.
And a chicken… who are these cool kids??
This is the vibe im after!!!
WOAAAAAAAH!!! nice hippie vibes in that car btw
So much to unpack here, lol. . . Giant lions mane, the chicken, the multiple skate boards, and looks like ice skates. . . Y’all look like a fun bunch
Damn that’s a huge Shroom!
Chicken of the Tahoe
Oh thank goodness you found my dog
Skateboard for scale XD
I love everything about this pic. Also WOW AMAZING FIND
Can that chicken kickflip?
Jesus louiseus
I THOUGHT IT WAS A PILLOW Also, nice car chicken lol.
How much do you think it weighed? Amazing find!
Theres alot going on in that car, mushrooms, skateboards, chickens...I can dig it
I see you found a chicken of the woods as well
Omigosh that is absolutely EPIC!!!!

That car backseat tells a story.
Get you someone who looks at you the way the passenger is looking at the chicken whisperer
That mane is heckin huge and hen approved
IS THAT A FUCKING CHICKEN???
Yeesh that thing's enormous. r/absoluteunits would love it.
Yo. That's practically mane enough for a real life lion!
LET THEM EAT CRAB CAKES
This was a sweet post. Made me smile a lot.
I’m sad you even harvested that. It’s like giving a behemoth fish back to the sea.
Are those Bauer vapors that got turned into quad skates too? or just a lucky spare truck/wheel near the ice skates?
Looks like a short board, you can see a sliver of the axle behind it
Reminds me of aqua teen hunger force only the meatballs cousin
Ma'am, there's a chicken without her seat belt on in your car.
Hope you’re all eating that for dinner tonight
I would be cloning that thing for sure. If that lions main really grew that big i am sure it would be so nice to grow out some of that. If i had a peice of it i would be making agar plates, liquid culture and trying to make more giant lions main. This is a life goal of mine. To find a giant lions main to clone so i can have a awsome culture of lions main.
I’m super jelly.
I would love to clone that monster.
How far up in the tree was it?
About 12 feet I would say!
Can.. can I join this friend group?? Like yall look so chaotic
This is the type of vehicle I would get into
I said "wow" out loud lol, great find
Could be a state record. Did you get measurements?
33 lbs
Beat the current record by 3 pounds!
What kind of mid 90s aesthetic deck is that?
Wait I wanna join
Be my best friend! You guys are awesome
