I don't know exactly but from my experience and general understanding of fungi, I believe chicken of the woods and other fungal polypores incorporate into a tree when it's still alive and then depending on the type fruit while it's living or wait till it's dead. Also fungi can be picky about what kinds of trees they grow on, and in the case of CotW I've been warned against eating them when found on pine logs. Agar isn't a conifer so you're likely fine but you'd have to inoculate the tree now, let it grow then die, then decay to see if it fruits chicken and most of the time I see it it's on quite decayed very large trees. So if you start today with luck inoculating your agar and let it grow another decade or three then let it rot for a some time you could well grow yourself some sweet chicken of the woods in 30 or 40 years.

There's a couple of oaks near me that were knocked down in storms this summer, they're recently dead/dying. My hope is to drive a couple hundred spore plugs into them in the next few weeks, wax them over, then wait till next season and (hopefully) get some in far less than 30/40 years.
Chicken doesn't grow on the conifers around here I think that's more of a mid/west thing so I should be fine there. Worst case scenario I buy premade dowels, I really wanted to try and use this to make my own though

>Because I never tried it's too scary and expensive
I never understood this logic assuming you are not impaired in some way. I think it is a lot scarier walking places at all hours of the day, in all weather, just to try and make it. I used to ride my bike/walk everywhere into my early 20s because I was poor in college and I nearly got hit by cars on a weekly basis. My first car was $1200 and I drove it for 8 years. First summer I could work I bought it and never looked back. I also store a lot of my /out/ gear in it which is comfy so I am always ready for an adventure away from people.

If it makes an impact on you (outside of just being young and green or whatever) I hate to say it, but you will probably never get over it. I think the reason I never had much issue with it is because I've been cleaning fish, squirrels, and hogs with my grandpa since like five years old and it has just never really bothered me since then.

Here is a good hypothetical test for you- let's say you senselessly killed an animal- would it impact you? I mean it is one thing to see it as wrong or to see it as a waste.. but it is another thing if it actually affects you at a deeper level. If it does you probably just don't have the instinct. I dont even see it as a weakness- it is just a sensibility that some people have and others don't- probably due to their childhood experiences and just natural differences between people.

nah only NSW (New South Wales), a shitty southern heavily populated police state.

Australia's basically 6 autonomous countries each with their own laws and economies, the only thing linking them is a Federal budget and the military.
Half of the states have still never had a single covid case ever.
The rest of them only have 1 or 2 new cases a day.
It's literally just NSW suffering right now because their incredibly corrupt govt prioritizes taking money under the table from big business over people's lives.

Non-ironically looking for suggestions of a gift for my /out/ bf. What is something useful and cool you'd like to get gifted?
Main /out/ activity is hiking together, but I suppose something related to general self-reliance would be good too.
If it's something I can make instead of buy that's even better.
Please help this girl out

You can get these nice nesting gaiwan tea sets with snug carrying cases. I have one for longer day hikes in the autumn and I really love it. Bring hot water in a thermos or heat it up with a small stove.

Might be a nice gift if your bf likes loose leaf tea, is an aesthete, or generally likes comfy shit.

I use a cot to keep the bed from leeching heat and sleep naked in a Kelty 0 degree bag. The shell doesn't have any sort of insulation and I don't use a heater. That set up has been comfortable down to about 10 degree nights in the desert but don't forget to piss before you undress and bed down. As long as your set up includes a good bag, separation from the ground, and a wind break then everything else is secondary.

I usually go every year. I do a hammock (heavily forested area) with a full length underquilt and a zero degree mummy bag. I use a Warbonnet Superfly in house mode. I've taken this setup down to 11F and been comfortable. Everyone I go with has a variation of this setup, but we'll usually get some new guys that spend their first trip in a tent. Most of the people you take aren't going to come next year.

I usually sleep clothed. Long johns or underarmor, sometimes both. I don't take an in shelter heat source, but I will throw a few hot hands in the sleeping bag a few minutes before I get in; they keep it pretty toasty.
