Soothing Shrimp Posted August 10, 2014 Report Share Posted August 10, 2014 Anyone able to get their hands on the Psathyrella aquatica underwater mushroom found in Crater Lake and the rogue river in Oregon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soothing Shrimp Posted August 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2014 I can even give better coordinates on where to possibly find them: "Submerged basidiocarps were collected underwater in the Rogue River at 42°51′42″N, 122°30′28″W, 900 m elevatioin, approximately 45 km downstream from Boundary Springs, the predominant source of water for the upper reaches of the Rogue River in the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High5's Posted August 10, 2014 Report Share Posted August 10, 2014 That's just odd mushrooms are aerobic and breath o2. Dam nature your strange! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I caught a steelhead there. Beautiful place. I used to fish there quite often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subtletanks91 Posted August 10, 2014 Report Share Posted August 10, 2014 I'm making some posts on facebook to see if I can coax someone into collecting some for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sbarbee54 Posted August 10, 2014 Report Share Posted August 10, 2014 Great place I have fished the rouge many times Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun Posted August 10, 2014 Report Share Posted August 10, 2014 I would also take some if I could get it here!Sounds like a great centre piece and very sure that algae will not grow anywhere near them cause the use the same stuff algae does and also give off a chemical that will kill algae (just cant remember the name of said chemical right now)LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted August 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2014 No idea what it would take for the mushrooms to grow. Ferts? Overdose on CO2? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subtletanks91 Posted August 10, 2014 Report Share Posted August 10, 2014 You would have to test the river see what the params are co2 concentration etc and get the soil tested to know what it needs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
