Forum Rules (Everyone Must Read!!!)

1] What you CAN NOT post.

You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this forum to post any material which is:
- abusive
- vulgar
- hateful
- harassing
- personal attacks
- obscene

You also may not:
- post images that are too large (max is 500*500px)
- post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or cited properly.
- post in UPPER CASE, which is considered yelling
- post messages which insult the Armenians, Armenian culture, traditions, etc
- post racist or other intentionally insensitive material that insults or attacks another culture (including Turks)

The Ankap thread is excluded from the strict rules because that place is more relaxed and you can vent and engage in light insults and humor. Notice it's not a blank ticket, but just a place to vent. If you go into the Ankap thread, you enter at your own risk of being clowned on.
What you PROBABLY SHOULD NOT post...
Do not post information that you will regret putting out in public. This site comes up on Google, is cached, and all of that, so be aware of that as you post. Do not ask the staff to go through and delete things that you regret making available on the web for all to see because we will not do it. Think before you post!


2] Use descriptive subject lines & research your post. This means use the SEARCH.

This reduces the chances of double-posting and it also makes it easier for people to see what they do/don't want to read. Using the search function will identify existing threads on the topic so we do not have multiple threads on the same topic.

3] Keep the focus.

Each forum has a focus on a certain topic. Questions outside the scope of a certain forum will either be moved to the appropriate forum, closed, or simply be deleted. Please post your topic in the most appropriate forum. Users that keep doing this will be warned, then banned.

4] Behave as you would in a public location.

This forum is no different than a public place. Behave yourself and act like a decent human being (i.e. be respectful). If you're unable to do so, you're not welcome here and will be made to leave.

5] Respect the authority of moderators/admins.

Public discussions of moderator/admin actions are not allowed on the forum. It is also prohibited to protest moderator actions in titles, avatars, and signatures. If you don't like something that a moderator did, PM or email the moderator and try your best to resolve the problem or difference in private.

6] Promotion of sites or products is not permitted.

Advertisements are not allowed in this venue. No blatant advertising or solicitations of or for business is prohibited.
This includes, but not limited to, personal resumes and links to products or
services with which the poster is affiliated, whether or not a fee is charged
for the product or service. Spamming, in which a user posts the same message repeatedly, is also prohibited.

7] We retain the right to remove any posts and/or Members for any reason, without prior notice.


- PLEASE READ -

Members are welcome to read posts and though we encourage your active participation in the forum, it is not required. If you do participate by posting, however, we expect that on the whole you contribute something to the forum. This means that the bulk of your posts should not be in "fun" threads (e.g. Ankap, Keep & Kill, This or That, etc.). Further, while occasionally it is appropriate to simply voice your agreement or approval, not all of your posts should be of this variety: "LOL Member213!" "I agree."
If it is evident that a member is simply posting for the sake of posting, they will be removed.


8] These Rules & Guidelines may be amended at any time. (last update September 17, 2009)

If you believe an individual is repeatedly breaking the rules, please report to admin/moderator.

            Re: Wild Edible Plants

            Well I messed up again(surprise). I'm sure theres a way to put comments with each pic but the devil made me mess up.
            I hate it when that happens.
            So --- post/38 ---large white thing on moose antler is a ?fungus? That grows on Birch trees. Small brown object with stones is inner piece of fungus growth on Birch.
            Post/41 --- everything is on a naturally shed moose antler from Kenai peninsula ,Alaska.
            Bottom is fungus growth from Birch tree.
            Blue stone(lapis lazuli) is on naturally shed Elk antler from Afognak island which is next to Kodiak island, Alaska.
            Above left of blue stone is a piece of Mastadon ivory.
            Above right of blue stone is a chunk of old walrus ivory.
            To the right of walrus ivory is a stone called Chrysocola.

                Also, yesterday I went to At&T to get help sending pics. Spent 29 minutes with a "pro". The "pro" then went cross eyed and sent me to an authorized Apple representative. Spent 25 minutes there and then was asked if I could leave my I pad at the store for an hour or so. Finally got to the point I'm at now but all research I was doing for another site on this forum was gone. Apparently I was not storing gathered info correctly(who would have ever guessed).

                  Also forgot to say, the upper green stone with darker green center is Vericite and the tea is quite pleasant.

                    That's really fascinating stuff, Alaska seems to be full of these natural treasures, especially all the stones you're finding. The variety of mushroom you posted is I believe a polypore, a class with no toxic varieties, though many are not very pleasant to eat as they can be woody, or without taste. I'm sure that some might have medicinal properties though.

                    All these stones you find... do they naturally appear on the ground during your travels in the wilderness? And the Vericite... that is part of a stone that you make tea with? wow. I never heard of such a thing.

                      Sorry for lack of clarity. I started carving ivory, naturally shed antlers and rocks when I was 27. I'm now 63
                      (but everyone tells me I still look 62). The stones are just to enhance the photos --- no food value. Also although there are many stones in Alaska none of rocks in pics are from Alaska. The Mastadon, Walrus, elk and moose are from Alaska. I showed them as well to both make pictures interesting but also similar to wild edible hunting one can find wild none edibles with much the same personal satisfaction and pleasure.
                      Make sense now? I'm the kind of guy if you meet me I often as not have gems on my person, been that way since I was a kid.
