Re: few of my collection
Cool! I like the fungus!
Proverbs 6:6-8
Go to the ant, you sluggard;
consider its ways and be wise!
It has no commander,
no overseer or ruler,
yet it stores its provisions in summer
and gathers its food at harvest.

I checked two sources and PA does not have any of that sp. But of course all the surrounding states have them . Just in case, what are your tips? Also are there any other fugus growing sp. that you know of? Thanks!

Re: few of my collection
yeah i was seeing that too. but IMO if they are said to be "maybe" around your state, there is a good chance you could find them in it. it could also be that no one has recorded finding them in your area yet.AntsRule wrote:I checked two sources and PA does not have any of that sp.

Re: few of my collection
im not sure about bag worms. but the caterpillars im talking about turn into butterflies. what you are looking for though, is for there "poop", or "castings", or "frass". the ants like to nest under these trees, to harvest the frass falling from them(from the caterpillars butt actually). they then take it to the fungus chamber and have it ferment and such, to make a fungus ball to eat. im not sure what it would look like from bagworms, but here is what it looks like from caterpillars.
