Create a Ginseng forum on this site

I have seen quite a few members from the eastern part of the country post pics of ginseng plants on this site. Ginseng is definitely treasure where it grows, I think a ginseng and mushroom forum would be awesome. Just a thought.

I predict you will become a serial killer sir!

I'm guessing this subject, if it came under anything, would come under the "hobbies" forum? Start your own Ginseng and Mushroom bonanza there.

LOL I was worried to post to this thread cause I figured ginseng and mushroom were 'covert' words for something else entirely LOL

in fact I just kinda didn't get this thread at all.....

maybe under 'natural medicine' or 'health benefits' or something like that ?

Who is posting about ginseng and where? lol I haven't seen it but then again I don't get around the board too much...darn big board HAHA

You can find this stuff growing wild around here. I knew a dude from Blairsville who cultivated the native USA version of Ginseng (it's superior and more expensive than the Asian variety) but people kept sneaking onto his property under the cover of darkness and stealing his entire crop.

Ramps, Ginseng, and Morels can all be found in my region of the state. I live the far northeast corner near the NC and SC border. There is better hunting in North Carolina for all 3 of those wild treats though.....

Those ramps are great in scrambled eggs.

Ginseng is worth $400-$600 per pound and is "hunted" in many eastern states. I have seen a lot of members post pics of the morels and other mushrooms they have found, these are also very valuable and "hunted" in the regions where they grow. I am not surprised that the some uneducated people would have no clue as to what I am talking about. They are usually the same people who post pictures of the clad they found at the playground.

I knew a guy who ran up on a HUGE patch of ramps up in NC. He carefully removed them, put them in burlap sacks, dowsed them with water, then packed his truck bed full of them and covered it with a camper shell.

He then drove all the way to California with them and traveled up the West Coast stopping at 5 star restaurants selling them to chefs. Don't know exactly how much $$$ he made, but he didn't need to work for nearly a year.
