There are some mega-sized chunks that I will come back for one day. I don't sell any though. what kind of prices do you get for it MySide?

I collected while deer hunting, always found more than I could carry in my pack. Carried out 32 lbs one day. So what’s it worth green and dry ? I could easily supply around 200 lbs green each fall. Also I’ve read that it has more nutrients if collected in fall and winter ?

Yeah, could have been earlier, but I don't really care all that much Well,,If you are harvesting for Medecinal purposes,,you SHOULD care that's Its harvested properly and at the right time.If you don't care because your just selling it to unsuspecting buyers that are unaware you are not harvesting at the optimal time frame,,then I guess too bad for them and shame on you.
