Summary: Habitat and nutritional influences

There are a few patches along gravel roads I pic from, but this obs. is far from human influence. This patch produced several dozen “land squids” over the fall.

I have read on the nutrinional info on these as well and it feels just like you’ve downed a couple of 5 hour energy drinks(which are vitamin based). There is the fact that since these don’t keep over night I’ve been known to eat a lot in one sitting.

Summary: It is a known heavy metal accumulator…..

Were these in the wild or closer to human influence? Maybe they concentrated something that is giving you your buzz?
