Topic: Any Other Mushroom Hunters Out There ?

[ekpent]

   Running a little late around my neck of the woods. Found a couple batches of small blacks but ran into a nice large batch of big Morels around some dead apple trees today. Let the yearly gorge continue.
   If you post any pics I want the GPS location of exactly where you found them      Be my secret---Promise----

Central and East Europe mushrooms with pation. I never really enjoyed it.

But in the year of Chernobyl woods were full of mushrooms

Delicacy! How are the ticks this year Eric? Pretty scary here already. Might give mushroom picking a miss this year.

There was just a news bit on recently saying our local tick crop should be very huge this year. Already picked a few of the ugly little devils off Me.

I'll buy your k1 and you can keep the shroom!

I realize you live in Cali and may not realize what it takes to grow mushrooms on a motorcycle.

No mushroom hunting for me, and none of my friends scored any but the ticks are finding me. Had two on my armpit and two in my crotch, one attached right between my balls. The little tiny ones seem to be plentiful.

This is what  we typically collect:

Same use as store bought mushrooms but it has more flavor.

And these you bread and fry in oil like  a Wiener schnitzel.

Now that's good eating.

Where I live there are a lot of Chinese immigrants.  Unfortunately our Death Cap mushrooms look exactly like edible Chinese mushrooms.  Nasty...

I just eat the Morels, those other ones look scary and I would probably kill myself or end up seeing 'colors' for the rest of my life

Quite simple actually, if the bottom of the wild mushroom looks like this:



i.e. little holes - they are always edible.

Hard to scale but compared to the leaves those look like they get pretty big.

[Duke McDukiedook]

yeah, Morels are hard to mistake for the poisonous ones.

By poisonous, do you mean the good ones?

Yep...i dont mind the occasional verbal confrontation from 100yds, but when semi-automatic weapons become involved, i'll stick to sauteed white mushrooms on my steaks
