Mushroom foragers

Becareful on that one. It use to be considered safe, it no longer is, some people died from eating them. I think the first one was in Maine.

I have no idea what a porcini is but that’s a scaber stalk.

Thank you, i did some research seems the issue with them is eating them under cooked. My neighbour told me to cook them very well done. Still not sure if i will mess with it. A porcini he called them turns out to be king bolete name or penny bun.

those are a type of bolete, they are not king bolete. Do more research. It’s not just undercooking. It has to do with some chemical they manufacture and or where they grow.

it’s been a couple years since I looked them up. I simply but then on my do not eat list.



If you decide to eat them. Good luck.
And I suggest a prayer before eating..

Not meant to sound harsh. I am just concerned, a worry wart.

No issue at all. Am taking your advice and threw them out. Just not worth risking it.
Again thank you. Will be on the loom out for those king ones.

Does anybody know about horse mushrooms? Think we found one. (My grandpa's mom used to pick them.) It did not stain yellow by the way. Also smells like anise/licorice.

Found two chanterelles.... a little early yet but I think the rain and now this cooler weather should trigger some more ... fingers crossed!

had a helper this year on the camping trip. The chants were super small this year due to drought conditions I’m sure. Nonetheless a small batch still ate well with steak.

Also when we got home from our trip. These were growing on our yard by a very dead oak tree.

note the orange center. They are brilliant and eye catching and for sure did a double take.
tricky mushroom. Do not eat. Not a chanterelle

Went chanterelle picking this afternoon, got a few. Can't post pics every time I try I get kicked off.

Found a couple soccer ball size puffballs.
Fried a few meals up, have some in the fridge yet. Not sure if I did the right thing dehydrated a dehydrator full of them. Turned to chunks of light Styrofoam like squares. Anyone dehydrate them? How do you rehydrate them after and use them?
I was figuring on just adding them to soup, but I know they end up soft so not sure if I went the right way.
