I like eating the ones I buy in the shop with lots of garlic though. xxGillian Roehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05080123177116154219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5117737617668210212.post-72151073901365226462014-11-12T14:37:35.674+00:002014-11-12T14:37:35.674+00:00Mushrooms and toadstools are fascinating to examin...Mushrooms and toadstools are fascinating to examine and photograph, and my mum used to tell me about childhood mushroom-picking trips in Poland.<br />I did recently listen to a radio programme on the 'middle class trend' for foraging and there were quite a few funghi-related horror stories in there. I know that in much of Europe you can get anything you've picked identified at your local chemist, but not here.<br />Also there are one or two varieties which make you very ill simply by touching them. <br />Best stick to the local market (although I bet a course would be fun to go on).<br />S xSarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08038836502384520598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5117737617668210212.post-23625259479910317282014-11-09T17:41:32.517+00:002014-11-09T17:41:32.517+00:00Never foraged them!

However the husband is much braver and often goes mushroom hunting. It would be wonderful to figure out which ones can be eaten, they seem to be so abundant. - Annienimble fingers and steady eyebrowshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11677272558535053485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5117737617668210212.post-90845295989247280282014-11-06T21:16:17.603+00:002014-11-06T21:16:17.603+00:00They're wonderful aren't they.

It would be nice to gather some and make something delicious wouldn't it.

(Maybe I shouldn't admit that as one of the original Grow, forage, cookers!) Perhaps I should be braver?! <br /><br />Thanks so much for joining in. xxxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5117737617668210212.post-24639794087062162762014-11-06T19:08:10.846+00:002014-11-06T19:08:10.846+00:00I kid you not, I have a fungi scrapbook which I co...I kid you not, I have a fungi scrapbook which I collect photos of fungi I see and then I come back and identify it, then scrapbook the page - I am a visual learner see, so I remember what they are called by the image of the page. I used to go with my uncle 20 years ago to collect field mushrooms, I was keen to pick and eat them - until I had one with a maggot in and ate it without noticing!! That put me off for a while but I am Ok with them now. I have eaten puffball, parasol and field ones. You can eat shaggy inkcaps but the texture always seems too soggy for my liking.
