Mushrooming

UMMMMMMMMM!
The conventional approach is sth. like "First learn to recognize the poisonous species, and be absolutely sure of your identification"*. No, that is nonsense - there are thousands of poisonous, inedible and tasteless species. Why learn about them? You don't want to eat them anyway!

The conventional approach is sth. like "First learn to recognize the poisonous species, and be absolutely sure of your identification"*. No, that is nonsense - there are thousands of poisonous, inedible and tasteless species. Why learn about them? You don't want to eat them anyway! The positive approach im Mushrooming Without Fear shows you how to positively identify the best mushrooms. Quality not quantity is the message. "Edible" in conventional mushroom books means "not poisonous" and usually also "tasteless". Why, for example, bother with hundreds of difficult species of the russula group? You're not missing anything at all there. Concentrate on the best and enjoy culinary delights untrammeled by doubts. Why take the pleasure out of mushroom eating by adding dubious species to your dish?

Do not hesitate to contact me if you have questions about identifying and cooking mushrooms. I wish you successfull mushroom hunting and all the best


Very Happy

re: Mushrooming

I have a better way.

Drive to Tesco - look for the fruit and veg section, fill a bag full of mushrooms (big horsey ones) pay for them.

Take them home.
Cook them with bacon and eggs.

EAT THEM.

re: Mushrooming

It is not good practice to 'pick' mushrooms. They should be cut with a sharp knife allowing the base of the stalk to return to the ground and develop new spaws for further growth.

Chapter 2 page 5 from this months 'What Mushroom' Magazine.
